In addition to this spectacular collection of herbal remedies, Mr. Young includes a section focused primarily on various psychedelic plants and natural components used in part by indigenous societies for sacred ritualistic ceremonies. This written work of Mr. Young's thorough training as an indigenous healer, reflects with a knowledge based on his personal old world wisdom, and life experiences. Furthermore, to enhance the readers experience, this unique book is linked with a full color herbal website guide, created by the author for basic plant identification purposes to help the herbal practitioner or reader better understand each plant described. Since childhood, Don has had visions and dreams that could only be explained as supernatural insight. These powerful visions and dreams that began early in his mind would continue occurring on a regular basis to influence a lifelong path. These dreams and visions Don had so frequently, would draw the attention of family friend, Ben Standing Crow, an old Iroquois ''Haudenosaunee'' Shaman. After witnessing these powerful visions and dreams come true for himself, Ben Standing Crow would take Don as his pupil of the Haudenosaunee medicines. In 1972 after Don suffered several powerful life changing event's, Ben Standing Crow began his training. This intense combination of spiritual and herbal medicines lasted until Don graduated in 1990 as a 3rd tall staff Haudenosaunee shaman. However, Don did not stop learning about natural medicines at that point, but began learning from Andre Delianato Vargas, a South American curandero, who was a close friend of Ben Standing Crow. This further training of sacred herbal medicines and applications lasted 4 years, and earned Don the additional title of Verde Brujo healer, and was ordained as a curandero. Don's family, also contributed greatly to his spiritual and herbal understanding of natural and native medicines. Researched introduction by: Carol Lynn Young
