Title:
Using old knowledge to offset modern ills.

When this book first came out, I was recovering from a bad auto accident and had a chance to read it as a new book in the early 1970s. I swore at the time that I d get a copy eventually for myself. The last thing I expected was to forget about it until nearly 50 years later.

I can t wait to see what I remembered correctly or how far off I was:

Okay, the first several chapters are what I remembered. It dealt with an aspect of fencing which I was learning at the time (best described as “Tactic of Mistake” mostly because I can t remember the actual term.) :)

The lessons learned then are surprisingly still true today. From military to political to medical. Just because time has past, in no way means that all must change. Only that the possibility is there, if the force/guidance is around will they change.

The medical lessons are hinted at early and actually start in chapter 7 and are much as I remembered them. They helped me do what I ve done so far in my life, and I hope that relearning them I ll be able to make the rest of my life easier.

{Getting through this book slowly and re learning/refreshing my knowledge, is what s taking longer than my normal speed. However, seeing some of the effects of relearning this type of medicine more than makes up for it.}

Even though I now own a copy, I m reading and relearning the medical aspects since they are still applicable today. It sort of makes me wonder why the AMA doesn t pass on actual cures anymore.

Antibiotics have been abused so much, that we now have antibiotic resistant viruses.

Don t get me wrong thinking that I m against high tech medicine, I m not. There are times and conditions where it can be very beneficial to have access to it. Why do so many people have to get flu/pneumonia/et cetera shots yearly when your body s own microbiome can take better care of each individual, than a research company guessing which single virus is going to be “big/highly profitable” this year.

What s even worse is the fact that you can t sue the medical doctors if their vaccines were for the wrong virus (it s against the law (federal law), so they are actually above the law), and even if people die, they are untouchable.

For my personal day to day life, the techniques described helps me live.

While the general population doesn t have total access to the practices described in the book, what we do have could improve the average person s life. The American Medical Association would disagree since it enables the individual rather than keeping that same individual loaded down with their drugs. {I m sorry, after reading some of the “medications” I m taking (was taking) have a possible side effect: of death and the AMA is perfectly fine with that. I m not! I ll do my best to eradicate them out of my life!}

I read this book on my iPhone (iBooks).
