My "Bible"

I wrote in my first post that the body needs two things to maintain good health.

A balance of vitamins is important. You don't know how important unless you educate yourself, and an excellent book to have in your library is this one:

"Let's Get Well" by Adelle Davis, published in 1965. It's a 476 page paperback book that I paid $2.25 for when published. This book has 'saved my bacon' on many occasions, and those I love as well.

You would not believe what physical ailments develop when mere vitamins are either missing from the diet, or are in very low amounts. The great thing is Adelle informs her readers of the necessary amounts to take to make corrections and regain the health. Don't ever fall for those simple "one-a-day-vitamins." They don't have enough of anything to give health to a flea, never mind a human body that deals with everyday stress and the more-than- occasional-sudden- crisis.

All stress creates a deficiency in the body. If the stress is of extremely short duration, the body can compensate temporarily; but if the condition continues for weeks, months and years you are going to find yourself the occupant of one very sick body.

This book can be purchased through Amazon.com
Here is a direct link:

There are probably other booksellers as well, but you will have to research those yourself. Amazon is also a good place to read reader's reviews so you can get a good 'feel' of this very important book. It's been reprinted since my 1965 purchase but here is a photo of my copy. The pages and cover are yellowed now. But I still use it whenever necessary.
