"Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Each one of the substances in a person's diet, acts upon the body and changes it in some unique way, and upon these changes the whole life depends, whether in health, in sickness or convalescent."

Hippocrates 2 000 years ago.

Many hundreds of hours have been spent researching the information supplied in this website, and we would like to acknowledge the Authors of the incredible books that have been used to back up our Home Remedies.

We offer practical self-help, and at the same time stress the importance of ensuring that this self help is used in conjunction with a professional medical practitioner.

We have also taken this self help one step forward by systematically introducing pages on the different natural vegetables and fruits and detailing what they are good for and why.
