Just want to clear some things up here. Micheal vargas is a close friend of mine and has ZERO ill intent. His main purpose as a human is to heal people and help people, and he'll tell you that too. He doesn't charge for his medicine, so it's not for the money. His medicine is real, as I have seen and experienced it first hand, as well as being doctored and helped by his medicine, which has transformed my life. He has the documentation to prove that he is qualified to host the sundance and practice Lakota medicine. I have seen it. He was given this permission because he holds the medicine, and no matter what color you are, medicine can help people. And the core value of medicine does not lie in race, it lies in peace and harmony and restoration of the people. Michael realizes that medicine is for everyone, which is why he opens up the ceremonies for people of all shapes,, colors,, and sizes.. medicine isn't choosing,, it's healing.. healing is something that all people deserve if they seek it.The person who gave him permission to practice, recognizes this as well, which is why Michael is a chief: a title given to him, not one he assigned to himself. Please recognize that Michael is in the position to be attacked by people who want the opposite affect of healing. People will always attack the good and try to make drama out of it. Know that with Varags, there is no drama. And if you meet him, you will know this first hand, yourself. Nobody can buy medicine that can do as much good as Michael has done for his people. He has authentic medicine, and it is recognized by the highest chiefs. I hope this clears some things up. If anyone is curious about Michael, I suggest to come to the ceremonies yourself and see who he is first hand. That is the only way you will know the healing, love, and true medicine that takes place in his presence. I say this with love and peace. Please take the time to know and understand someone before smearing them. Projecting hurts yourself and other people. Choose love.
