Mat's Review: 

This book provides information on the preparation and use of Essiac, many personal testimonials, and several lists of herbal sources and alternative medical treatment centers. It also tells the story of Rene Caisse’s work and struggles with the government and the medical industry to offer to the public this powerful cancer fighting formula of Native American healing herbs.

Mat's Review: 

This is a great book for the inexperienced forager. It covers a few hundred of the most common and useful edible and medicinal plants in North America. It is not exhaustive, but very usable and practical. Folk wisdom, first-hand practical experience, and scientific fact are blended with humorous and interesting anecdotes that help make this a very readable guide. Its main drawback is the lack of color photos for plant identification (relies on beautiful black-and-white drawings), so you may wish to combine with one or two of the other recommended guides.

Mat's Review: 

Whether you plan on collecting wild medicinal herbs, or cultivating your own herb garden, this gorgeous book will be a valuable addition to your herbal library. Provides information on medicinal properties, uses, cultivation and preparation of a huge number of herbs, but lacks any treatment or dosage information of practical value.

Mat's Review: 

This is an excellent reference for the serious herbalist or physician seeking to integrate herbs and modern medicine, or for anyone seeking significant self-treatment with herbs. It exhaustively covers potentially harmful herbal interactions with other herbs and medical conditions, and with modern pharmaceutical drugs. If you are currently taking pharmaceutical prescriptions, and wish to improve your health with herbs, I highly recommend you pick up this book to help you avoid potentially harmful drug-herb interactions.

Mat's Review: 

This is Dr. Clark’s latest book. It contains new information from her ongoing research and successful treatment of thousands of cases of advanced cancers (so-called “terminal” stage four and five cancers) using her methods and healing formulas. Don’t let the title of Dr. Clark’s new book fool you. Even though the focus is on cancer, her information, techniques, and prescriptions for healing have the same widespread potential for improving health in general, and eliminating most diseases, as her earlier book, The Cure for all Diseases. If I were diagnosed with cancer, cancer “ran in my family”, or had a fear of developing cancer, I would get a copy of this book ASAP. Contains fascinating information and many valuable self-help procedures. The Cure for All Advanced Cancers can help you to improve your health in general, even if you have no cancer. And if you wish to avoid cancer throughout your lifetime, it will tell you how.

This valuable book preserves a collection of cancer salve recipes for all mankind. Rather than relying on word of mouth and anecdotal information, you can now find reliable comprehensive information compiled into a single book. Includes detailed information about the individual healing herbs that compose the various cancer salves, as well as dose and application information on using the salves to eliminate tumors and cancers. Also includes numerous case histories plus several juicy color photographs that document the process and efficacy of using cancer salves.

Mat's Review: 

This excellent book contains many case histories and a wide variety of techniques/recipes for improving one’s health. Dr. Clark stresses parasite elimination and toxic cleansing that allow the body’s natural healing systems to respond to chronic and short-term diseases. She describes some of her research and the development of electronic devices for self-healing and diagnosis. This classic book may still be found at Dr. Clark’s publishing company, New Century Press (See Recourses and www.newcenturypress.com) and many health food stores. For more updated information, check out Dr. Clark’s most recent book, The Cure and Prevention of all Cancers.

Mat's Review: 

James A. Duke, Ph.D., author of The Green Pharmacy, is recognized as the world’s foremost authority on healing herbs. This book is a useful, entertaining, well-written, A to Z guide for using herbs to heal common ailments. James spent more than thirty years interviewing thousands of folk healers and scientists while compiling a unique database of the medicinal compounds found in common and exotic plants. This book is organized alphabetically by ailment. Dr. Duke offers multiple herbal remedies for each ailment, with useful notes concerning both scientific and folklore support for each remedy’s effectiveness. Even though it is short on instructions for the preparation of herbal remedies, I recommend this book for its wealth of information on the use of specific herbs for specific ailments.

This book explains how and why bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to modern antibiotics and how herbal remedies offer hope for combating new supergerms and viruses, while maintaining effectiveness without developing bacteria resistant to these herbs. Herbal Antibiotics is an excellent little book that presents current information about antibiotic resistant microbes and the herbs that are most effective in fighting them.
