Health and Nutrition
International
Natural Hygiene Society
The organization that carries on from the teachings of Dr. Herbert
Shelton, Tilden, and others. Anyone seeking a hygienic doctor,
or further knowledge of the subject, anyone wishing a supervised
fasting experience, should begin at this site. There are two other
NH organizations: the ANHS, Shelton's American Natural Hygiene
Society, changed name and bylaws in the 90's and now is National
Health Association, NHA --- with Dr. Burton, Dr. Scott, Dr.
Goldhamer, Dr. Sidhwa, etc etc. There also is Healthful
Living International --- with Dr. Vetrano, Dr. Sniadach, Dr.
Tim Trader, and others.
National Health Federation
Almost all non-allopathic healing systems are, in one way or another,
suppressed by the medical establishment—what has been called
The Medical Model. Attempts are constantly being made to eliminate
the use of non-patentable healing substances such as vitamins
and protomorphogens. Alternative or holistic therapists who have
remarkable success with "uncurable" (and highly profitable)
diseases like cancer or arthritis are often charged and jailed
and certainly their energies and efforts become focused on maintaining
personal liberty instead of helping the sick. The NHF is a centre
for resistance to these sorts of suppression and should be supported—even
when the system a person believes in is opposed to some of the
things the NHF is encouraging. What I mean by this is that Natural
Hygienists, who are oppposed ot the use of vitamins or other healing
substances, should still support the NHF, which also maintains
the right of the Hygienist to practice.

useful is their collection of articles on aspects of health and
nutrition. To view a list of them, click
here.
The Weston A. Price
Foundation
Another group supporting and promulgating the works of Weston
Price and others in that circle. The site is new (5 October 2000)
but promises to offer considerable information as time goes on.
International Foundation

A highly admirable group that publishes books of Royal Lee, Melvin
Page and others of similar orientation. The IFNH owns the copyrights

books published by the LFNR are available in this library and

Three American Institutions of Naturopathic
Studies
For those who wish to pursue a career as a practitioner,
these first two are fully accredited long-standing institutions
where one attends traditional chasses and becomes "properly"
licensed: National
College of Naturopathic Medicine Portland, Oregon; Bastyr
University, Seattle, Washington. The next, Clayton
College of Natural Health, Birmingham, Alabama, provides distance
education that, in the words of one of its teachers, " .
. .offer(s) something genuine . . . about than half our entering
students have on-campus college degrees, and a good many of these
already have a master's or higher, plus there are many others
who have a less-than-complete undergraduate education. We make
available programs that aren't found in most other (distance-education)
colleges, and lots of our students already work in one healthcare
field or another, so it seems to me that a many are using our
programs to add a natural health component to whatever they are
doing."
Health Research
Press
Since the early 1950s, has published many old hygiene texts in
rather crude form that resemble a bad photocopy or good quality
mimeograph bound with plastic comb. Get their catalog and support

Online Library in India
What an amazing discovery this was for me! Another LARGE online
library of full-text health books AND also several Indian online
magazines. Most of the material is "alternative medicine";
the library is done well and the data delivers fast. The Indian
holistic health tradition has long been in advance of western
medicine; there's a great deal to learn here.
Whale (Whale Books)
A broad assembly of useful data about holistic treatment of Cancer,
vaccination, medical politics and ethics, and other topics of
interest to its creator, including a full text version of Dr.

work. Also presents a UK bookstore stocking many interesting titles
in this area.
Orthomed
This site and its links introduces you to the world of orthomolecular
medicine. It offers a hefty selection of writings of Dr. Fred
Klenner. "Orthomolecular" means straightening out the
molecule; it involves curing by using vitamins and other vitamin-like
substances as drugs and medicines.
Fruitarian Network
A very useful place to initiate an exploration of the world view
and opinions of fruitarians--usually people who generally avoid
not only dairy and egg products, but also seed-based foods. And
believe this sort of diet is the key to all sorts of benefits.
Dr. Andrew Saul/doctoryourself.com
If you would enjoy access to a huge library of health-related
articles with an orthomolecular approach, on a website made by
a man with an outrageous sense of humor, who jokes about EVERYTHING,
try doctoryourself.com. Dr. Saul has also begun a free email newsletter
of admirable quality that can be subscribed to through his website.
Waisays
Nothing on this site is said (yet) about who (in Japan?) is putting
this great health-diet information on the www, but waisays offers
sensible, intelligent observation on correct eating. The idiosyncratic
and flamboyant style can be mind-blowing.
Sumeria
This site is attempting an online library much like soilandhealth.org,

Lantern Books
Here is one rare occasion when we will link to a site that is
selling product. But Lantern Books is doing somethings very right:
they are selling e-books online right along with their print-on-paper
versions, and the e-books are priced at about 1/3 the paper
book. This is righteous! Lantern Books are radical in orientation,
spiritual, essene christian (lower case "c" used intentionally).
They also promote love of animals and vegetarianism.
International Foundation for
Health and Nutrition
Find here a unique library of nutritionally-based health systems
including the inspired writings of Melvin Page and Royal Lee and
others. Royal Lee, especially, was a powerful force for health-freedom,

time visiting. Again and again.

largely of esoteric/alternative orientation - muchly out of frustration

Finding Books
ABE Book Exchange
A clearing house for used book dealers worldwide. Using an ABE
search will, in a few seconds online, turn up numerous sources
offering books of any given title or the works of any author.
The prices are often reasonable and the suppliers can all be depended
upon--so far at any rate. Many of the titles being worked on for
the Soil and Health Library are now coming from this source. Far
better and less expensive than Amazon.com for finding used, out
of print books.
Bibliofind
Another source the equal of ABE Book Exchange. Sometimes a particular
supplier's offering of a given title will appear on one of these
two sources and not on the other. Usually though what one has
the other has too.
