The kombucha tea fungus is a health drink that costs very little. The fungus reproduces itself and, therefore, is capable of being passed on. It enables people to use an alternative to conventional medicine for the treatment of health problems. This publication addresses the questions raised and the problems encountered by brewers of the fungus. It gives tips for more successful brewing and better results in using the brew. There are recipes for skin creams, for its use as poultices and in baths, and for helping animals. The book includes detailed case histories of people who have been helped with arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, ME, high blood pressure, skin complaints, asthma and digestive problems. Doctors and other medical practitioners provide encouraging reports of their patients who have used this immunity-enhancing and de-toxifiying elixir.
As a publisher of mind-body-spirit books for 35 years, I felt that of all the books I had published (which included Jonathan Livingston Seagull in 1972), the 6 books on Viktor Schauberger's insights into Nature's workings were the most significant.
However, when I realised that they appealed mainly to a more specialised audience, I decided to write Hidden Nature, to bring Schauberger's topical research up to date for a wider audience. I was part of the editorial team that published Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962, and ever since have been campaigning against our society's violation of Nature.
My latest book The Story of Water (US ed. The Spiritual Life of Water) was published in 2010. I am now working on its sequel: The Life of Gaia. (website: www.AlickBartholomew.co.uk)
