Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I had been training in neuroscience for years, and I had a following as a best-selling author with 12 books to my credit. But I was also a shaman, and my training was rigorous and demanding. I had picked up a long list of nasty microorganisms during my travels.#2 I was told I had only a few weeks to live, so I decided to spend them with my wife in the Amazon. I boarded the plane and sat down. Just as the flight attendant offered me a moist towel, I suddenly stood up and announced that I was going to live what I had taught so many people.#3 I was welcomed back into the Amazon by the shamans, who made me a brew made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine that they use for visioning and healing. I was too weak to participate in the ceremony, so I stayed by the river.#4 I had to switch on the genes that create health, and I had to remind myself that there are no guarantees. I may not be cured, but my soul will be healed. I was gravely ill, and I had to switch on the genes that create health.
