The Source: The Story of an Indigenous Healing Center in Remote South Africa

The Source: Tshisimane is the thrilling account of surgeon David Cumes encounter with the indigenous medicine of South Africa his birthplace. Initiated as a sangoma or native healer Cumes learned to integrate ancestral insights with modern medicine. I know of no more fascinating personal journey among modern medical practitioners than this--a blend of courage and wisdom that are rare in any age. Cumes is equally at home with leopards stalking his wilderness retreat and the halls of a modern hospital. David Cumes is a modern hero--someone who has ventured into unknown territory faced great challenges and who returns to share his hard-earned wisdom. For anyone interested in psychological and spiritual growth this is a must-read. But it should come with a warning: This book may change forever your idea of how the world works. Larry Dossey M.D.
