Western medicines mix with traditional healing to combat sickness in the Rain-forest.

• Fascinating look at rain forest cultur
  

(... => so und ähnlich hat Mom eine Krankenhausstation auf Borneo (Kalimantan) geleitet und geführt (Krankenpflege + Geburtsheilkunde): der Ort war nur über Flüsse und Wasserwege zu erreichen ! Mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit steht dort kein Urwald mehr, die Flüsse sind verdreckt, die Menschen verelendet ! Das interessiert Jakarta und die Zentralregierung nicht, da erst Java mit seiner Bevölkerungsexplosion versorgt werden muss ! (weiter: zentralistische Besiedlungs- und Aussiedlungspläne von Javanen auf andere Inseln werden rigoros durchgeführt => Konfrontrationskurs mit Einheimischen)

Bruce tripping on mind-altering-drugs

In order to be initiated into this tribe, Bruce Parry has to take some mild-altering drugs. Watch the effects of the powerful hallucinations in this clip from BBC Worldwide.

=> Cave: bei traditioneller Drogeneinnahme darf man nie vergessen: Menschen in der freien Natur sind abgehärtet und keine verweichlichten, jammernden Stadtmenschen ! Allerdings können innere Verletzungen und diverse Traumata schneller zum Tod führen, da die medizinische Versorgung nicht annähernd flächendeckend ist wie in urbanen, städtischen Gebieten ! Dort wiederum wächst die Armut, so dass auch schon so manche Bürger in Ballungsgebieten keine medizinische Versorgung finden oder erhalten !
