The Hazards of Immunization

Wilson’s book won’t interest the general reader.

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.

This is a powerful—yet relatively brief—polemic against the medical model.

Krebs ein Fett Problem

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um ein weiteres Kochbuch von Dr. Johanna Budwig: z.B. Müsli als Rohkostsuppen, Salate aus Wildkräutern, besondere Getränke für Kranke und Gesunde. Brigitte Herold schreibt in ihrer Rezension zu Krebs – ein Fettproblem. Richtige Wahl und Verwendung der Fette, dass die großen Erkenntnisse von Frau Dr. Johanna Budwig ein Schattendasein führten. 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.

Die elementare Funktion der Atmung in ihrer Beziehung zu autoxydablen Nahrungsstoffen

Das Fettsyndrom

Dr. Johanna Budwig war überzeugt, dass Krebs durch eine “Störung des Fettstoffwechsels der menschlichen Körperzellen” bedingt sei und durch eine bestimmte Diät, nämlich ihre Öl-Eiweiß-Kost, heilbar sei. 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.

Das vorliegende Buch erbringt hier fr den wissenschaftlichen Beweis.

Nourishing Traditions

In de reeks van de werken van Weston A. Price, roept Nourishing Traditions veganisten en vegetariers op om een bepaalde mate van dierlijk voedsel – zoals ook goede biologische melk en eieren – te beschouwen als essentieel voor het menselijke leven. We kunnen dit niet kunstmatig vervangen, maar moeten ook streven naar biologisch voedsel van goede vruchtbare mineraalrijke bodem, en dit op de juiste manier bereiden. Men kan uit dit boek leren om betere voedselkeuzes te maken.

Albrecht’s final and most thorough statement summarizing his research on maximizing nutritional quality by adjusting soil mineral nutrient ratios and quantities. Contains many well-rendered illustrations, maps, charts and tables.

Pattern Of Caries in Relation to the Pattern of Soil Fertility in the United States

“By means of this broader pattern (of soil fertility in the US) we would probably arrive at the suspicion, at least, that much that is now called “disease” should more properly be called deficiencies in nutrition because of low soil fertility.”

Thoughts On Feeding

A study of proper and improper human nutrition and of the various forms of disease consequent from mal-nutrition. Considers wheat bread and of the diseases caused by denaturing it to make white flour.

The National Malnutrition

Dr. Quigley offers a complete, nutritionally-caused system of healing and explanation of disease causation. A very simple, yet powerful and still valid statement.

Modern Miracle Men

Dr. Charles Northen demonstrated that countless human ills stem from the fact that the impoverished soil of America no longer provides plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and health! To overcome this alarming condition, he doctors sick soil and, by seeming miracles, raises truly healthy and health-giving fruits and vegetables.

Kingston Chronicles

Also known as “Rude Health.” Published by the Thomson Clinic. We have issues from 1967 through 1978.

Hygienic Dictionary

The essential terms and distinctions used by by the major figures natural hygiene/nature cure, defined in their own words. Compiled by Steve Solomon during the late 1990s, the first years of this library.

Agriculture of Tomorrow

A Steinerian / biodynamic viewpoint on the way agriculture should evolve.

Does a soil acidity test as used in soil testing laboratories determine our calcium need in Ohio soil?

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

Observations 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.

Ellen White Copied Coles

Ehret Bibliography

The Immerman Files

Dr. Alan Immerman collected every available scrap of published scientific evidence issued between 1880 and 1980 that supported Natural Hygiene/Nature Cure. This material (a seven foot tall stack of photocopies) was then scanned by Dr. Immerman. All these articles are available for free download, organized by topic.

Parkinson’s Recovery Project

Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock runs the Parkinson’s Recovery Project. She has developed a method that allows people who have not yet started on conventional Parkinson’s medications to recover from this disease.

Nature Doctors: Pioneers in Naturopathic Medicine

A thorough and scholarly historical survey of the development of naturopathic and nature cure practices from the 19th through the 20th century. A study of the individuals who made it happen. For many years Kirchfeld was librarian at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Health Unlimited

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

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

This 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

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.

The Limits of the Earth

World survey of the planet’s potential to support an ever-increasing population. Not particularly encouraging.

Dirty Medicine

The Emperor Wears No Clothes (Part 2)

Millions of people have done serious jail time because this long used medicine was made illegal in 1937. Jack Herer tells how the prohibition came to be, who actually pushed this law into existence and why they really did so. Also there much about the historical use of cannabis as medicine and of hemp for fibre.

Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King

Humans 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

You 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

In the mid-1990s an Australian supplement was included in an Australian edition of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. It tells the hidden story of how early settlers in Australia grew much hemp and were encouraged to do so. It also documents the American-inspired social engineering campaign that brought about the Australian prohibition of cannabis use in the late 1930s.

The Quality Of Life: The Peckham Approach To Human Ethology

The author created an extraordinarily successful community health centre in working-class London where the focus was on nutrition and raising healthy happy children. For example, a supply of raw, unpasteurized milk and organically grown vegetables was organized.

We Want To Live

Vonderplanitz was a key figure in the raw food/paleo diet. His powerful book recommends eating raw meat and fish, unheated honey, etc.

Jones, Dr. Christine, Publications

Dr. Jones explains how the main creators of humus are specialized fungi that plants feed sugars and other complexed nutrients. These fungi, in turn, help feed plants both nutrients and moisture.

How To Be Always Well

Dr. Jackson’s book explains the basics of natural hygiene/nature cure and makes recommendations for lifestyle and diet that lead to permanent health and a high degree of well-being. This book is especially useful for the type of person that makes life choices and determines their behaviour according to well-grasped basic principles.

Healthy Childhood

This 78 page booklet gives straightforward, easy-to-understand answers to questions surrounding colon health. It explains how the condition of the colon strongly influences the health of the entire body. The book provides self-administered techniques to regain colon health without enemas or colonics.

The Therapeutics of Fasting – text only

The text only version of The Therapeutics of Fasting.

The Modern Rise of Population

World 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.

Soil Fertility

What every soil analyst needs to know; a university-level textbook.

Prairie Plants and Their Environment

This book is the product of a lifetime of ecological research “to clarify some of the many problems presented by this vast natural unit of vegetation, to better understand the importance and significance of grassland and its utilization, and to furnish a permanent record of a rapidly vanishing vegetation.”

Humus

The basic text on the topic for decades; a summary of everything known in the mid 1930s.

Food & Health in the Scottish Highlands: Four Lectures from a Rural Practice

Dr Walter Yellowlees discusses disease in terms of the work of McCarrison, Cleave, Weston Price, Albert Howard and the organic growing movement. What he finds is “the result of a long chain of events determined by man’s relationship to his land and its crops.

FARMERS OF FORTY CENTURIES: or, permanent agriculture in China, Korea and Japan

One of the best travel books of all time. King’s remarkable account of his agricultural investigations in China, Korea and Japan in 1909 was an often-quoted source of inspiration for Howard in his 26 years as an agricultural investigator in India.

Principles of Soil Microbiology

Waksman’s massive work of scholarship was refused by many publishers who thought there was no market for such a book, but it became a best-seller and dominated the field for decades.

The Soil and the Microbe

An Introduction to the Study of the Microscopic Population of the Soil and Its Role in Soil Processes and Plant Growth. A thorough overview of the topic.

Human Vitamin and Mineral Requirements: FAO/WHO expert consultation on human vitamin and mineral requirements

The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations organized an Expert Group Consultation in Bangkok in September 1998. This report is the official statement of how much and what kind of vitamin nutrition is required for health.

Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health

Dependence 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. Illich is an extreme libertarian who refuses to be suppressed and sees most of modern society as an effort to suppress the humanity of those in its grip.

Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas

This 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 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.

Port Arthur: Enough Is Enough

By laying responsibility on Martyn Bryant for the Port Arthur massacre, Australians were severely restricted from owning firearms. The truth is: Martyn Bryant was an innocent victim like so many other mind-controlled slaves who have been used to suppress liberty. Here is the proof.

Remineralisering je bodem zoals die van Hunzaland

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

The Compost Manufacturer’s Manual

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. 

The City with Golden Garbage

Another rare and obscure article on Pfeiffer regarding his bacterial cultures to compost Oakland’s garbage (probably simple food wastes and paper wastes in the late 40s and early 50s) – talked about in legendary terms but out of reach.
