The Role of Malpractice in the Health of an Individual

In among Native Americans and some and Siberian's there's a belief that someone who has the shamanic gift or power can become sick as a result. If such a person who is trained doesn't use their power to be of service and help the people then in Siberia and other places it is seen that then they pay a price for that. Malpractice leads to the loss of magical powers, lost ability to see and even insanity if practiced too badly.
