Medicine in the Bolivian Andes | SLICE

Max is a well-known Kallawaya doctor. Today, he will teach his adoptive son Johnny the secrets of the Kallawaya medicine. Together, they travel on foot across the mountains, from village to village to heal those in need, thanks to the natural power of plants.

    Why do pple not want to live like this? What's wrong with having simple beliefs? Why do we need to know everything? One of the best. Pple need to learn this language so it's not lost.

    Keeping natural remedies secret keeps people in the big pharma shops. Why keep it secret ? Give the knowledge to those willing to learn instead of dying with all knowledge in you.

    If your basing your analysis from the kid talking. He was talking Spanish with a heavy Indigenous accent, using a lot of Quechua words here and there. Also, Quechua has a mostly fixed accent intonation. The accent being on the second to last syllable of a word. A bit similar to Italian.
