In Robert's first book, Official Pocket Survival Manual, he touches on medicinal plants. In this book he goes into the subject in depth.
The book is divided into 3 parts:
Introductory Plant Survival Material
Medical Problems and Proper Plant Remedies, and
The Plants and Their Pictures
The 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 7/10" , 275 page book is exquisitely laid out, with instructions on making compresses, decoctions, infusions, liniments, poultices, teas, tinctures and washes. The medical problems are listed alphabetically from Abrasions to Wounds and include such wide-ranging items as Arthritis, Cough Syrup, Diarrhea, Frostbite, Headache, Insomnia, Parasites (ah! at last a way to dispatch uncle Igor!), Ringworm, Splinters, Tonsillitis, Toothache, Ulcers, Varicose Veins, Warts, and that's just touching the surface. Robert lists the medicinal plants that have been used for centuries (in some cases for millennia) to alleviate the pain or cure the problem.
To quote from Robert's book:
Approximately 80 percent of the world's people rely on folk medicine for treatment of their illnesses. People in developing areas of the world depend wholly upon the sometimes strange practices of a local healer, medicine man or witch doctor. Many of their unique plant concoctions are as effective as modern medications in the civilized world.
American Indians, by necessity, developed a vast expertise in plant medicines. And early settlers from England and Western Europe brought to the New World their knowledge of medical treatment with plants. Herbal home remedies were handed down in those families over many generations.
In Colonial days, there were no drugstores to be found on street corners and few, if any, trained doctors. People had no choice but to rely on homemade medicines. Plant remedies developed by the Colonists and Indian tribes worked well. It goes without saying that the greatest pharmacy in the world is found in plants scattered throughout the countryside. When properly used, these plants have incredibly effective medicinal properties. Plants can and should be utilized when faced with an emergency medical situation or where survival may be in question. The Official Pocket Medicinal Plant Survival Manual is designed to show you exactly what to do
Robert is not a medical doctor, and doesn't even play one on TV. He does not advocate that anyone abandon bona fide medical treatment and/or surgery for diseases or conditions that warrant such. However, this gigantic (yet compact) work of his should be in everyone's survival pack, backpack, first aid kit and glove compartment.
Folks, are you aware that right now, in England, it takes a DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION to buy a bottle of 100 ASPIRIN?! The most you can buy without one is eight (8). Governments are wanting to control anything that helps people, makes people healthier or cures people. Without a drastic change in the way this country is headed, we, too, will soon have prescriptions for aspirin and other common remedies ... even for vitamins.
Owning this book puts you ahead of the curve. In my opinion, it's a "must have."
