I helped perform a trephination with our tribe’s head shaman, Anchanchu. The man we performed it on was experiencing terrible pain since he was a young man. I believe he may have been dropped as a child or possibly attacked. Whatever the cause, it has been a burden to him and he has decided to trust us with his cranium. There is a fifty percent chance he will die, but the pain is no longer tolerable. We started the operation by sterilizing the tools over a flame. We proceeded by using the…

A great example of this is Chinese traditional medicine and its belief that illnesses are caused by supernatural forces affecting the qi, to combat those forces treatment involves spiritual healing and the use of herbs. To some this may be considered a primitive practice but, it is widely used internationally in the modern world. The…

Changing seasons, especially summer into fall, is the ideal opportunity to use your food to increase your focus and energy (It's time to get back to school, right). By changing your food (and the way you live) to adjust to the season, you build energy, while boosting immunity and managing your weight. While I'm sure that sometimes you have tons of focus, I bet other times you find yourself staring into space, grumbling 'isn't it snack time yet' or begging for 'a cup of coffee'. Well, have no…

What is foot binding? Throughout the history, as we all know, women have tried many ways to make themselves more beautiful, attractive and desirable. They have tried to change their bodies to satisfy men, to be superior to the other women in terms of beauty and attractiveness. And, one of the ways for altering their body for the purpose of beauty was foot binding in Chinese history. I would like to give some definition of foot binding.

Question 1: Hinduism 1) The image shows a skull, becoming a baby, a boy, a teenager, a man, elderly, then a skull again and then it repeats into the distance. This depicts the Hindu belief of reincarnation because it is saying that after someone dies, they go through life again and start their new form after their death. The objects the boy stages, teen stages, and man stages are holding depict the different lessons you learn in life. The almost white line going through the bodies of all the…

Slaves were not treated as humans, but like property. Slaves were owned, traded, and sold. There were certain codes, laws, that the slaves had to follow. If the slaves misbehaved or attempted to escape to the north, they would be punished. Some punishments would lead to grotesque wounds and laceration. Either other slaves or family members would have to treat their wounds. The ways of treatment are much different than what the doctors today would treat similar wounds. The diverseness of codes,…

The oppression faced by the Burmese in Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant" and by the African natives in Lessing's "No Witchcraft for Sale" made them virtually defenseless to the whims of the whites with whom they lived. In "Shooting an Elephant", the persecuted Burmese sneered and mocked the British officers, including the narrator. This is because it is all they could do. If they tried to rebel to any greater extent, they would be severely punished, possibly even killed. As seen in the story, the…

They have been roaming the earth’s surfaces since as far back as the 17th century, but the stories were probably told even before then, too. These monsters aren’t just made-up from authors and storytellers, they are as real as we humans are. The history of vampires is still alive today and their archives of adventures keeps growing with newer, contemporary documentation. Descending from Europe, these nightwalkers hunt once the sun goes down, and light can no longer rule over them. The moon is…

How to use Revitol Skin Tag Removal Skin tags are a very common kind of growth of skin on face, neck, abdomen and chest. However, these small flaps of skin growth are not at all harmful or risky. You can ask what causes the skin tag. Frankly speaking, nobody knows what causes such unwanted growths, and I am quite sure that no one can exactly reply to this query. Anyway, skin tags are not naturally removed from the body. However, while naturally removing you might have to undergo a bit of painful…
