QUANTIC MEDICINE
It is the cell the elementary component of the biology, the organism is healthy if the cells that compose it are healthy, therefore, it in all any illness is their etiology and the committed organ there are sick cells, those that have lost their capacity of work and therefore their efficiency.
Near 100 billons of cells with the more varied specialization, they with constituent similar components are able to conform all the cellular complexes, tissues and organs that they conform our biology, everything in them it dependes on the communication and of the potential of energy that they provide.
THE KALLAWAYAS
It is said that they are the last direct descendants of the Tiwanaku lords of whose language they still speak, the Pukina. They are also, and above all, the last knowledge holders of the powerful plants of the Altiplano.
In 1959, in his book the Naked Lunch, Burroughs wrote this about the Kallawayas: "By the way, there is in Bolivia a region of high-altitude where all psychosis are unknown. It is believed that the minds of these mountain people are just as sound as that of a new born child. I sure would like to go there myself..."
Traditional Tibetan Medicine
When most patients seek a doctor for a medical diagnosis, they generally assume that the process will clearly and directly reveal the truth about their condition. Their assumption is that the diagnostic procedure will reveal their illness in much the same way that cutting open an apple bears its core. In most cases, however, nothing could be further from the truth. Read More
Tikal Lord presents offering in vessel to Itzam'ná and Ixch'el The Medicine gods
The Mayas were much more intellectually inclined than most archaeologists or anthropologists have indicated when they stress the wars between the cities or the rituals of blood sacrifice by the leader/kings or priesthood. The Mayan culture also was preoccupied with science, art, government, marketing, philosophy, letters and health. The Mayas were also involved in the scientific evaluation of medicinal applications to curing what ailed them, some 1500 different plants were used for herbal prescriptions. A civilization so robust and filled with great structure and fine aesthetic touch cannot reach such high levels of advancement unless it is well fed...spiritually and physically.

Indian American Medicine
Introduction
To most American Indians, medicine signifies an array of ideas and concepts rather than remedies and treatment alone. There is no separation between religion and medicine in tribal culture and healing ceremonies are an integral part of the community experience. To the American Indian, the natural or correct state of all things, including man, is harmony. Method of Treatment
Indian medical treatment is seen as a combination of rational and religious practices being performed collectively by the same functionary. There are variations in healing procedure from tribe to tribe and in different cultural areas. However, there are some methods which are nearly universal. Common methods of treatment include prayer, chanting, music, herbalism, counseling, and ceremony. Indian Theories of Treatment
Native healing of externally caused injuries, in which the origin of the ailment is perfectly obvious, is usually rational and often effective. In such a category are fractures, dislocations, snake and insect bites, skin irritation, and bruises. Traditional Aboriginal Bush Medicine
Aboriginal people traditionally were much healthier than they are today. Living in the open in a land largely free from disease, they benefited from a better diet, more exercise, less stress, a more supportive society and a more harmonious world view.Ancient Egyptian Medicine
In Sickness and in Health: Preventative and Curative Health Care If one had to be ill in ancient times, the best place to do so would probably have been Egypt. Not that an Egyptian's chances of survival would have been significantly better than those of his foreign contemporaries, but at least he he had the satisfaction of being treated by physicians whose art was renowned all over the ancient world.
