from Pharmacy Made Simple · host Pharmacy Made Simple
A Vermont native who spent fifty years studying the health practices and diet of his state's long-living mountain folk. The text promotes folk medicine, particularly the Vermont version, as a preventive approach to health based on observing nature and animal instincts. Key elements of this folk medicine include maintaining an acidic urine reaction to ward off illness and using natural, unrefined substances like honey, kelp, and apple-cider vinegar for various ailments such as colds, arthritis, and high blood pressure. The author argues that minerals lost from the soil are concentrated in the sea, making kelp and other sea products essential dietary supplements, and he further discusses the importance of the mineral potassium for bodily functions and longevity, noting that following these simple natural laws can prolong one's life span and vigor.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Medicine-Vermont-Doctors-Guide-Health/dp/B002ZCTJL2?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=9c1ba5b6867ad7425f68d6a597027af9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
