Recommended Reading

READ THESE FIRST
Okay, here is my short list of must read books because of how much they will teach you. Most are also available as audio books from Audible.com. The last three, are to prove to you how much science and medicine are now corrupt, and are therefore tragically misleading the public and the medical profession into believing things to be factual which are simply not true and have been thoroughly scientifically disproven for many years! :

BOOKS
The following long list, is a list of books that I feel are outstanding. Each one is written by a knowledgeable author and contains very useful, helpful, and I believe, accurate information. For each book, I include my own brief (or not so brief) descriptive review. Oftentimes, some of the best books on various subjects are not readily available due to being out of print. This is especially true in the health and nutrition area. I do realize that there are quite a few books on this list; however, I have distilled them down from the many hundreds of titles which are currently being sold.

The single best used book search engine I know of is here

GENERAL HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Diet Evolution by Charles Hunt
Hunt died while jogging, was given CPR and revived by a passing anesthesiologist, and was rushed to the hospital. He then spent many hundreds of hours researching how to reverse the poor condition of his body and attain optimal health. All of the information is correct; and he includes numerous scientific quotes and excellent documentation as to why meats are needed, which fats are good or bad, and why humans did not have all our current health problems on the paleolithic high fat diets thousands of years ago. He concludes with a fantastic section of recipes which I will start experimenting with. It is a terrific book to lend to friends and relatives who think vegetarian and low‑fat equals healthy. Then you can watch his fabulous documentary entailed In Search of the Perfect Human Diet. Or have them read The Paleo Cardiologist listed above.

The Carnitine Miracle by Robert Crayhon
Although the title makes it appear that this book is just about Carnitine, nothing could be further from the truth. I found this to be an excellent basic diet/nutrition book which goes along very well with Hunt’s book above. Crayhon was a legitimate nutritionist and did his research well. The only fault I have found in the book is that he is recommending a very damaging oil called canola oil. I talked with him about this many years ago, and I believe he completely changed his mind.

Optimal Wellness by Ralph Golan, M.D.
Many of my clients and students have asked me to “please write a comprehensive bible of health.” Since I continually admit that I must disagree with a fair amount of what is written in most encyclopedic‑type health guides, I am always looking for the best ones in each field to be written. Dr. Golan has done it. Even though there are a few things I would have said differently, or that I might have added, this book is exceptional. No library is complete without this book, and I might add, it will do you no good if you don’t read it and use the information.

Search For Health by Tom and Carole Valentine
This is a very interesting and extremely informative volume. The Valentines remind me of myself in that they are extremely thorough in their investigations of all health issues. If you were to read through this book and absorb even a portion of the knowledge it contains, you would have the facts necessary to change your life and your health. Some of the information I go over in my classes but much of it I simply don’t have the time to cover in depth. This is an excellent book to get you on track or to lend to a disbelieving friend. A few of the many topics covered include: microwave cooking, hormones, fluoridation, the FDA, eggs, salt, fats and oils, cancer, EssiacÔ, parasites, KombuchaÔ, PycnogenolÔ, etc. I wish it were less expensive.

This book is out of print but if you can find a used copy somewhere, buy it!

The Truth About Children’s Health
The Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing, and Reversing Disease by Robert Bernardini. The subtitle of this book is actually more accurate than the main title since all the information is just as applicable to adults as it is to children. I feel that there are a very few books which are really and truly required reading if you care about the health of your family or yourself. I read this book cover to cover on a 6 hour airline flight and felt it was so important that I called the author. My endorsement appears on the back cover and was added when he reprinted the book.

If you really care about your health, put down the newspaper and your current novel and read this entire book.

WOMEN’S HEALTH ISSUES
The Estrogen Alternative by Raquel Martin
There are now dozens of books for sale on women’s health issues. The majority are giving what I believe to be totally or partially incorrect and invalid information. I have read most of the current titles, and this one seems to be by far the most up to date and accurate.

Hypothyroidism Type 2 by Mark Starr, MD
This is a great book for people whose physicians just don’t understand that how you feel is far more important than the lab tests they ordered on you. Many people have low thyroid function for any of a dozen or more reasons and yet their doctors think their thyroid is just fine. This is due to an inadequate understanding of what the lab tests can and cannot properly show. He is a bit wrong about using only basal temperature since in most women even with proper thyroid support or medication, their basal temperature still does not become normal. Kelly Brogan’s book, A Mind of Your Own has very good information on proper thyroid testing and healthy lab value blood test numbers to look for.

CHOLESTEROL FACTS ARE NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD
There are so many great books on this subject that I cannot understand why the pharmaceutical complex is still able to brainwash our physicians into believing that cholesterol is bad and must be regulated with drugs. They are KILLING PEOPLE and destroying muscles and brains with their low cholesterol nonsense!

You might want to begin by reading all the particles on this web site on fats and cholesterol in the Published Articles Section.

The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov. M.D., Ph.D.
We had needed this and these other books for a very long time. Previously, the only scientifically referenced book on the truth about cholesterol was previously The Cholesterol Conspiracy by Smith. It was very difficult to find, not up to date, and not for the layperson. Finally, we have a books which explode all the nonsense which your doctor, dietician, nutrition professor, and the media have been foisting on you for the past couple of decades. You can now read the truth and science rather than what politics and money have been sending you, in the way of incorrect and deadly information for many years. You may wish to re-consider taking any cholesterol‑lowering drugs before you read at least one of these books. Two or three would be better.

Lipitor Thief of Memory by Duane Graveline, MD

The Statin Damage Crisis by Duane Graveline, MD

Cholesterol is Not the Culprit by Fred A. Kummeow, PhD

Cholesterol and Saturated Fat Present Heart Disease by David Evans

And there are many more good books on this important subject and some videos on my web site

VITAMIN AND MINERAL REFERENCES
The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book by Shari Lieberman Ph.D. and Nancy Bruning
Well it has finally been written! A vitamin/mineral book which tells the truth, gives a thorough description of the benefits of each vitamin and mineral, gives you actual doses based on reality not fiction, and is backed by loads of scientific research. Dr. Lieberman has a legitimate Ph.D. in Nutrition. (You may be surprised to know that there are many people who claim the Ph.D. title but whose “degree” was from various mail order or correspondence “schools” which have non‑legitimate or totally unrecognized “accreditations.”) If you want to know what a vitamin does or how much you should try taking and why, you need this book. If you are a doctor, you really need this book. Indispensable for all health‑ conscious people as well as practitioners and medical doctors!

User’s Guide to Nutritional Supplements by Jack Challem

This guide is a phenomenal reference. It covers a few less nutrients than Dr. Lieberman’s book above, but it covers them with more information, some of which is very important and helpful to know.

SELF‑HELP

I do not recommend that people go around treating themselves and the illnesses they think they have; however, the following books allow you to read the authors’ suggestions for various maladies. Often it can be beneficial to get a doctor’s diagnosis before deciding to try a non‑medical remedy. It may be a problem, however, to locate a physician who is able to correctly diagnose your illness. When you find a good doctor, keep him/her.

Dr. Wright’s Guide To Healing With Nutrition

and

Dr. Wright’s Book Of Nutritional Therapy by Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.

These books are written in a rather interesting style. Dr. Wright is talking to us about patients which have come to him with various problems and how he treats them. Each of the more than 50 cases makes you feel as if he is in the office talking with you. The index to each book sends you right to the problem you are looking for. Dr. Wright is a very well‑known and well‑respected M.D. in the health and nutrition field. Both books have been in print for some time and may sometimes even be found in the used book stores.

Healing Through Nutrition by Melvyn Werbach, M.D.

Dr. Werbach gives a natural approach to treating 50 common illnesses with diet and nutrition. This book is written to help you find additional ways to better health. It is meant to give patients information that they can bring to and discuss with their doctors. As the author of a reference book, Nutritional Influences on Illness, Dr. Werbach is well versed in the information which he conveys to the reader. Dr. Werbach has written excellent medical nutritional reference books as well.

Encyclopedia Of Natural Medicine by Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno N.D. These naturopathic physicians are the authors of the main textbook used by the only 4‑year accredited Naturopathic Medical University. It is what its title says it is. Excellent.

Dr. Braly’s Food Allergy And Nutrition Revolution by James Braly, M.D.

Dr. Braly has done a fantastic amount of work with his patients in the area of hidden food intolerances as the cause of a great deal of illness. He is also very well versed in all areas of nutrition and health. I highly recommend this book to everyone. His laboratory (Immuno Labs) does special food allergy tests which may be far more accurate than what is generally available. The lab is accessible to all doctors and is located in Florida. My favorite labs for accurate food and other substance sensitivity testing are: Elisa/Act Bio-Technologies and Cyrex Labs

Your Hidden Food Allergies Are Making You Fat by Rivera and Deutsch

This is a small, easier‑to‑get‑through book on food allergies. It is less complete in some areas and far more specific in others. I am NOT recommending the particular allergy test that the book talks about (ALCAT); however, all the excellent information is just as relevant for the other tests such at the Immuno‑Labs test, which I do recommend. Most people have hidden food allergies that can cause numerous health problems that we and physicians do not generally relate to the foods that are causing them. This book explains the how’s and whys in an easy‑to‑understand fashion.

MASTER REFERENCE GUIDES

Nutritional Medicine Second Edition by Alan Gaby, MD

This book is over 1,400 pages and it took Dr. Gaby many years to compile. I have known him and his good friend Dr. Jonathan Wright for decades and I have the highest respect for both of them. Dr. Wright wrote the forward to my own book, Abundant Health in a Toxic World that I published in June of 2018. This book is huge, very heavy, and is mainly a fantastic reference for holistically minded medical practitioners so I love it. It would also be helpful for those investigative fanatics which want the best possible reference books on holistic medicine in their library. Not cheap but well worth it.

Alternative Medicine — The Definitive Guide

This book is also in a category of its own. I would only recommend this book to people who spend a lot of time studying alternative medicine or those who feel the need to have exceptional reference material in their libraries. If you want to learn more about Kinesiology, Biofeedback, Chelation Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Homeopathy, Oxygen Therapies, Qigong, etc., etc., etc., what one book could you turn to? Previously, no single book had information on such a wide variety of alternative modalities. I would not use this book for a thorough, in‑depth education on any of these topics, but as a master general reference work, it is definitely unsurpassed.

KEEPING CHILDREN HEALTHY

How To Raise A Healthy Child In Spite Of Your Doctor by Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.

A classic which should be required reading by every parent or parent to be. If you really care about your children, read both this book and the next one I list below. If it sounds like I am trying to make you feel guilty if I don’t read them, it is because I am indeed doing just that. Parenting is an extremely important job, and without the information in these books, you will not be giving your children the health, immunity, and information they rightly deserve.

Super Nutrition for Babies by Katherine Erlich, MD

Finally, an MD who I can mostly agree with in regards to the dietary choices she teachers you to make for you babies. The best I have found on this topic.

The Crazy Makers by Carol Simontacchi

This book has been a long time in coming, and its information is both timely and badly needed by all parents and non‑parents alike. You will learn which foods contain ingredients or chemicals which can greatly affect and harm the emotional and physiological health of your children. Even if you hate to read and have not read a book in many years, if you care about the health of your kids (and your family), read this book soon!

Healing Childhood Ear Infections by Michael Schmidt

This topic is very important. Children initially get these infections due to lack of adequate immunity. They then continue to get them due to the side effects of having been treated with antibiotics. Tubes should almost never have to be used in children’s ears if the child is treated properly, and antibiotics (against life) are frequently the wrong thing to do. Please read this book, and then lend it out to other parents so that more people may learn the truth.

Super Immunity For Kids by Leo Galland, M.D.

There are very few good books on the subject of how to feed your children in a healthy way. This book is one of those few, and I recommend that you read it.

The Truth About Children’s Health

The Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing, and Reversing Disease by Robert Bernardini

The subtitle of this book is actually more accurate than the main title since all the information is just as applicable to adults as it is to children. I feel that there are a very few books which are really and truly required reading if you care about the health of your family or yourself. Altogether, there are possibly as few as 6 such titles. This would definitely be one of the six. I read this book cover to cover on a 6 hour airline flight and felt it was so important that I called the author. My endorsement appears on the back cover and was added when he reprinted the book.

If you really care about your health, put down the newspaper and your current novel and read this entire book.

TOXINS IN OUR FOODS and ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS

Abundant Health in a Toxic World by Yours truly (David Getoff)

I finally wrote a book to teach you about the most important aspects of detoxification and health. I made it easy to read and I made certain to put in all the important stuff even if you might not want to hear it.

The Crazy Makers by Carol Simontacchi

This book has been a long time in coming and its information is both timely and badly needed by every person who cares about their health. What foods contain ingredients or chemicals which can greatly effect and harm our emotional and physiological health. Even if you hate to read and have not read a book in many years, if you care about your health and the health of those you love, READ THIS BOOK SOON.

Our Toxic World A Wake Up Call by Doris Rapp, MD

Dr. Rapp, a friend who has been in this business for more years than most, wrote this book back in 2003. It is probably even more important today since our toxic load is now far greater than it was then. Read it and weep, but make changes to improve the health of your family

Tired Or Toxic and The E.I. Syndrome Both by Sherry Rogers M.D.

Environmental illness is a catch‑all term for anyone who is made sick by the chemicals and toxins in our environment. The chemicals that can cause severe reactions and even hospitalization in many people include perfumes, hair sprays, air fresheners, insect sprays or repellents, cleaners and polishes, certain types of wood, glues, solvents, and many others. Dr. Rogers specializes in the treatment of people with these problems, and her books are by far the best I have ever seen. The information in these books will be helpful to both the patient and the doctor. I suggest that you read Tired or Toxic first.

CANCER

The Healing Of Cancer by Barry Lynes

If you need a small, easy‑to‑read book that gives the reasons NOT to trust what the establishment is telling you, then read this fantastic book by an investigative journalist. I highly recommended it.

Questioning Chemotherapy by Ralph Moss

This is THE definitive book on the reasons NOT to get chemotherapy. Written by an previous employee of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, it is extremely well researched and documented. This is a legitimate author and you had better listen to him if you value your life.

What Went Wrong by Nicholas Gonzalez, MD

A fantastic book by a fantastic physician and researcher who was a friend. I wish he was still with us. You will be fascinated by what you learn

Cancer and Vitamin C by Cameron and Pauling and oldie but a goodie

Cancer as a Metabolic Disease by Thomas Seyfried

May be too technical for some but fabulous and important information

Tripping Over the Truth: The return of the metabolic theory of Cancer

I listened to the audio book version and learned quite a bit

Cancer Your Doctors Lack of Knowledge can Shorten Your Life (DVD) by yours truly, David Getoff

Cancer Nutrition and Healing by Jerry Brunetti (DVD) this and my DVD above are excellent for people who currently have cancer

The Breast Cancer Prevention Program by Samuel Epstein, M.D.

OK ladies, you want the real truth with no holds barred? This is it!!!! I have been listening to this research scientist speak for many years. He is extremely well respected, and in fact, he has been called in as an expert by other governments. This book may save your life and is must‑reading if you or a loved one has breasts.

Options by Richard Walters

Did you know that there are quite a number of alternative cancer therapies which have been used successfully by thousands of people to fight their cancer? This well researched, very intriguing book will expose you to many of these therapies and the stories surrounding them. Anyone who is the least bit interested in investigating cancer treatments, other than chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, needs to read this book first. Exceptionally well researched, very interesting, and highly recommended

The Definitive Guide To Cancer by Burton Goldberg (Future Medicine Publishing)

Ever wonder what some of the most well‑known alternative physicians use to treat cancer? This book is a compendium of actual physicians’ treatment protocols for cancer. Each physician was personally interviewed and their programs are written here for others to learn from. No book should ever be considered a self‑help guide to the treatment of this deadly disease. I highly recommend that you seek the assistance of someone highly experienced in working with alternative cancer modalities and NOT consider this or any other book to be a Do‑It‑Yourself guide to the home treatment of cancer. The actual statistics for disease‑free survival after a person gets cancer are frightening. For most forms of cancer it is almost zero. For ovarian and non‑lymphocytic leukemia, it can reach as high as 10% or even 20% which is still an awfully low survival rate. I personally believe that with the (proper) use of holistic therapies, these numbers could be greatly increased, but how much is greatly? For the majority of cancers, simply getting a 10‑year survival after diagnosis would be a miracle. Do your homework, and use these references to help yourself.

Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Dr. Patrick Quillin

Dr. Quillin is the Vice President of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. His book offers a well‑rounded look at how to help your body beat cancer by better nutrition and a healthier lifestyle. There are many alternative treatments being used for cancer — both by those who have been given up on by the medical profession and by those who have chosen not to go with traditional therapies. No matter what you choose, the information in this book, if you follow it, has a good chance of making your body healthier and stronger, thus giving any therapy a better chance of success. If someone close to you has cancer, I suggest you read this book in order to help them change to a healthier diet for their own benefit. I believe that if we all followed much of the advice in this book, the national cancer rate would plunge.

Nutrition — The Cancer Answer II by Maureen Kennedy Salaman

This revised edition of an excellent book is even better than before. Either this or the previous title are a must if someone has cancer and you don’t have a good holistic professional to work with¼or even if you do. I

There are many other books on specific approaches to cancer. Please let me know exactly what type of information you are looking for, and I will try to steer you to the best book in that area or on the particular therapy you wish to investigate further.


Fluoride is a toxic substance.  These books will give you the facts, but you might also want to buy and watch the FluorideGate documentary from Acres USA (.org)

The Case Against Fluoride by Paul Connett, PhD

The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson

Fluoride, The Aging Factor by John Yiamouyiannis


WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR MEDICAL and SCIENCE ESTABLISHMENT

Confessions of a Medical Heretic by Robert Mendelsohn, MD

Although this book was written many years ago, it is still as accurate, important and applicable today as it was when Dr. Mendelsohn wrote it. The author was a highly respected physician who ran departments in many hospitals. His expose of what occurs in the medical profession is both scarey and eye opening. The information you learn might easily save your life or that of a family member. At the very least, it will open your

eyes to how money and profits are far more important in medicine, than your health, honesty or any form of ethics. Here is a good list if reading the first one above peaked your interest,

Misguided Medicine By Colin Champ, MD

Racketeering In Medicine by James P. Carter, M.D., Dr. P.H.

Dirty Medicine by Martin J. Walker

Science for Sale by David Lewis PhD

The Cancer Industry by Ralph W. Moss

The Assault On Medical Freedom by P. Joseph Lisa

Medical Armageddon by Michael Culbert

What the Drug Companies Won’t Tell You by Michael Murrray, ND

Selling Sickness by Ray Moynihan

Our Daily Meds by Melody Petersen

The Truth About the Drug Companies by Marcie Angell, MD

Money Driven Medicine by Maggie Mahar

Overtreated by Shannon Brownlee

Doctors are More Harmful than Germs by Harvey Biegelsen, MD

I have met dozens of seemingly intelligent people who truly believe that the A.M.A., F.D.A., and all our physicians, are working only with the best interests of the public in mind. I have met many doctors who mistakenly believe that if any treatment that helped or cured disease were well researched, these treatments and studies would always be published in the mainstream medical journals. Sorry but this is not true.

Most of us believe that any medicine, which is extremely hazardous to those receiving it and which seems to be legal only for the purpose of making millions of dollars for its manufacturer, would surely be taken off the market. These beliefs are simply not accurate! Racketeering in Medicine and Dirty Medicine will explain to any reader exactly what has been and is being done in this arena. If you are interested in the truth even if it destroys your current beliefs, then buy and read at least one of these books, then lend it to a friend. If you are a physician, please read them before putting down your patient for asking about alternative or nutritional medicine.

VACCINATIONS a topic which turns friends against one another due to ignorance of the actual science and a misdirected belief that they are either safe or effective.

It is truly very difficult to pick just a few titles in this category as so many doctors have looked into this and realized that everything they were taught about vaccinations IS WRONG! I also have a great deal of FREE expert informational videos and a few MP3 audio files on the subject of vaccine facts on this web site in the Vaccine area.

Vaccination Is Not Immunization By Dr. Tim O’Shea

I have known Tim for many many years and I have carried his book the entire time. Every few years he adds even more research and comes out with an new edition. He also lectures on this topic all over the U.S. I am not endorsing any of his products, just his information which is dead on and exceptional. His current edition should always be available from his own web site at https://thedoctorwithin.com/ Anyone who can read this book from cover to cover, check out any studies that you may not believe are possible and still believes that vaccines are either safe or effective must be a fool or a vaccine manufacturer making billions of dollars from their sales.

Vaccine Safety Manual and Miller’s Critical Review of Vaccine Studies both by Neil Miller

Neil Miller has been trying to educate the public about the hazardous but suppressed facts about vaccines and vaccinations for a very long time. These are two of his best books

Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries, MD

Another physician who leaned the facts about these extremely damaging untested drugs and wrote a great book to try and teach us the truth

Vaccine Whistleblower by Kevin Barry Esquire A top research scientist at the United States centers for Disease Control (CDC) released the information that the CDC had lied and that scientists were ordered to lie. That they were ordered to lie and destroy research which clearly showed link between vaccinations and autism. This book tell that story and is well worth reading.

Dr Sherri Tenpenny is a physician who has read more published scientific research studies on vaccinations than possibly anyone else on the planet earth. She has done numerous presentations, has written books, and have produced a number of excellent videos just two of which are Vaccines, What the CDC Documents and Science Reveals and Vaccines, The Risks the Benefits the Choices. I recommend all of DVD’s as well as all of the recording made during any of the conferences put together by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) www.NVIC.org

You can get an older set of AUDIO CASSETTE tapes (if you have a cassette player) of the 2002 NVIC conference here http://www.audiotapes.com

Vaccines: Are They Really Safe And Effective by Neil Z. Miller

Were you vaccinated?¼probably. Were your children vaccinated?¼probably. Do you know what studies have shown regarding most vaccinations?¼I doubt it. After reading this and five other books on the subject, I do not intend to ever get any more vaccinations if I can help it. Highly recommended, short, and easy to read.

Vaccination Roulette produced by the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN)

This new book, first published at the end of 1998, is incredible. It is THE new reference work on vaccinations. (Previously I gave these honors to the next book listed below.) Vaccination Roulette is like a 326‑page encyclopedia of everything you ever might need to know if you’re willing to take the time to read it. Printed on expensive coated paper and well indexed by subject, this is the Cadillac of vaccination books. I wish it were printed here in the U.S. since it is extremely expensive for me to import it from Australia. You will probably not be able to find this anywhere else in the U.S., and it’s well worth the money! Sorry about the price¼$37.95 frequently in stock.

Immunization — The Realty Behind The Myth (2nd Edition) by Walene James

This is the first complete, well documented, easy to read treatise on the hazards of all vaccinations. There have been (and are) many other good books on this subject. Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective mentioned above is a small compilation with charts and graphs, and it goes exceptionally well as a companion to this book. If you are still alive, you are probably going to have more vaccinations before you die. If you have or love any children, then this information is even more important. If you really care about your health and the health of your present or future children then you had best read this book immediately. In stock for $24.95.

A Handbook Of Homeopathic Alternatives To Immunization by Susan Curtis

If you are planning to have more children or if you have any youngsters at the moment, this book may be helpful after you have finished one or more of the above. Imported from London

Vaccination & Homeoprophylaxis (6th edition) by Dr. Isaac Golden

Dr. Golden is one of the world experts in this field and is possibly the only one who has carried out long term clinical research in his practice with his patients.

Very interesting and worthwhile information on utilizing homoeopathy to reduce illness rather than massively toxic unsafe and often useless vaccines. Personally, I feel that a good immune system from better foods, basic nutritional supplements, less EMF’s and the use of immune nutrients like vitamins A and C and herbs like echinacea, propolis, andrographis, etc. are more important. I am glad to have received my lifetime immunity to measles, mumps and chickenpox due to having had these childhood diseases when I was a child. If you read Neil miller’s book on vaccine studies you can find out some of the additional benefits of having actually had these illnesses rather than trying to prevent them

MY CHOICE OF BOOKS ON OTHER SPECIFIC SUBJECTS

The Milk Book by William Campbell Douglass, M.D.

Did you ever wonder who’s right regarding drinking milk? Is it a great food, or should it be shunned by everyone? Does it help build strong bones or lead to accelerated atherosclerosis and osteoporosis? How about certified raw milk, since we are lucky enough to be in one of the only states where it is legal? Does homogenized milk increase our risk of cancer? This book is the most complete book on milk that I have ever read. It is fun to read and will probably change the type of milk you drink while it educates you on the subject. Read it!

Bee Hive Product Bible by Royden Brown

Bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and honey are products of our friends, the bees. Everyone knows a little about honey, but few people know of the many health benefits of the other products. They can be miraculous and have helped many people in many ways. I now take all three daily. I suggest that you read this book and learn more about how these products may help you, too.

Light Radiation and You & Health and Light Both by John Nash Ott

Much of what we are told about light, sunlight, and ultra‑violet is distorted by the media and the suntan lotion companies. John Ott has spent his life working with and investigating the effects of light on plants, animals, and humans. These books, or at least the first one, should be required reading for every adult, every parent, and every school and city official. You will be amazed at what this book has to say. I have full‑spectrum lighting in most of my home, and this book will make it very clear as to why I have done this. The first book is temporarily out of print.

Why Stomach Acid is Good for You by Jonathan V. Wright, MD

This book and the next one can both teach you why the single WORST thing you can do if you have GERD or think you have an over acid stomach is to take either antacids or acid blocking (cancer causing) drugs like Nexium, Prilosec or others.

No More Heartburn by Sherry Rogers

The best book in the world if you ever suffer from heartburn or gastro‑esophageal reflux (GERD) If during the course of a year you ever take any antacids or acid blockers, read this book before you destroy your health!

Know Your Fats by Dr. Mary Enig

I have been waiting for Mary to complete this book for about 3 years. Every time I spoke with her I’d bug her about it. I feel Dr. Enig is one of the foremost lipids scientists in the world. She has been researching good fats versus bad fats for a great many years. She has been going up against the diet dictocrats who have been promoting falsehoods for political and financial reasons and has been pushing for legitimate legislation. For example, she has been trying to get all foods to have their damaging trans fats listed on the label so that we can learn how to avoid them. She has also been trying to get the public properly informed regarding the health benefits of coconut oil and the very misleading commonly assumed facts that animal fats are bad for our health. This is not a fun, easy book to read, but it is extremely informative and might save your life if you learn the facts and put them to use in your diet. Available from the Price‑Pottenger Foundation, 800‑FOODS4U (800‑366‑3748), and probably from better book stores.

A Disaster Survival Guide by Dr. Cass Igram, D.O.

This book is in a class by itself. If you want to be better prepared for an earthquake, or if you go camping, hiking, backpacking, etc., you need to read this book. I have never read any other book which contains as much information on natural, nontoxic products to be used as an antiseptic, antibiotic, anti‑fungal, anti‑inflammatory, anti diarrheal, etc., etc. It is also chocked full of information on what to do for various injuries. Anyone who is smart enough to buy and read this book will probably end up giving some away as terrific gifts to health‑conscious friends.

Tea Tree Oil by Cass Ingram, D.O.

and The Australian Tea Tree Oil Guide by Cynthia B. Olsen

One of the fantastic antiseptics which is described in the previous book has too many uses to be covered without a book of its own. I keep Tea Tree oil in my glove compartment for cuts, scrapes and insect bites. It does not sting, and I believe it does a far better job than its drug store counterparts. These books do a very thorough job of showing you what Tea Tree oil can do and how to use it. When I pack any bag to go anywhere, Tea Tree oil and Aloe Vera gelly always accompany me

The Cure Is In The Cupboard by Cass Igram

If you thought that tea tree oil was fantastic, wait until you read about the uses for oregano oil! I have now used this oil on animal bites, insect bites, head lice, gum infections and much more. My patients continually sing its praises. A must for every medicine cabinet but should not be used until you know how. Originally published at

Oxygen Therapies by Ed McCabe

Oxygen is necessary for life. We could all use a bit more oxygen and a lot less polluted air. Most disease producing organisms are anaerobic. This means that they live in the absence of oxygen and die in the presence of oxygen. This has prompted a number of very interesting and apparently often very helpful therapies to be developed having to do with oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc. This book is possibly the most informative and well researched on the topic. Mr. McCabe lectures about these therapies around the globe, and a number of very informative and extremely interesting videos have been made of these lectures.

Bypassing The Bypass by Elmer Cranton, M.D.

Bypass, open heart, and angioplasty are very traumatic and expensive surgical procedures. The necessity for these surgeries has to do with the results of our high‑fat (and the wrong fats) diet and the inadequate intake of fiber, complex carbohydrates, and preventive nutrients. This book will tell you about how Chelation Therapy is being used successfully to clear out the arteries of many thousands of individuals as a much less expensive and much less dangerous alternative to surgery. There are also some other good books on the benefits of Chelation Therapy. See bookstore list. $12.95

It’s All In Your Head by Hal Huggins, D.D.S.

Mercury is one of the most toxic substances to the human body. This has been known and accepted by the medical profession for many decades. The “silver amalgam” fillings, which almost all dentists have been using to fill our cavities all of our lives, are 50% mercury. Without thorough testing, it has always been assumed that by combining the mercury with silver and copper, it becomes bound into the amalgam and is safe. Newer equipment has now shown that, in many tested individuals, the level of mercury vapor in their mouths is many times higher than the E.P.A. approved level for mercury vapor released from paint or for air in the work place. Quite a few people have apparently been “cured” of a multitude of symptoms and doctor‑diagnosed illnesses within weeks and sometimes hours of having their silver amalgam fillings “properly” removed. These problems include arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and increased susceptibility to illness. This book will give you some information in this area. There was also an excellent “60 Minutes” report done on amalgam fillings a couple of years ago.

Root Canal Cover‑Up Exposed by George E. Meinig, D.D.S., F.A.C.D.

Dr. Meinig was one of the founding members of the American Association of Endodontists (the root canal doctors). Rather than my writing a page of description, let me simply say the following: If you are having serious, continuing medical problems and you have one or more root canals in your mouth, add this to your book list of must‑read books. If nothing else, it is very interesting, informative, factual, and well written. Available from PPNF, 800‑FOODS4U (800‑366‑3748).

Guess What Came To Dinner by Ann Louise Gittleman

Various studies and experts have announced that between 20 and 70 percent of Americans are unintentionally hosts to various types of parasites. This book explains why this is possibly true, what these parasites are, where they came from, and most importantly, what you can do about it. Included in the book are a number of nontoxic herbal substances that are being used to treat many of these parasitic problems. It is a scary book that was worth reading.

THE HAZARDS OF SUGAR

Sweet Suicide by Gene Wright (1990)

Out of print but great if you can find it in a used book store.

Sugar Blues by William Dufty (1975)

A classic!

Pure White and Deadly and Sweet and Dangerous by John Yudkin, PhD

It is interesting that accurate books on the hazards of sugar have been out as long as those by Dr. Yudkin who died at 85 in 1995. Too bad so few people are listening

Lick The Sugar Habit by Nancy Appleton (1988)

Many of us have the mistaken idea that if we are not overweight, then sugar consumption is not a problem. The rest of us feel that we should probably eat less sweets, but let’s start doing that tomorrow. After all, they are not really that bad for us, are they? The answer is a resounding YES. They are actually even worse than that. All three of these books are well written and will completely change your minds about sugars, while they help you improve your health. They were written years apart, but neither sugar nor its effects on the body have changed, so that does not matter. Buy one and read it at the risk of better health and a greatly reduced chances of getting an avoidable degenerative disease many years from now. Sugars and the wrong kind of fats are your health’s worst enemies.

Stuck within the millions of cells in my brain are a plethora of book titles on a never‑ending number of subjects. If you are trying to find a book on a particular subject, give me a call. The worst that could happen is that I will not be able to help you.

Barnes and Noble

I have only been there once a few times, but they are nice, large, well‑stocked stores. And of course, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com are available on the web.

Controversial Books 3021 University Avenue, San Diego, 296‑1560

The title says it all. Health, metaphysics, the occult, astrology — you name it they have a section for it. They are happy to order any titles they have access to. Take a look!

Along Adams Avenue in San Diego, there are a slew of used bookstores. This area has been referred to as “book store row” for over a decade. I dare you to spend an hour (or three) in these stores and not buy a bunch of books. Now, if only you could find the time to read a couple of them.

Price‑Pottenger Nutrition Foundation 7890 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA 91945,800‑FOODS4U (800‑366‑3748)

PPNF is a non‑profit foundation for nutritional and environmental education. They publish a newsletter for members at $40.00 a year, which will give you a great deal of valuable information. They also host talks by various experts in different related fields. In addition, they have a fantastic library of books that you can sit and read, as well as quite a few good titles for sale that cannot be easily found elsewhere. PPNF is my first choice for foundations that deserve your support!

NEWSLETTERS by some of the best professionals

The following is a list of nutritional and alternative health newsletters and magazines. I include only those that I feel are written by people who are well versed in their fields and whom I respect. For each one I give a brief description, annual subscription price and phone number. I receive a number of additional publications which would be too technical to recommend to the general public, but please let me now if you would be interested in these journals as well.

Alternatives by Dr. David Williams, DC

This is possibly my favorite newsletter. I have every issue since he began publishing in 1985. Dr. Williams carefully and thoroughly researches all of the information which he puts in his newsletter. It is timely information and often alerts his readers (as with shark cartilage) before the general public is informed about an important new health item. Unlike many other newsletters, he DOES NOT include all sorts of advertising with his newsletter. If you only get one newsletter (or if you get many), be sure to get this one! The rate is about $39.95/year.

Green Medicine by Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD one of my favorite mentors

Dr. Wright is one of the most highly respected holistic/nutritional physicians in the world. If I had a problem and could not heal myself with my own knowledge, he would be at the top of my list of people to see for advice. He writes his newsletter in the same interesting style that he wrote his two books. Very highly recommended.  The Newsletter is available at www.GreenMedicineNewsletter.com.

Health & Healing by Dr. Julian Whitaker

Dr. Whitaker is a well‑respected physician in the alternative health field. I have known of him for many years and have added it to my recommended list. Being an M.D., Williams still falls into the trap of treating some symptoms rather than the body, but it is still a darn good source of knowledge.

Second Opinion by Dr. Frank Shallenberger, MD

Although all of the newsletters I am listing are “alternative,” meaning that they promote health and nutrition rather than drugs and surgery, this one is, lets say, “more different.” because Dr. Shallenberger is one of a small handful of world experts in the uses of Ozone in medicine. Everyone should read his small book entitled The Ozone Miracle and if you like to be prepared for things like ebola, anthrax, hanta virus and other deadly virus plagues, then you need to read about how to be prepared if you get one of these diseases. I know him well and his friend Robert Rowen, MD, another ozone doctor.

Total Health by Dr. Sherry Rogers

Dr. Rogers is a medical doctor who specializes in treating environmental illness. This is a disease which causes a person to become sick from environmental chemicals in our air, carpeting, paints, glues, wood products, perfumes, cleaning solvents, etc. She has written some of the best books on this subject, and her newsletter provides additional very useful information in this area. I definitely do NOT agree with some of her dietary information but there is enough good stuff in her newsletter that I have been subscribing for over 20 years

ORGANIZATIONS WITH NEWSLETTERS

Price‑Pottenger Foundation

I have already mentioned this organization just before starting the section on newsletters. Please read my description there. The newsletter is excellent and comes with your membership fees.

The National Health Federation

Your support for this organization will help to protect our health freedoms. This is very important as the FDA, AMA, and the pharmaceutical industry are trying hard to infringe on our first‑amendment rights. They already entirely restrict and control your non‑existent right to freedom of choice in alternative health care. They also see to it that there is no insurance coverage for non‑approved health care even when it is more effective and less toxic than conventional treatments.


Fascinating books (also available as audio books from Audible.com)
I also added these titles to my reading list in the same new category of Fascinating Books

Dolores Canon (and Michael Newton) are/were experts in past life regression hypnotherapy. 

The kinds of information which can be accessed/recovered during deep trance hypnosis is rather astounding and can be difficult for some to even believe is possible.  I will not pass judgement here, but will leave that up to the reader. 

Whether you choose, after reading one or more of these books, to believe that you are now one of the few who know more about our distant past than most will ever know, or whether you feel this is all nonsense, is completely up to you.

I was trained in hypnosis and my mother used it for her master’s degree in the psychology of early memories with her patients. 

I have found that it is extremely important for me to keep an open mind in order to be the best health practitioner I can be.  For example, when I was in my teens and early 20’s, I thought that astrology and psychics were a load of crap.  The astrology belief got turned on its head when my girlfriend, Timmie, who was studying to be a professional astrologer, asked for my minute of birth so her teacher could do my natal chart as a gift for me.  That was way before the internet, and yet this astrologer, her teacher (Leor Warner) told me personal and accurate things about myself and my family that he could not know and that she did not know.   I asked him for a book recommendation and he said,  A Time for Astrology by Jess Stern which I still recommend to people today.  I have had readings from many really bad (or bogus) psychics as well as a very few really good ones (the same for animal communicators) so that I no longer disbelief in that either.  These are simply fields that, like homeopathy, can attract a great deal of charlatans and so the public disbelieves most if not all of these, just as they used to disbelieve in chiropractors and acupuncturists until really good research studies were published on both.

Here are the books that I challenge you to read (or listen to) and see what you think.
These are all by Dolores Canon.
Five Lives Remembered
Jesus and the Essenes
Keepers of the Garden
