Common Sense Health and Healing

I have read most of Dr. Richard Schulze's philosophy and practice in health and healing. His life and practices prove the truth and value of his teachings. He sells this book at 800herbdoc.com for $16.00.

It is such a shame to see someone so blinded by their anger that they paid too much for this book that they rated the BOOK with only 1 star -- when it was not the book their grudge was about but the price. Dr. Schulze's book is indeed advertised at $16 because that was the original price, but it is definitely out of print and no one is selling it for that price anymore. The reason it is being sold for higher than that price is because it is a VALUED book and the quantity is scarce in comparison to demand. I think the best way to give background for this book is to give some information about the author himself, from his weblink at Curezone: In his hunger to learn about natural healing methods, Richard Schulze studied under two great healers. The first was Bernard Jensen. Tuition fees at Jensen's health ranch were $900. Richard sold his car for exactly that amount and hitch-hiked to the ranch. He was able to pay the fee but when the students all left to stay in a motel at the end of the day, he realized he needed a place to sleep! Without anyone being the wiser, Schulze slept in a hollow in the hedge bordering Jensen's property throughout the course. In the morning, he showered using a yard sprinkler. Later at the school of famed herbalist, John Christopher, Schulze became a teacher and practitioner. Incurables came to the school for help and Schulze started to realize the extent to which people could be helped with herbs and natural healing methods. With experience, he became convinced that herbal formulas needed to be strengthened to meet the increasing toxicity of the environment and deteriorating food sources. Many traditional herbal formulas, he felt, were not strong enough for today's world. In the 1970's, when Schulze opened a clinic in California, he developed his own herbal preparations. Over a 20-year period, he often helped people who were dying. He quickly learned what it took to get people well. For those who came to him, he prepared potent herbal products using carefully chosen organically-grown herbs in high dosages. He developed a program for incurables and his clinic became known as a place where those who had no other hope would find help. Schulze says he was not trying to cheat death-he recognizes physical death as a natural and beautiful process. He says, "When we finally die after living a healthy natural lifestyle, what I have seen is we go with no pain, a big smile on our face..." Having said that he quickly points out that he respects the individual's freedom to choose: "Forcing someone to submit to natural healing is no different than someone forcing you to take drugs and have surgery." He admits, as well, that many people who entered his clinic were not willing to do what is necessary to reverse their diseases naturally. He would not work with anyone who wasn't fully committed to taking responsibility for their own health and to regaining health. He knew he had to be inconspicuous to avoid legal prosecution for treat

Great book. Easy to read. One will find they read it again and again. It is currently out of print and prices are through the roof. It is probably not worth 50 dollars. But keep looking - it is enjoyable.
