In 2010, Nick Polizzi set out on an unusual and ambitious journey, bringing together eight people with serious illnesses and taking them into the Amazon rainforest to explore traditional healing practices. Guided by indigenous shamans, the group stepped far outside their normal lives, entering an environment where both the physical and emotional challenges were intense and unpredictable. The experience proved to be transformative, not only for the participants but for Polizzi himself.

In The Sacred Science, Polizzi recounts this journey as a search for deeper understanding of healing beyond modern approaches. The book reflects on illness, emotional struggle and a wider sense of disconnection, while drawing on ancient, nature-based wisdom. Rather than presenting answers, it offers a personal exploration of what it means to heal, showing both the potential benefits and the real risks. Of the eight participants, some return with notable improvements, others see little change, and one does not make it back, giving the story a powerful and sobering edge.
