Back to Eden

Very interesting reading! I really advise to have a copy in your library

A Wonderful book

Very imformitive but somewhat dated

My parents recommended this book to me years ago. So i decided to purchase a kindle copy. I never get bored reading it. It is full of many great tips and treaments using herbs.

Not exactly up to date but nevertheless there is much that one could take on board. I am pleased to have it as part of my book collection.

Very good book

excellent

Maintenance well being easy to read well great information

Keeps your head reading

If you are into Holistic or Naturopathic self help, this is not a bad place to start reading. _Back to Eden_ is a classic read on the subject. I read this book for the first time as a time and years later, it still holds up. If you want to understand more about herbs and such, that section of the book offers information regarding the main herbs and roots that are in use for a variety of conditions. But, I do think it has a lot of common sense approaches to the use of herbs and treatment for mild ailments. While it does offer information about serious conditions, by no means would I use this book in place of medical advice. I would approach those aspects with extreme caution and cross referencing, as well consultation with a professional practitioner. The reasons (forgive me for stating the obvious); some herbs cause contraindication or adverse reaction in combination with some medications and self diagnosis is dangerous and fool hardy -- it should be left up to the professions (second opinions are always good too). My paperback copy fell apart years ago, but, now I have a Kindle Edition of the book. Thanks Amazon!

Although it's not particularly professionally, or even well thought out- on pages, the information is good. Keeping in mind Mr. Kloss was helping to heal folks back in early 1900's, I take my hat off to him for putting this book out there. There are newer techniques on some things, and product changes over the years have made some items not as healthy, or different than they were back then. (soymilk was one of his staples) Today, it's processed differently than what his homemade method, and I use Almond milk instead. But a lot to learn from Jethro Kloss. I suggest after you read until you are tired, to use the Table of Contents to zero in on subjects.

A must havr
