Synopsis
Seven years ago, Nick Polizzi did something unimaginable. He assembled a group of eight desperately ill patients from around the world and brought them into the heart of the Amazon rainforest to put the mysterious medicines of native shamans to the test.
The healing journey that unfolded would change their lives forever . . .
In The Sacred Science, we are taken into Polizzi's psyche as he explores these primordial traditions and learns firsthand what it takes to truly heal ourselves of physical disease, emotional trauma, and the sense of "lostness" that so many of us feel in these modern times.
Nick is not a guru or shaman; he is an ordinary guy who pieced together an illuminating journey, one experience at a time. In this riveting true story, we're shown the many layers that must be peeled away in order for us to find the truth of who we are and why we're here.
This book is a bridge between the flashy, fast-moving modern world and the forgotten ways of a healthier, earth-connected ancestral past. This path is a Pandora's box. Once you know of these ways, you will never be able to unknow them.
In the end, will the exotic jungle medicines and harrowing rites of passage destroy these individuals or give them a new lease on life?
Five will return with remarkable healing results. Two will return disappointed. One won't return at all.
