Hey everybody! Episode 22 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Américo Lopez Sanchez. Américo and I met working together at the Amazonian plant-medicine center The Temple of the Way of Light where he worked as a curandero or doctor. Américo is a great doctor who has a real gift and a desire to share his knowledge. He is always trying to grow himself and become a better doctor and person. He works a lot with youth trying to pass on his knowledge of plants and Shipibo culture. I have a lot of respect for Américo and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode. And a big thank you to my friend Carolina for translating and opening up the conversation to a much larger audience. Thank you!

“Américo Lopez Sanchez shipibo name is Pekon Nima, which means “the many colors of nature.”

Américo carried these formative early experiences with him and was inspired by his father, Jose Lopez, and his work as a prominent healer. He decided to follow in his footsteps to become a healer in his own right, to help those who were suffering, misplaced, or otherwise seeking healing.

Américo loves being of service and is aware of the importance of traditional plant treatment, especially in communities where people find it challenging to access pharmaceutical medications.

Américo loves working with children and used to be a school teacher. He is deeply eloquent with a gift for storytelling. He tells us that in olden times, there was a direct line of healing from gestation with diets and song.”
