who know how to live sustainably
When American Indians figured out that Buffalo instinct is to gather around a dead buffalo, they immediately exploited that knowledge with a hunting technique that would drop one animal and surround the entire herd once they gathered around the dead one. They then proceeded to wipe out the ENTIRE HERD in order to take a dozen.
Eventually, when all the local buffalo were gone, they just packed up and moved to a new area to start again.
Get real. The only reason any jungle people live sustainably is because they don't have a choice. They're currently ignorant and haven't figured out how to kill more animals more quickly. Give them time to learn how and it will end the sustainably part.

My ancestors were jungle people? Whom are you referring to here?

Well, can you back any of that up? I've never heard anything of the sort, and the whole notion of calling a group of people 'ignorant' seems pretty scientifically problematic. I wouldn't expect this out of any legitimate scientific outlet.
Can you provide any evidence this view even exists amongst the scientific community?

Much of your post, as Diploid expands on, seems to be based on bullshit. Can you provide any evidence that this is correct?
I'm not aware of many drugs that have a rainforest/jungle origin. Very few, in fact.
I imagine you've heard the popular claim that many unknown drugs are to be found in the rainforest and have somehow concluded that means the drugs used by 'us' are derived therefrom. Am I wrong? It really seems like your just making up things as you go along, because I can't imagine that you can establish even a signifigant fraction of our drugs are from the rainforest.

Honestly, your post is like reading some new age webpage. Can you back any of this stuff up?

Well.... People get murdered all across the world every day and majority of our western society belittle it and find it amusing, so what makes this any diffrent? Every person on this earth is our spiritual brothers and sisters... Not just the shamans...

so what makes this any diffrent?
The fact that the dead shamans claimed supernatural protection against these things but clearly didn't have it. Neener neener!
Now if their beliefs were wrong about this, what else might they be wrong about?

Their humanity is not in question. Their belief system is.
The "power of protection" can only get u so far...
They beloved they were supernaturally protected from exactly what killed them. Therefore, their belief system is suspect, as is the belief system of anyone who claims shamans are anything other than delusional.

What I don't get is that
A. We are all one.
B. All humans are deserving of compassion and are equal in the eyes of The Lord.
But few shed a tear when 13 drug cartel members are brutally slain by the US Marines, yet some bloody squabble amongst shamans is cause for mourning and hand-wringing.
Should I also be bereft if a plane-load of Amercian psychic readers containing Sylvia Brown, Van Praague, Dubois and Edward went down in a fiery ball?

For those not in the know, Peruvian shamans trying to get a piece of the ayahuasca tourist trade $$$ will disrespect other shamans to potential customers as well as attempt to put black magic spells on them. Doesn't sound much different than large corporation tactics against competitors.

No black magic spell can make McDonalds taste better than Burger King though.

What does that have to do with anything?
In case you missed it, several of your claims were questioned: that most of the drugs we know of come from the rainforest/jungle, that scientists call various cultures "ignorant" and otherwise denigrate them as you claimed, and that there has been an "increase in cancer" since the industrial revolution.
You claimed these things were true to make your point. Were they? Is there any reason we should believe them?
