Curanderos: They Heal the Sick With Prayers and Herbs

"Not all cures come from the books of scientific medicine," boasts Don Panchito, a folk-healer who makes many appearances in Alberto Trevi o-Hern ndez's "Curanderos." With fascinating, firsthand accounts of healings performed with only prayer and herbal remedies, Mr. Trevi o-Hern ndez offers compelling evidence that Western medicine does not have a monopoly on disease prevention and cure. This book should interest anyone who desires a more holistic, spiritual approach to health care.
