Herbs: The Magic Healers

Excellent. Very informative !

I like ALL Paul Twitchell books.

Most informative and resourceful book regarding human health.

This new edition has been updated by A. Stuart Wheelwright, a master herbalist, nutritionist and biochemist. I received most of my help from the earlier edition when I first began to explore herbs as healing tools. I will give three examples of ways in which I was helped. I have been working in a high stress electonic data base area of my company and sometimes suffered from what I called 'brain fog'. I tried many different solutions and finally settled on a herb called Fo-ti-teng. My mental 'sharpness' is clear and I do not suffer from 'brain fog' when I am taking this herb. I found a local store that sells it in bulk so it is not even expensive. I only found reference to this herb in Herbs The Magic Healers. The other help that I received was with my annual winter skin cracking. <ouch> There is a lot of information on 'tissue cell salts'in the book. Calcarea Fluorica helped with my skin when many visits to the doctors did not. I had a high PSA test result. My doctor told me that I had prostate cancer. I read through Herbs... and took several different things that I thought would work for me. My urologist got very angry when I told him what I was taking. 6 months later PSA = 0. That was 5 years ago. I cannot recommend this book more highly.

Written in the '60s, this book played a major role in elevating the consciousness of mankind to realize that the herbs under our feet do and have offered incredible healing capabilities. It's as if God put everything we need within our grasp. Herbs - The Magic Healers is a Key to this great knowledge. For example -- I've been using Leptotaenia Dissecta -- "Sacred Root" (pg 81) for the last 6 years to cure (and I mean CURE) colds and flu. It has never failed to stop the flu dead for myself, frieds, family.This book offers solutions to health, longevity and spriritual well being for those with open hearts and open minds. I am truly thankful for this great gift of spiritual yet practical wisdom.

The book is written as the end all and be all of good health, which it is not. Twitchell promotes some very dangerous myths about herbs in general and some very blatant *unscientific* so-called facts. His system of categorizing people by *mineral types* is unfounded and smacks of sheer quackery. Herbs is a conglomeration of all the important psuedo-scientific nutrition myths of the 18th and 19th centuries. Of all the books by Twitchell this is the worst one because it promotes unsound nutritional theories that even most Holistic Practitioners stay away from. What further makes the book unusable is how Twitchell weaves his *ancient knowledge of the Eck Masters* together with his own unique theories of body health. The book lacks any credible *sources* to this so-called *ancient healing theory.* If Twitchells nutritional advice is followed by diabetics or those suffering from HIV/AIDS there could be catastrophic consequences to health. Be warned about this book. Let the consumer beware.

Absolutely fanatastic book, I have read this book approx 10 times and seem to learn something new each time

Excellent for old and healthy lives. Several spiritual secrets that we must know.Their curative powers, their legendary "magic," their wonderful properties that may revitalize you.
