Back to Eden: Classic Guide to Herbal Medicine, Natural Foods and Home Remedies Since 1939 (Jethro Kloss Family Authorized Edition) Book

Readers and users of the original Back to Eden (called by some a "classic") know that Jethro Kloss was continually striving to make available a large amount of practical knowledge that would help others to achieve and maintain healthful and productive lives. The completion of this revised edition of Back To Eden, therefore, would surely please Jethro Kloss. A great deal of time and effort have been expended to enhance its content, organization, factual clarity, and readability. Undoubtedly, readers will be pleased to find the new volume more convenient to use than the earlier version. All the essential original material has been retained in this revised edition. Sections and paragraphs on the same or similar topics (scattered in various places throughout the first edition) have now been brought together and arranged in a logical order for ease and speed of reference. Medical terms have slowly but continually changed over the years. For example, few people today know the meaning of such words as "fleet" "teeters" and similar terms used during the 1920's and 1930's when Back To Eden was first written. Therefore, the vocabulary has been brought up to date, even though the old names are also retained from their historical interest. A number of vital topics (such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc) which were mentioned only briefly in the early work, have been substantially expanded, and many the timely topics have been incorporated. In addition, this revised text has new illustrations and photographs, new charts, new appendix and glossaries, and a new comprehensive index. To all those seeking improve health through natural means, this new edition of Back to Eden is dedicated. My sincere hope is that this revised and expanded Back to Eden will prove to be of even greater benefit than was the original book written by my father nearly fifty years ago.
