Foods, Herbs and Natural Remedies
Khalsa, Dharma Singh, Food as Medicine : How to use
Diet, Vitamins, Juices, and Herbs for a Healthier, Happier and Longer Life, New York ; Atria Books, 2003
This is an extremely useful book, doing exactly what the title states.
He describes 7 principles, including the importance of eating organic, detoxification, and which foods are particularly helpful
for this, elimination of genetically-modified foods. He also gives pages and pages of recipes - although I don't personally
agree with his recommendation to add Bragg's Liquid Aminos to so many of these!
Vogel, Marijke, The Earth on Which we Live : The Air
that we Breathe and the Hidden Causes of Illness, London : Vogel and Vogel, 2001
This is a book on seeking health through naturopathic means, especially
the use of green clay for cleansing and healing.

with a wealth of experience.
Meyerowitz, Steve, Wheatgrass : Nature's Finest Medicine
: the Complete Guide to using Grasses to Revitalise your Health, USA : Sproutman's Publications, 1983
Wheatgrass juice provides the most concentrated source, weight for weight,
of nutrients. The green plant fibre contains enormous amounts of chlorophyll, which helps the blood to renew itself. If you
can heal the blood, everything else will follow. Anyone who has tried wheatgrass will know that it is not the easiest thing
to take, having an intensely sweet bitterness. This book goes into the history of its use, its content, how to grow it, and
everything else.

rights. It is a potent herb. This book shows how to use it wisely.

This book has been recommended to me but I have not yet seen it myself,
so apologies for the incomplete reference info.
Hall, Alan, Water, Electricity and Health : protecting
yourself from electrostress at home and work, Stroud, UK : Hawthorn Press, 1997
This book contains a clear explanation of the connection between electricity,
magnetism, water, and health. It includes a description of water as a carrier of information, and microstructural patterns
which transmit information. It also discusses how to create protective fields. Highly recommended.

of radiation and electricity, with modern ways of harnessing them for our benefit, eg. Vegatest, Bioresonance, Electro-Acupuncture,
and individuals whose work has made a special contribution to our understanding.
Levitt, B. Blake, Electromagnetic Fields : A Consumer's
guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves, USA : Harcourt Brace, 1995
Similar to Coghill's work, but by an American writer, and perhaps more
readable. Includes advice for protecting ourselves.
Coghill, Roger W., Something in the Air : The Hazards
of Electromagnetic technologies, the benefits of magneto therapy and electro medicine, and the impact on and use by the natural
world of the subtle energies now permeating our planet, Great Britain, Coghill Research Labs, 1997
This is a very comprehensive book, written by perhaps the UK's most respected
researcher into pollution caused by electromagnetism. It gives an accurate yet layperson-friendly description of radiation,
and considers research demonstrating its insidious effects upon the human immune system. This includes considerations of radio,
power lines, sick buildings, computer use, AIDS, radar, as well as health-giving uses of radiation.

much practical help on stimulating the lymph to cleanse effectively.

Kingdoms of Nature, Canada, Pacific Essences, 1993
This is about a range of flower/sea essences which are really quite profound
in their capacity to generate healing. It correlates the chakras, and meridians, with each remedy.

the Alaskan Essences, Canada : Alaskan Flower Essence Project, 1996
Very similar to Sabina Pettit's book, only covers the better-known range
of Alaskan and Environmental essences.
Gurudas, Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing,
California : Cassandra Press, 1983
This is one of the earliest works that came out after Dr Bach's well-known
and pioneering work. It covers the history of flower remedies, how they work, how to make and store them, the relationship
between flower, gem and homeopathic remedies, and herbs. Coverage of the remedies themselves is divided into those that primarily
affect the physical body, and those that affect ethereal and psychological states. It is a classic but may not be easy to

Each finger tip contains the end of a meridian, as well as many nerve-endings.
Linking the fingertips in certain ways can re-balance the meridians. I use these mudras on an ongoing basis and find them
very powerful. They are particularly useful for anyone who is too ill to exercise the whole body. Used at the same time as
meditation, or
Saraswati, Swami Satyananda, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra,
Bandha, India : Yoga Publications Trust, 1996
A textbook on Yoga from the original lineage of India. Yoga in the western
world does not necessarily fulfill its profound potential. In fact, Yoga is a comprehensive system for healing the body-mind-soul
complex, and re-integrating this into the matrix of the universal source. This book is straightforward, direct, free of gloss,
yet as sound as you can get!
