Welcome. My name is Erica M. Elliott, M.D., author of Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life Among the Navajo People. I’m so happy to have you as a visitor to my blog about my new book. This project is very special to me, and I hope to share some of that excitement with you here.
I’ll be using this blog to interact with you about Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert, expanding on some of the topics in it and blogging on some of the ideas related to my book. This is a great place for you to get to know me, and I’m looking forward to getting to know you, too. What did you think of Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert? What questions do you have for me? How do you relate to my book?
I’ll be returning here frequently with new posts and responses to feedback from you. Until next time, tell me a little bit about yourself.

Look what appeared on Facebook! My Navajo friends found my book!! Deswood on the left is the late Marshall Tom’s son. Al Henderson, on the right, was a close friend from my days on the reservation.

June 18, 2019 at 5:40 pmJust ordered the book having seen Joan Borysenko’s recommendation. I am intrigued and a keen advocate of melding modern Western Medicine with ancient wisdom for healing too. There is so much that has been buried by our colonialism. Now is the time to resurrect and honour it.
I went through breast cancer treatment and used both allopathic and Chinese medicine (apparently to great effect, fingers crossed). But my experience was torrid and I have written a one-woman play about it in order to shed light on how things could be different and to hopefully promote discussion and change.
So for this reason I am so very grateful that you have written your book and are sharing this wisdom. We will all become better in habitants of Mother Earth because of it. Can’t wait to start reading!
