Rob, My parents had a copy of Folk Medicine when I was growing up. It was my very early introduction to the world of alternative and natural medicine. I was fascinated when I read it at the age of 12 and never forgot that there was this other system of healing wisdom. We also had Adele Davis'book on nutrition. Both truly wonderful influences on a baby boomer kid.
The fasting article is good too. Thanks so much! Garnet On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 11:55, Rob Combis wrote: > Garnet- > I am reading this book called 'Folk Medicine' by DC Jarvis.
