Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA
MAPS, along with the Vaults of Erowid, is a vital resource for the very real healing offered by psychedelics and shamanism. I was a life long sufferer of severe asthma and whole body eczema - my life is veritably defined by these disorders - and I have been healed with the help of ayahuasca and LSD. This may sound incredible to anyone bombarded by commercials for inhalers and hydrocortisone, but it is a fact that many of us have been healed by the careful and informed use of sacred plants. Thanks to MAPS and Erowid, information and research on psychedelics, this news will start to sound commonplace, and many more will be healed.
