Rain Forest Shaman

by

I think it is terribly sad that even though we know there are so many healing plants and the possibility of finding even more is almost definite, the rainforests are still being cut down at a massively fast rate.

In this National Geographic video, a respected shaman in Paraguay (which has one of the highest deforestation rates) leads researchers to different places to find certain medicinal plants. One in particular they go to find is of interest to scientists as part of cancer research.

Call me a tree hugger if you like, but the cutting down of rain forests makes me so mad. They keep cutting even though we know there are amazing forms of life in there and possible cures to some of the worst human diseases.

And yet they keep cutting.

  • Steve Irwin's Birthday
    On this date in 1962, Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin was born -- no doubt in little tan shorts. I have no idea how he got the nickname "Crocodile Hunter" as he didn't actually kill the crocs he [...]

  • Robin Thicke's "Sweetest Love" Music Video is Sexy
    I am a huge fan of Robin Thicke and his soothing R&B style. Not only is he a major dream boat but he has the voice to back it up. I would even say that he has bigger an dbetter singing chops [...]
