The Question of V.D.
Thomson, James C.The treatment of syphilis had long been a most lucrative money maker for the medical profession. But there may have been no such disease. In fact, the destructive symptoms of so-called tertiary syphilis are merely the poisoning of medical drugging.

Sie habe mit ihrer Öl-Eiweiß-Kost ein wahres Stoffwechsel-Wunder entwickelt. Bis heute blieben ihre Erkenntnisse leider nur einer Minderheit zugänglich, ihre Bücher seien heute zum Großteil nicht mehr erhältlich. Daß Fettsäuren der eigentliche Lichtträger und Lichtspeicher im Organismus seien, werde nun von anderen Seiten der Wissenschft bestätigt (F. A. Popp). Auch neue Erkenntnisse der Diabetes- und Allergie-Forschung gäben ihr immer wieder recht.

Sie erzielte bei ihren Patienten Erfolgsraten bis 90%. In diesem Werk wird detailliert beschrieben, wo im Körper überall gute Fette die Gesundheit erhalten und gehärtete, unnatürliche Fette – insbesondere Transfettsäuren – zu chronischen Erkrankungen und schlimmstenfalls zu Krebs führen.

With the exception of a handful of references to publications that deal with the general relationship of soil qualities and crop composition, each document cited contains at least some information about nutrients found in food as related to organic production. Most items deal with research results; several are overviews of literature or research, or are opinion pieces. Many compare organic foods with those conventionally produced.

Does a soil acidity test as used in soil testing laboratories determine our calcium need in Ohio soil?
Tiedjens, Victor A.Many soils in the United States and Canada show a paucity of available calcium even though the pH reading seems satisfactory. A high pH does not necessarily indicate adequate calcium in the soil.
Available calcium a factor in salt balance for vegetable crops
Tiedjens, Victor A. and L.G. SchermerhornObservations made on vegetable farms in New Jersey located on sandy soils, show that pH is not always a reliable indicator of the available calcium and that many of those sandy soils which have pH values of 6.0 to 6.6, where large applications of soda and potash have been made, may be very deficient in calcium and magnesium.

Health Unlimited
Immerman, Alan M., D.C.A very easy to understand summary and restatement of the basic hygienic viewpoint that would serve as an excellent introduction and guide to someone with insufficient time to study the fundamental books of the Founders (Tilden, Shelton, etc.) from which this book is drawn. It is vegetarian in outlook and disapproves of colon cleansing. Used by a chriopractic college in the United States as a basic text of diet and nutrition.
World Without Cancer
Griffin, Edward G.Cancer is a nutritional deficiency disease that is far more readily curable with vitamins and other natural remedies than with AMA-approved conventional approaches. Natural therapies are strongly suppressed by powerful interests profiting from the cancer business.
9/11: The Ultimate Truth
Jadczyk, Laura and Quinn, JoeThis book is about the nature of evil and why psychopathic personalities almost inevitably take control of bureaucracies and governments. Much of this book is “way out there.” Jadczyk’s statements about Jews may likely be seen as anti-semitic by those who are touchy about the subject, so be warned if that is yourself.
High Frontier
O'Neill, Gerald K.There is enough construction material floating around the solar system to build habitats providing 3,000 times the surface area of Earth. These habitats would enjoy unlimited virtually free energy. They could provide Earth with the same (unlimited free energy) by beaming down microwaves generated from solar power. If we had but begun this effort when O’Neill pointed the way, the mass migration of population off our planet could have already started.

Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King
Stewart, Daniel BlairHumans have long used myth to explain reality. Amongst other mysteries, this work of “fiction” explains the origins of our species and the reason evil predominates on this planet. If nothing else, it’s a mighty good read.
Why The Best-Laid Investment Plans Usually Go Wrong
Browne, HarryYou might think an investment guide written in 1987 couldn’t be relevant to the current scene. Not so. The first 200 pages examines and demolishes all the usual investment strategies/sales pitches because these usually result in loss. Then Browne introduces the idea of a “permanent portfolio,” a mixture of very low overhead investments whose inevitable ups and downs balance each other resulting in moderate profit with great stability.
Hemp & The Marijuana Conspiracy in Australia
Herer, Jack, Jiggens, JohnIn the mid-1990s an Australian supplement was included in an Australian edition of The Emperor Wears No Clothes.

It also documents the American-inspired social engineering campaign that brought about the Australian prohibition of cannabis use in the late 1930s.

The Modern Rise of Population
McKeown, ThomasWorld population reached 1 billion in 1830, 2 billion a century later, and today exceeds 7 billion. AMA propaganda suggests modern medicine is the cause. McKeown says: “The fall in mortality was not influenced substantially by immunization or therapy before 1935.” The increase depended upon better sanitation and an increased and improved food supply.

Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health
Illich, IvanDependence on AMA-style medicine creates ill health on many levels. Many of the most expensive procedures have little or no proven health benefit or at best add but a few tortured years.

Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas
Orgiazzi, A., and many othersThis fully illustrated publication details what we presently know about life the soil and the complex ecosystem within which life is sustained. Of course, and here is the rub, when the soil is described as being a very complex living ecosystem, the information flies in the face of Industrial Agriculture. Modern farmers, with the help of their agents, have all but declared war on soil life by the use of petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The Engineering of Consent
Bernays, Edward L., ed.Bernays and his fellow contributors describe the science of manipulating of public opinion with Freud’s concept of “unconscious desires,” cynically appealing to emotion and deeply held ideals rather than convincing with facts. His insights now provide the basis of almost the entire modern media and advertising industry, and by extension, politics and business.

Solomon, Steve met Erica Reinheimer. Copyright Nederlandse vertaling Rob Hundscheidt.De Intelligente Tuinier. Hoe Men Voedingsstoffenrijk Voedsel Laat Groeien Hoe Men Voedingsstoffenrijk Voedsel Laat Groeien. Deze omvangrijke maar samenvattende handleiding begint met een overzicht van de voedingsstoffendichtheid van de bodem, waarna de geschiedenis van de biologische agricultuur, en daarna volgt een begrijpelijke fundamentele inleiding in de bodemchemie, en demonstreert zo hoe de thuis-tuinier de resultaten van een eenvoudige niet-dure bodemtest kan gebruiken voor een voor eigen bodem individueel aangemeten voedingstoffenvoorschrift. De auteur bespreekt stap voor stap de essentiële mineralen terwijl hij tegelijkertijd de verkeerd ontstane misleidende informatie van zowel de conventionele als ook de biologische landbouw bewegingen recht zet.

The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide and Brainwashing
Joost A.M. MerlooThe Compost Manufacturer’s Manual
Pfeiffer, Ehrenfried E.Fifty years before the soil foodweb became in the 1990s, Pfeiffer was using microscopes, preparing microbial inoculants, making superior quality composts, teaching farmers how to employ biological farming practices to improve soil organic matter, soil structure, and soil fertility – which in modern times is known as “soil health” — and conducting cutting edge research on soil fertility, soil biology, soil humus, and food quality.
