Rio Tigre and Beyond: The Amazon Jungle Medicine of Manuel Cordova

Rating:
Summary: Valuable contribution to medical science
Review: Manuel Cordova-Rios apprenticed with shamans of the Huni Kui people of eastern Peru at the turn of the century. During his lifetime as a healer and physician he utilized this knowledge to its maximum, recording and proving the comprehensive health system of these indigenous people to be one of the most sophisticated in existence.
