principle for civilization." In his 1992 book, Al
Gore also wrote:
5. "Plan B 2.0", by Lester
R. Brown, president

devastation wrought by breakneck industrialization and
the heedless, auto-centric, "throwaway economy. Fortunately,

Diet Change for our future and that of our planet
1. "Diet for a New America",
by John Robbins. Robbins covers
factory farming, health & nutrition,
and the environmental benefits of vegetarian diets. The
content has been meticulously researched, with Robbins
offering dozens of pages of footnotes. If you're looking
for a book with solid, hard proof of how vegetarians easily
get plenty of protein, why meat is the #1 killer in the
U.S., or how badly farm animals are treated, you won't
do better than this volume. Diet for a New America has
been credited with launching the second wave of vegetarianism
in the U.S. when it was published (and nominated for a
Pulitzer) in 1987. It's still timely today. www.foodrevolution.org.
2. "The China Study", by T. Colin Campbell,
PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II. Quoting David Klein, Publisher/Editor
of Living Nutrition Magazine; "The China Study is
the most important book on nutrition and health to come
out in the last 75 years. Everyone should read it, and it
should be the model for all nutritional programs taught
at universities. The reading is engrossing if not astounding.
The science is conclusive. Dr. Campbell's integrity and
commitment to truthful nutrition education shine through.
3.
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has
been a strong advocate for nutrition and health, food safety,
alcohol policy, and sound science since 1971. CSP is a

health and nutrition, and to provide consumers with current,
useful information about their health and well-being. www.cspinet.org.

The International Vegetarian Union (IVU), founded
in 1908 when the first World Vegetarian Congress was held

Vegetarian Society; the first Congress was organized internationally
by the British Society. Since then a series of World Congresses
have been held all around the world. This is a non-profit
organization that can be used to find some unique vegetarian
recipes for those seeking to enjoy their vegetarian diet
choices. They can be found at www.IVU.org.

CANCER COVER-UP
1. "Politics in Healing" by Daniel Haley is
a book with information about alternative treatments that
have been intentionally withheld from public knowledge.
It explains who has prevented the truth from being revealed
and how they got away with it. A must read for people that
wonder why "everyone" doesn't know about this
or that treatment option.
2. "Racketeering in Medicine",
The Suppression of Alternatives, by Dr. James P. Carter. Exposes how Americans
are being deprived of effective, economical treatments
because those treatments are not highly profitable for
surgeons and pharmaceutical companies.
3. "Dr. Max Gerson: Healing the Hopeless" by,
Howard Straus. Howard Straus, the grandson of Dr. Max Gerson,
discusses the struggles this medical pioneer faced as he
challenged orthodox medicine with his nutritional protocol.
The biography follows Dr. Gerson through Nazi persecution,
then persecution in the United States from the medical
establishment, the continuation of his work despite the
opposition, his questionable death and finally the present,
where daughter Charlotte Gerson and the Gerson Institute
work to continue his legacy and vision. His most famous
patient was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who was 75 years old
when Gerson cured him of advanced diabetes. Schweitzer

Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history

another book with a new twist regarding alternative treatments.
Professor Gearin-Tosh of Oxford University In Oxford, England
tears into the "diagnosis" that is given him
by the expert oncologist's in England and the U.S. His prognosis
was quite grim, being diagnosed with an aggressive form
of multiple myeloma. The best-case scenario he was given
was a "possible" 3-year life extension with treatment
(Chemo & radiation). This book was written 8 years
after he received that news. He gives new interesting insight
that reveals the great difference between the medical community's
definitions of common English words (diagnosis) and our
traditional understanding of those words. The book also
describes the treatments that he is using to assure his
FAR longer than expected abundant life.
