Ancient Ways to Ultimate Wellness
BY ALBERTO VILLOLDO, Ph.D.

Publisher : Hay House


Release : May 5, 2015
Contact : info@onespiritmedicine.com

Today our minds, our emotions, our relationships, and


our bodies are out of kilter. We know it, but we tend to
ignore it until something brings us up shorta worrying
diagnosis, a broken relationship, the death of a loved
one, or simply an inability to function harmoniously
in everyday life. When things are a little bad, we read a
self-help book or go to a workshop. When theyre really
bad, we bring in experts to fix the problemoncologists
to address cancer, neurologists to repair the brain,
psychologists to help us find peace and understand
our family of origin. But this fragmented approach to
health is merely a stopgap. To truly heal, we need to
return to the original recipe for wellness discovered
by shamanstraditional healersmillennia ago: One
Spirit Medicine.

Unlike modern medicine, which recognizes thousands of ailments and


myriad remedies, One Spirit Medicine identifies one ailment and one cure.
The ailment is alienation from our feelings, from our bodies, from the Earth,
and from Spirit. The cure, One Spirit Medicine, is the experience of primeval
Oneness, which restores inner harmony and facilitates recovery from all
maladies, regardless of origin.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience as a medical anthropologist and


training in the shamanic traditionas well as his own journey back from the
edge of deathacclaimed healer and teacher Alberto Villoldo introduces us to
this powerful practice, based on healing methods that our Paleolithic ancestors
knew 50,000 years ago and supported by the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience.
We learn how to detoxify the brain and gut with superfoods and supplements;
discover ways to switch off the death clocks in our cells; explore techniques for
working with our luminous energy fields to repair our bodies and our brains; and
follow the ancient teachings of the medicine wheel to shed disempowering stories
from the past and pave the way for rebirth.

Using the principles and practices in this book, Dr. Villoldo promises, you
can feel better in a few days, begin to clear your mind and heal your brain
in a week, and in six weeks be on your way to effectively growing a new
bodyone that mends rapidly, ages gracefully, and keeps you connected to
Spirit, to the earth, and to a renewed sense of purpose in your life.

Glossary
ALA, alpha-lipoic acid, is found in every cell in the body and plays an important role in detoxification. ALA can cross
the blood-brain barrier, so it helps release toxins from the brain. In a process known as chelation, ALA binds to heavy
metals so they can be excreted through the liver, kidneys and skin. ALA also supports the livers ability to eliminate
toxins during detoxification.

ATP is adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the bodys currency: the cells spend what they need and deposit the rest in
the bank, the liver, where it is stored until needed to power various body functions. To produce ATP, mitochondria
combust oxygen, in much the way your automobile engine burns oxygen to release the energy in gasoline, though in a
far less explosive fashion. As we inhale oxygen, it is transported through the bloodstream to the mitochondria in cells
throughout the body, where they convert energy from the food we eat into ATP.

Autophagy, Greek for self-eating, is the garbage collection service inside the cells, the process by which cellular waste
is broken down, and dead and damaged mitochondria are recycled to harvest proteins, the building blocks of new cells.

BDNF, brain-derived neurotropic factor, is a hormone that triggers the growth of new neurons and stem cells in the
brain, repairing crucial brain structures.

Clostrium difficile, or C-diff, is a debilitating form of colitis. It is linked to an imbalance in the gut caused by antibiotic
use.

Coconut oil, while not a nutritional supplement, is jet-fuel for the brain. It is a medium-chain triglyceride, which means
it goes through the intestinal wall without causing an insulin spike and enters the mitochondria inside cells. Take 2
tablespoons daily, 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 tablespoon mid-afternoon or at night before starting your 18-hour
fast. After your detox, you can add coconut oil to soup and tea.

Curcumin, the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, activates the genes that turn on powerful antioxidants in the
brain.

DHA-EPA, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, are omega-3 fatty acids important for brain health and
preventing Alzheimers. Theyre found in fish, nuts, seeds, and certain oils, but supplements are recommended.

DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 fatty acid that is extremely important for brain health; in fact, it makes up
40 percent of the brain. Breast milk is nearly 50 percent DHA. DHA works closely with another omega-3 fatty acid,
EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid. Both are found in fish, nuts, seeds, and certain oils. Since the body doesnt make
DHA-EPA, its recommended that you take 3 grams daily as fish oil or an algae derivative. The best DHA comes from
krill. Researchers have noted an 85 percent reduction in the risk for Alzheimers among people with high levels of DHA
in their diet. [1]

DMT, or dimethyltryptamine is a psychedelic compound that has been referred to as the spirit molecule. DMT is
chemically analogous to Serotonin which is also known as the feel good or happiness hormone.

The East direction of the Medicine Wheel is associated with the eagle and condor. This direction teaches that
everything that appears to be outside of our lives is actually inside. Owning our projections allows us to come into a
proper relationship with them and create the world of our dreams. The same is true of the back doors in our lives
which siphon our vital life force and prevent us from making our dreams reality.

GSTM1 gene is necessary for making glutathione, and nearly half the world is missing one or more of the genes
necessary to produce enough glutathione.

Gene expression refers to the process by which DNA is used to make proteins that perform essential functions in the
body.

Glutathione is an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory. And as a detoxifying agent, it serves as a sort of lint brush,
picking up toxins in the body and carrying them to the liver for processing. Glutathione boosts your immunity and
helps you build and maintain muscle.

HPA axis or the fight-or-flight system, consists of the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, pea-sized structures in the
brain, and the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys. When you sense danger, perceived or real, the brain launches
a distress response in the HPA axis, reducing the blood flow to your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that can see
possibilities.

IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) is a protein closely associated with insulin, and a growth factor we need when
we are young and are growing fingers and toes. But as adults, high levels of IGF-1 are associated with pathological
growth.

Illumination is a practice of shamanic energy healing used to remove imprints from the Luminous Energy Field.
Ketones are jet fuel for the brain. Consuming healthy fats like avocados, coconut oil, and olive oil fuels the brain in
the form of ketone bodieschemicals the liver makes from fatty acids when we have to burn fat instead of glucose.
Ketonogenic diet is one high in plant foods and healthy fats.

Luminous Energy Field (LEF) is an invisible matrix that informs the anatomy of the body. It contains a template
of how we live, how we age, and how we die. When there is no imprint for disease in the LEF, recovery from illness
happens at tremendous speed. By the same token, imprints for diseases can depress the immune system, and it can
take an extremely long time for us to regain our health during an illness. When we erase the negative imprint that
caused the onset of illness, the immune and repair system can rapidly eradicate the disease.

The Medicine Wheel is a teaching tool that originated with ancient indigenous people of the Americas, but is
integral to all earth-based spiritual traditions. These traditions honor the feminine principle, the Mother archetype,
and the relationship with Spirit. Though the practices associated with the medicine wheel vary among the different
indigenous groups of the Americas, I was taught by my teachers in the Amazon to begin in the South, then move
clockwise to the West, the North and the East.

MicroRNAs are single strands of plant genetic material which circulate through our bloodstream, switching genes
on and off. [2] These microscopic strands regulate our cholesterol levels and direct the destruction of invading
viruses and bacteria. MiRNAs are the ultimate social networkers, sending messages quickly to individual genes.
They have the power to switch on the genes that create health and to switch off the genes that create cancer, heart
disease, diabetes, and many of the other ailments of civilization.

Mitochondria are the power centers of your cells. Inherited only from the mother, they represent the feminine life
force. Not only are mitochondria the bodys fuel factories, metabolizing oxygen to produce the fuel for life, but they
are also the keepers of the bodys death clock, controlling the process of cell suicide, or programmed cell death,
known as apoptosis. When the death clock is running properly, old cells know exactly when they need to die to be
replaced by healthy new ones. But when the death clock is off, cells dont know they need to die, and the result is
cancer. Or they die off too quickly, and the result is accelerated aging.

The North direction of the Medicine Wheel is associated with the hummingbird, and the gift of the North is
insight. Just as a hummingbird makes the seemingly impossible migration from Canada all the way to Brazil, we
too can embark on the epic mythic journey when Spirit calls. Although we dont know where were going or how
well get there, we learn how to follow the souls guidance to the sweetest nectar to sustain us on our way. The Way
of the Hummingbird teaches the shamans practice of Invisibility and how to step outside of linear time and into
sacred time in the infinite. There, we can heal the past and chart new destinies to become self-referencing and
assume the role of author of our own story, to burn all of our limiting roles.

Pterostilbene, found in blueberries and grapes, has been shown to lower cholesterol and glucose, and reduce blood
pressure. Working together, Pterostilbene and trans-resveratrol prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other
illnesses. Trans-resveratrol works upstream, regulating the genes that activate apoptosisprogrammed cell death,
or cell suicidewhile pterostilbene works downstream, turning off the genes that allow cancer cells to grow and
proliferate.

The South direction of the Medicine Wheel. The South is considered the domain of the serpent: in indigenous
cosmology, the Milky Way is the Sky Serpent. In all cultures the serpent archetype represents sexuality and the life
force. Eastern traditions associate the serpent with kundalini, a vital force often depicted as a snake coiled at the
base of the spine. The serpent represents the instincts and literal thinking: everything is just as we see it, without
nuance or ambiguity, summed up in the expression, It is what it is. In this mode, feeling and emotion are not
involved. Like the cold-blooded serpent, we act unsentimentally.

S-Acetyl Glutathione is the first truly bioavailable form of glutathione, which scavenges free radicals. It protects
DNA from damage and is crucial for energy metabolism and optimal mitochondrial function. [3] It also supports
detoxification of the liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. [4] Take 1 gram daily for one week.

SOD, or superoxide dismutase, is the ultimate antioxidant, an enzyme that neutralizes free radicals in a ratio
of over a million to oneone molecule of SOD kills one million free radicals. You can upgrade your bodys
ability to manufacture SOD by taking supplements of trans-resveratrol and turmeric. You can also boost SOD by
adding pterostilbene-rich foods to your dieteating more blueberries and grapes, for exampleor by taking a
pterostilbene supplement.

Turmeric, a spice identified as a superfood, increases levels of SOD, or superoxide dismutase, and glutathione
two antioxidants important to brain functioning that are described in detail in Chapter 6, Resetting the Death.
Clock. The dosage is 1 gram a day of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric.

Trans-Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, red grape skins, and certain berries, turns on longevity
genes and triggers the production of antioxidants. Resveratrol also boosts SOD and glutathione, the brains super
antioxidants.

Vitamin C is essential for detoxification processes. Take 2,000 milligrams (mg).

Vitamin B12 is essential for liver detoxification and for repairing the myelin sheath around neurons. It is also
needed for preserving the integrity of DNA for cell reproduction and for production of neurotransmitters.
Most Americans are B12 deficient. Take sublingual methylcobalamin B12a more concentrated form2,000
micrograms (mcg) a day.

Vitamin D3 is the form of vitamin D that the body manufactures when its exposed to sunlight. But even if you
spend a great deal time outdoors, its unlikely youre getting enough vitamin D3. Fish and fish liver oils are almost
the only dietary sources of vitamin D, although egg yolks, beef liver, fortified milk, and cheese contain small
amounts.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to seasonal depression, diabetes, dementia, and autoimmune disorders.
Individuals who take 600 international units (IU) or more of vitamin D3 show 50 percent less dementia and
Alzheimers than control groups. [5]

The West direction of the Medicine Wheel. The West direction is associated to the jaguar and where one explores
inherited ancestral and karmic patterns that propel you toward a certain destiny. The promise of the West direction
is to feel at home and safe regardless of any danger that surrounds us, and to live free of chronic disease. Doing the
work of the jaguar, we discover that life provides everything we need. Jaguar imparts the confidence to step out and
boldly explore, sure that were headed where we need to go and that were moving in synch with our lifes purpose.
