Bach, Edward, & Wheeler, FJ, The Bach Flower Remedies. The orthodoxy may hate these naturopathic treatments, but they are tried and, according to some, very true.

Batmanghelidj, F, MD, Your Body's Many Cries for Water. HIGHLY recommended. This interesting doctor was imprisoned in Iran during the Khomeini regime and treated his fellow prisoners with plain water. Many of them improved. The amount of water needed varies from person to person and with the climate. If you get dark circles and bags under your eyes, you're drinking too much liquid, water or otherwise.

Brodeur, Paul, The Great Power-Line Cover-Up: How the Utilities and the Government Are Trying to Hide the Cancer Hazard Posed by Electromagnetic Fields. Is it all just scaremongering?

Kushi, Michio, et al., The Macrobiotic Way: The Complete Macrobiotic Diet & Exercise Book. A classic from the world's foremost authority. While the theories are interesting and the food wholesome, we would not recommend strict adherence to the vegan diet for all peoples. As an old chiropractor once said, "To be truly macrobiotic, you have to factor in genetic heritage."

Kwiterovich, Peter, Beyond Cholesterol: The Johns Hopkins Complete Guide for Avoiding Heart Disease.

Dr. Willner was famed for pricking his finger with HIV-infected blood to prove that he would not get ill from it. Willner unfortunately died from a heart attack before he developed any other illness.
