Protection

Chris looks at the extremes people will go to in order to protect themselves.In the Philippines that usually involves very sharp knives. The blood flows readily in a fishing village and in the jungle. Also in the Philippines, snipers from the Special Action Force test the powers of amulets, which are worn to protect the wearer. Amulets aren’t necessary for the Masters of the ancient Thai sword-fighting art Krabi Krabong, at which Chris tries his hand in a temple.At the foot of the Himalayas the local Nepalese villagers show him a dance to frighten animals away from their crops. The dance has its roots in stick-fighting techniques, which Chris re-introduces to the villagers.

Rituals

Chris finds out about some of the rituals people use to help improve their lives.Up country in the Philippines, Chris takes part in an exorcism to cleanse a haunted house. While under a full Moon in a Manila cemetery he takes part in a War Eskrimador Death Offensive ritual, which is meant to give increased power to a martial artist. He decides not to take part in a Thai ritual to protect villages from evil, because it involves climbing huge ladders made of razor sharp knives, but decides to leap feet first into the Fire-Walking ritual in the same place, with unexpected results...In India he learns the secrets behind an apparently miraculous dance that cured smallpox. And he meets the UK team harnessing common or garden herbs and plants to cure Alzheimers, cancer and head-aches.

Chris looks at the miraculous ways people maintain their health and heal the sick.In India he finds a novel cure for stomach ailments used in Hatha yoga which involves swallowing 10 metres of bandage. While in Hong Kong he tries the gall bladder of a live snake which is supposed to prolong life - though probably not for the snake.In Thailand he meets a monk who blows healing breaths across his injured wrist with surprising results, and a 74-year-old woman offers him magical breast milk to make him more charming.
