Thank you so much. I'm sixty nine and grew up in Poland and I remember my mother putting cups on my brother and me when we had pneumonia. We were very lucky indeed to have a mum who first would look into natural remedies and practices God bless her soul. I'm and have been in great health all my life, taking it for granted and only recently learnt, understood and appreciate

the reasons for it. To my credit, I guess, I've followed her way to the best of my ability. I appreciate your work here, thank you.

My parents are in the cruising gear aka their 80s and tell tales of castor oil, oral epsom salt pills et al. Seems my great grands (mothers mostly) were the true front line docs of the rurals. These books are revelatory. My brain feels like one of those old school popcorn poppers as the synapses start to heat up as I read. As an aside, you can scroll down for the epub version of the download. I print out book with cover and highlight the poignant points.
