Started reading The Cosmic Serpent last night. Its about how people living in the Amazon gain information by taking Ayahuasca and how they and other cultures such as the ancient Egyptians "knew" about the double helix structure of DNA.
One interesting thing I read last night was that the active ingredient in Ayahuasca, DMT, is digested and neutralised in the stomach by an enzyme, so they boil it with another plant that stops that particular enzyme from working, allowing the DMT to get in to your blood stream.
Of the 80,000 or so plant species in the Amazon, they figured that out.
