Elisa Fusi is an Italian molecular biologist, visionary herbalist and writer, with a research focus on human pathology, mycology, neuroscience and ecology.   With an ongoing investigation on folk medicine, ancestral rituals and indigenous cultures all over the world, Elisa has studied and lived with different indigenous groups in Madagascar and across Central and South America.  She later obtained a diploma in Mayan Medicine issued by the Mayan Medicine Institute of Guatemala.

After a near-death experience her quest for a more complete understanding of human consciousness became stronger.  She founded an environmental organization called You Are Home and later in 2012 she created Alquimia, an educational centre  promoting alternative teachings on herbalism, shamanism and alchemy in Costa Rica.

Elisa is also a PNEI (PsychoNeuroEndocrineImmunology) practitioner and Psycho-oncologist offering advice, resources, courses, and support to people with cancer and autoimmune disorders at her open clinic in Costa Rica.

In this episode, Elisa discusses the patterns of illness and the key insights from her extensive research and practice with chronic disease.  She discusses the ancestral approach to healing disease through altered states of consciousness and the initiations one can take to become an animistic healer.
