“Where There Is No Doctor” Free PDF book

http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download_wtnd.php

Health care is not only everyone’s right, but everyone’s responsibility.

Informed self-care should be the main goal of any health program or activity.

• Ordinary people provided with clear, simple information can prevent and treat most common health problems in their own homes—earlier, cheaper, and often better than can doctors.
• Medical knowledge should not be the guarded secret of a select few, but should be freely shared by everyone.
• People with little formal education can be trusted as much as those with a lot. And they are just as smart.
• Basic health care should not be delivered, but encouraged.

Some of the book’s instructions may not apply, or are invalid such as any referral to Sodium Fluoride as being good for the teeth. However, the bulk of the material is valuable, so please use common sense when figuring out how to apply the health-care methods proposed in this book.

Again, and I cannot emphasize strongly enough; we need to be prepared, and we need to start now. Stocking up on food and supplies is only a temporary fix. When the food and supplies run out, we need to know how to replace them. Learning how to grow your own food and take care of basic medical needs are necessary survival skills that we will all need to develop or simply go without. • http://survivingthemiddleclasscrash

& medicinal plants.

http://www.learningherbs.com/wildcraft.html

Wildcraft! is great family fun. Gather up the kids, bring out the board game, and learn about medicinal and edible plants in the most fun way imaginable. This is wonderfully cooperative game where everyone is a winner and everyone learns something about plants!
–Rosemary Gladstar, Author of many, many herbal books

Wildcraft! teaches you 25 important edible and medicinal plants and their uses in mostly first aid situations. (Wildcrafting is the harvesting of wild plants). It also teaches team work, for you will rely on each other’s knowledge of plants and good fortune to make it to the Huckleberry Patch and safely back to Grandma’s.

Wildcraft! is a great introduction to the world of edible and medicinal herbs for children of ALL ages. It’s a beautifully illustrated, nature based, cooperative game created in the tradition of the classic board games.
