About this book

Curandero Conversations offers something for everyone. Following an introduction by renowned Native American healer and author, Jamie Sams, the book examines 190 actual email-based consultations with the curandero (Alberto Salinas, Jr.), followed by the anthropologist's (Dr. Antonio Zavaleta) commentary. The book also offers three major appendices including information for understanding cultural competencies in the delivery of health care, Internet resource links for continued study, and the most complete medicinal plant herbal used by curanderos/as on the U.S.-Mexico border. -- Publisher web site.
