This will date me, but in my early discernment period came across Adele Davis and her books - Let’s Get Well, Let’s Have Healthy Children, and Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit. Advocated massive Vitamin C, and so much more. Early books have been ‘updated’ but I keep the originals on hand for reference.

I have been following these tenets as well for 55 years after being diagnosed with SLE. Back then the Dr told me to stay away from meds, rather change diet, exercise, and reduce stress. It has worked so far, just turned 70.
Still got them on my bookshelf. A bit tatty now. Also have James Duke's The Green Pharmacy and Alice Duncan's Your Healthy Child. (On the other hand, everything I bought in the "Childbirth Without Fear" vein was crap...)
My daughter was an Adele Davis baby. 1972. She was never sick. No ear infections or such. I didn’t even believe in those hard stiff shoes toddlers wore then. She went barefoot. Outside digging in dirt.
I was always barefoot as a child, prefer to be barefoot now. We swam in some pretty funky streams and just rolled in mud. The ocean was our healer, and sunshine every day. I fear for these scared, masked-up kiddies, they will have so many problems, emotional and mental as well as physical. It's pure evil.
My mother read these books religiously and Adele Davis became part of my life when I was in my teens in the 1960s. I have taken Vit C my whole life since then and feel I am better off because of it. I've rarely gotten sick or had colds. The medical establishment worked hard to discredit Vitamin C, though, along with many other vitamins. Disgusting.
Yes, my mom was a big Davis disciple as well. Had all the books. We were raised on vitamins, Tiger's Milk, Brewer's yeast, and she served raw cauliflower with the de rigueur clam dip instead of potato chips. We had the first sprout jar and juicer anyone around us had ever heard of. So much has changed, now "health" is a commodity, something bought and sold, a symbol of elitism. You rarely hear about Adele Davis or Linus Pauling anymore. A few years ago I picked up a copy of Prevention magazine. Our whole family had been into it back in the day. I was shocked speechless to see it was filled with pharmaceutical ads on virtually every page. SMDH.
Haha, thank you. The “earlier discernment” came to full throttle in high school, much to the consternation of teachers who were not used to being challenged. Fortunately, have retained that questioning trait.
Thanks for this. Wife and I are looking into adopting our second set of children to raise, having successfully launched 5 adults so far.
But the last two years have seriously black-pilled us on the pharma-medical industry, and there's no freaking way I would let these bastards vax my next set of kids (though all of our previous kids were vaxxed for the usual stuff.)
Seriously need to get up to speed on *valid* homeopathic and health theory, tho I'm quite a bit down the "live a natural life outside, getting lots of sunshine, and eating real unprocessed food" already.

That's fantastic. I admire you!

ha! aren't they all?
Maybe it's just silly to trust a man telling you how to get through labor...
Haha. My doc didn’t allow the dad in to the birth. He had one dad drop to the floor and knock himself out so no more after that.
bwahahahah.. Though they all try, don't they?
Ya gotta see it to believe it.
Wow! Haven't heard that name for ages!
My Mom had all the books. I learned a lot.
Helped me see Big Pharma was not all...

Me too. Born in 72. God bless my mother. Healthy and still love digging in the dirt. I follow George Carlin's hygiene advice. Seems to be working...

Exactly! When spring came, my daughter would longingly ask if it was “bare-footin’ time”.

lucky kids, running wild and free and with the marvelous coping mechanisms their bodies naturally have
Mom raised us on her. Also Linus Pauling, Jethro Kloss, etc. Old school.
I met Dr Linus Pauling. He was a wonderful person. He was very disrespected by a number of people in the scientific community, respected as well.
