Indigenous Afrikan Perspectives on Health- part 3

Dr Kokayi is once again joined by Dr Malidoma Some as part of the fundraising activity of WBAI. Dr Some once more, in his authentic voice, describes the indigenous world view as it relates to a different perspective on health care and healing. Dr Some’s description of African cosmology reveals how people were taken care of in the context of a set of beliefs and practices that both sustained them and their environment. The premium offered is Dr Some’s The Healing Wisdom of Africa. The indigenous perspective is so important at present as Americans as a whole begin to grapple with the reality of how our lifestyle is impacting on the environment and the inevitable changes that are taking place. As we prepare to adapt and adjust to a “new” earth we must consider the wisdom of those that have come before us.
