Folk Medicine: A New England Almanac of Natural Health Care from a Noted Vermont Country Doctor Paperback – 1 Jan. 1995

Still a very informative book.

A very practical book to have. Full of information about ordinary conditions, and worth reading even if you don't use any of the remedies suggested. I have yet to use any of the remedies, though I intend to soon. The ingredients are probably in most larders, so simple and inexpensive to try out.

A superb little book written by a caring health-care professional. Medicine today is about treating illness using ever more toxic concoctions, this was not the case with Dr Jarvis, he offered advice to keep his patients healthy, advice he acquired not from medical text books but from folk-medicine, from the wise women who went before him. Women looked after the health of their families, with good food, sown on nutrientionally rich soil, beneficial herbs and of course iodine, all that you required to stay healthy. What do we have today, food grown on nutrientionally depleted soil, full of pesticides and when we become ill our doctors are not interested in the cause of our illness, they just prescribe toxic chemicals that if we are lucky may alleviate our symptoms for a while, but these symptoms will return as the cause of our ill-health hasn't been addressed. Doctors become ever busier, patients sicker but the drug companies become ever richer.Take back your healthcare into your own hands, grow your own organic food if you can, even in pots on your windowsill, and if not this year aim for next year when your energy has returned. In order for your energy to return read about 'The Iodine Crisis' and include this essential trace element in your diet and start on your road to recovery.

Great to find a book I was sure would be out of print, recommended by a friend. Great price, arrived quickly, thank you.

A book every family should have AND READ. My original copy I have had since 1958, cost me 2shillings and six pence in old money, well spent and much used. - now brown at the edges. Am now half way through my eighties, still driving , gardening, dealing with my tax return, moving furniture, you name it, probably a bit like my old copy of the book, a bit creaky at the edges, but still "rarin to go" thanks to Dr Jarvis but have had to buy a newer version of his old book.

Received on time. Fantastic book full of knowledge.

I did not really learn anything I did not already know

Good read

Great book. But arrived with a bunch of large black ants sealed in the box.

My Mom had the original book from Dr, Jarvis which she got in Vermont. It was her daily reference. Lots of great suggestions about health .

Come dimagrire e fare mille cose buone con l'aceto di mele o altri prodotti semplici e naturali. Un libretto eccezionale.

highly recommend getting this book and having it on hand.get them while we still can!

I have bought many, many copies of this book for many years. I give it away, I'm so impressed with it. It was written many years ago buy a Vermont folk doctor. All his experiments on livestock are not interesting, but the testimonies and outcomes are. I read it for the first time in the 1970's, and I have followed his advice ever since. To sum it up, apple cidar vinegar and honey keep your body ph in balance. I mix it in my juice, or tea. You can buy the vinegar capsules from the health food store. As a result of daily taking the vinegar I have energy. I'm 78 years old and I have no arthritis, I have all my own teeth and plenty of hair. My weight has been a steady 125 lbs since taking the vinegar. I mow my own grass and use the weed wacker. My mind is sharp and I don't have any old age diseases. I have never had surgery. I do not have diabetes, heart disease, cancer or anything else that runs in my family. It is inexpensive. I buy plain ole Heinz vinegar at the grocery store. I won't stop the vinegar for anything.
