Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: For many individuals living with a chronic illness in the United States, the journey towards achieving health is often mutually exclusive from the path toward experiencing physical and spiritual healing. In this manuscript, I will relate a critical incident that has shaped my passion for investigating non-biomedical forms of healthcare. This passion led me to take a two-week ethnography course in Mexico City to examine the juxtaposition of science and spirituality in the Mexican context. This research was conducted during this class and illustrates how the separation of science and spirituality often precludes the experience of achieving both health and healing for chronically ill individuals. In addition, this manuscript represents a professional borderland, as I shed my quantitative background in my first attempt to conduct ethnographic research on health. This is the initial stage of a project intended to integrate both quantitative and qualitative perspectives on non-biomedical forms of health and healing in Mexico.
