It is with great excitement that we announce the r It is with great excitement that we announce the release of the new book, How to Treat Immune System Illnesses Naturally by Chicham Chiriap (@keensurvivalist)! In this remarkable work, the author takes you on a transformative journey, sharing profound insights from the spiritual world of the Shuar, the indigenous people of the Amazon, along with their own personal experiences.⁠ ⁠ Having been initiated into the ancient wisdom of the Shuar from childhood, Chicham received teachings from esteemed Shuar Shamans, including their father, uncle, and other wise mentors residing deep within Ecuador's Amazon jungle. These teachings sparked a passion for exploring natural healing methods, particularly the power of the jungle's medicines and age-old techniques.⁠ ⁠ In 2014, a significant turning point occurred in the author's life when their partner, Julie, received a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)—a condition that was previously unfamiliar to them. Motivated by a deep-rooted desire to assist Julie on her natural healing journey, the author embarked on a transformative path, intertwining the profound wisdom of the jungle with ancestral knowledge.⁠ ⁠ Every aspect of this book has been meticulously crafted to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of how immune system problems impact their lives. The author's intention is to expand the message of healing the human body and spirit in a natural way, fostering a deeper connection to our natural world and standing as guardians of the jungle, the lungs of the Earth. ⁠ ⁠ Through the pages of this book, the author invites readers to delve into the teachings, discovering the innate power and intelligence of their bodies, minds, and the natural world. The journey is filled with profound insights, practical guidance, and an invitation to embrace a holistic approach to well-being.⁠ ⁠ 🙌 Share your thoughts and experiences as you dive into this book. We are excited to hear about the transformations and connections you discover along the way. Together, we can heal, grow, and defend the invaluable treasures of the jungle and our own well-being. 🌿💚 Click the link in bio to purchase ebook!⁠
