Written by my good friend and Body Electronics icon, Dr Doug Morrison, this is essential reading for Body Electronics. Originally titled, "Body Electronics Fundamentals", it was actually the first BE book ever published. Now extensively revised and updated and in its second printing, this one has appeal to a much broader cross-section of the public.
Douglas Morrison - How We Heal: Understanding the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection
Frankly, I prefer Dr Joanna Budwig's oil books for her heart, but if you want a ton of researched facts and the science behind fats and oils, here it is. Erasmus is a real authority. After recently attending his free lecture in Auckland I now know he's not just an authority but a true passionate pioneer who has put in the hard yards to get the facts about fats out into the public eye. When he started out in the 1980's he had looked for the area where he could have the greatest impact on health - healthy fats is it and underpins an incredible mass of health issues.
Udo Erasmus - Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill
I love this book. It was perhaps the very first natural health book I ever bought and has served me faithfully ever since. Loaded with detail on practically every aspect of nutrition, I read it cover-to-cover. At 1000+ pages, you may just want to use it as a reference book.
Elson Haas - Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine - Twenty-First Century Edition
Ann Wigmore is a legend! She is truly passionate about wheatgrass - this is the lady who carries a stash of it in her handbag for all sorts of emergency situations when she is out and about. You may read books with more referenced facts, but you can't go past Wigmore for sheer enthusiasm, conviction and anecdotal brilliance.
Ann Wigmore - The Wheatgrass Book
To be perfectly honest, I haven't read this one, but the topic of raw milk and the health of the cows that make it is so important I figured it was worth the risk. I'd love to hear from anyone who has read it. Sally Fallon is an expert in her field.
Ron Schmid, Sally Fallon - The Untold Story of Milk: Green Pastures, Contented Cows and Raw Dairy Products
Another, "You can't go past this book" title. Edward Howell is without question the foremost authority on enzymes and he opened my eyes on them as the physical essence of life.
You can read more about why I recommend this book here.
Edward Howell - Enzyme Nutrition
I can't say I use this book in many practical ways due to its macrobiotic focus but I love it anyway. It's one of those books that always has an alternate insight.
Paul Pitchford - Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition
I use this a lot as a catch-all reference. I can't say I agree with everything, especially from a Body Electronics perspective, but when you have someone with questions about this or that condition, you don't yet know what kind of approach they'll be receptive to and you need some thought-starters, this is practically indispensable.
Phyllis Balch - Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-To-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements
Just because you aren't thirsty doesn't mean your body isn't craving water. You'll also be amazed at just how many diseases dehydration is implicated in. If you're looking for some extra motivation to drink more water, this'll do it.
Fred Batmanghelidj - Your Body's Many Cries for Water: You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty!, Don't Treat Thirst with Medications!, a Preventive and Self-Education Manual for those who prefer to adhere to the logic of the natural and the simple in medicine
Have I used the words, "mind-blowing" yet? You think that everyone's intestines run in the same direction, or that everyone has the same number of parathyroid glands? Guess again. We are more unique than you'd ever imagine. What you find in most anatomy books is just the "most common" anatomy observed, not the "only" anatomy. In some cases, "most common" only applies to 20% of people! Williams profoundly shatters any illusions that we all look or function the same on the inside.
Roger Williams - Biochemical Individuality
Well, no, I haven't read this one, but in my experience if it's Ann Wigmore then it's worth a read.
Ann Wigmore - The Blending Book
Ok. So I haven't read every book here, but the topic is important and it could be what you're looking for.
William Campbell Douglass - The Milk Book - The Milk of Human Kindness Is Not Pasteurized
Permaculture is such a fascinating topic. This book is loaded with mind-altering perspectives on ecology, food and health. It's a gem. Some great recipes for fermenting your food too.
Bill Mollison - The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition
Nope - haven't read it. We need more information about wheatgrass though - it is one of nature's absolute superfoods.
Li and Richard Smith - Wheatgrass: Superfood for the new Millennium
You may be wondering if I read many books at all...Sprouting is a survival skill and produces some of the cheapest, best tasting, vital and nutritious foods you can get. Even the least green-fingered of us can sprout successfully.
Steve Meyerowitz - Sprouts the Miracle Food: The Complete Guide to Sprouting
