Hi SoG,

I just came across this on an Indigenous site:

"The difficulty in many regions today is to find “doctors” who are “men of high degree,” who have not only learned the ritual and manipulative actions they should perform, but also have had the spiritual experience that gives them the strong or inner eye, the addition of magical “substances” to their “inside,” and the assistance of personal totems. The depth of their knowledge and the essence of their power lie in this experience. They have been through great fear and even “death” and can impart confidence to those who have similar trials."

Do you reckon those 'men of high degree' would believe in 'germ theory' ? or in the need to wash their hands before operating ?

Yep, these ideas are still around, in 2013.

Cheers,

Joe
