The present paper shows the case study of kallawaya doctors in La Paz city as reflecting the multicultural situation that Bolivian city is living with regard to health and other particular aspects of the culture. The Severino Vilas’s testimony, who is a kallawaya doctor, approaches us to the kallawaya patterns which affet the determinants on health and illness relevant in therapeutic solutions. The kallawaya medical categories do not coincide with those of occidental medicine, so different exclusiveness and complementariness options are rising in the healthy way carried out by native patients from La Paz city.
