[MPWG] Want to study the medicinal plants of the Amazon rainforest?

[Nathaniel Putnam]

UMass Amherst is planning a field practicum course to Peru in January  
called the Shaman's Pharmacy. This is an unique opportunity for  
students to study and learn from shaman medicine men in virgin  
rainforest and learn about how they use this extraordinary ecosystem  
to heal everything from snake bites to diabetes. Applicants must be  
currently enrolled in a two or four year college or university. If you  
are interested, see the two links below.
