Secrets of the Sacred White Buffalo: Native American Healing Remedies, Rites and Rituals
Secrets of the Sacred White Buffalo: Native American Healing Remedies, Rites and Rituals
A fascinating, illustrated guide unlocks hundreds of practical, all-natural healing remedies that have been used by Native American tribes for millennia.
Long before the advent of modern holistic medicine and “all-natural” remedies, Native Americans were using an awareness of the links connecting mind, body, earth, and higher spiritual powers to inform their approach to health. Internationally recognized health authority Gary Null takes us inside the fascinating world of beliefs, objects, and methods that have shaped the healing traditions of Native American tribes for generations.
Drawing on interviews with dozens of Native American healers across the country, Null describes different ceremonies for spiritual healing and rituals of song, dance, and storytelling. He examines the significance and use of sacred artifacts and symbols, and presents a carefully compiled guide to indigenous herbal remedies for more than fifty common conditions–including instructions for applying them to relieve sore throats, asthma, and other complaints.
From the infection-fighting tea of the Apaches to the antiseptic dusting powder of the Zuni Indians, Null shares the resourcefulness of Native American healers to give us an understanding and appreciation of these ancient healing techniques that have much to offer us all.
Customer Review: Secrets of the Sacred White Buffalo
For anyone who is interested in the use of healing herbs by Native Americans, or who is interested in herbs in general, this is the wrong book to read. It’s full of misinformation of every kind, so much so that one wonders if the author’s informants were pulling his leg. Plant misidentification, spelling errors, incorrect herbal information…it’s all there. As a herbalist, my advice is that no one should use this book as a guide!
Customer Review: Fascinating Reading!
I found this book to be fascinating reading. It contains extremely interesting information about the Native American cultures & their uses of herbs. In this day and age when so many people are turning to alternative medicine I think anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of herbs & their uses would not be disappointed in this book. The recipe section gives great uses for herbs in the kitchen. Also, if you want to look up an ailment & find the herbal remedy for it, it’s right there. I found this to be an excellent book.

This handbook explained how cancer develops and answered many of my families questions on the side-effects of chemo and radiation therapy. We even bought extras to share with our extended family.
Customer Review: A comprehensive guide for parents of children with cancer
Drs. Steen and Mirro and the many other contributers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have made a significant contribution to the clinical care of children with cancer in their editing of this new book. The chapters cover many topics to give parents an overview of the current scientific understanding of childhood cancers, along with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment procedures. This will be an invaluable aid to the unfortunate parents who have to face along with their children an often overwhelming battle for their precious little lives. The authors highlight the magnificent progress that has been made in the past 40 years as many childhood cancers can now be successfully treated almost 80% of the time. It covers spiritual, psychological and social aspects of treatment and even the topic of alternative therapies. It includes testimonials of success and a chapter dealing with the hardest topic–letting a child die when there is no longer any reasonable hope for curative treatment. It informs parents about the testing procedures their children will have and talks about the research-related issues that they will likely encounter. It provides useful address and links for support groups and additional information. I would highly recommend this book for parents and the professionals who deal with those parents who have children with cancer.

Customer Review: Might Be Right for You
No diet is right for everyone all of the time. However, despite many misunderstandings and myths, this diet can help some people A LOT. Don’t be afraid to try this diet, but make sure you read the whole book carefully first and do research by reading about other low-carb diets and low-carb websites. The most important contribution of this book is that it can encourage people to experiment with all foods to find the diet that best fits them at the time. The fact that Dr. Atkins challenged the mainstream dietary advice helped open the door for people that need high-fat and/or high-animal-protein and/or low-carb diets at any phase in their lives. This diet may or may not be right for you, but do some research to find out, because for some people it can be great.
