Toe Antoinette Pienaar, Afrikaanse sangeres en aktrise, die eerste keer staan voor oom Johannes Willemse, legendariese Griekwa-heler, sê hy: “Hier kom Juffrou nou eers aan!” Want toe het oom Johannes al byna veertig jaar lank drome gekry van die vrou met die rooi bakkie aan wie hy sy kennis sou oordra. Kennis wat terug tot in die antieke verskiet van oupa na kleinseun aangegee is. Ná jare se vakleerlingskap het die eerste uitgawe van Kruidjie Roer My verskyn. Dié boek oor wat Karookruie vir jou kan doen het sy plek as klassieke werk ingeneem. In Kruidjie Roer My hoor ’n mens die warm stem van Antoinette soos duisende luisteraars na haar gewilde rubriek op rsg dit ken: vol begrip en deernis, altyd met ’n staaltjie en boweal die ruimhartige mededeling van haar kennis en oom Johannes se wysheid wat nie net na jou liggaam omsien nie, maar ook jou gees dokter. ’n Boek vol mooi name, soos kokkoromoniet, rooivergeetwortels en louhout. En met ’n weelde aan stories en raad wat nou weer beskikbaar is.

Hierdie boek is waarskynlik een van die mees ongewone wat jy ooit sal lees - een wat jou denke oor gesondheid en jou hantering van stres in die daaglikse lewe sal verander. Weefselsoute - ook bekend as sel- of biochemiese soute - is 'n groep van 12 minerale wat perfek gebalanseerd in ons liggame teenwoordig behoort te wees sodat ons heeltemal gesond kan wees. Die soute word in die natuur in die aarde se gesteentes en grond aangetref en kom natuurlik voor in gewasse wat organies in mineraalryke grond gekweek is. Maar met die vinnige tempo van die moderne lewe en die tydbesparende gemors- en geprosesseerde kos wat ons geneig is om te eet, ontbreek dit in ons liggame en word ons vatbaar vir'n wye reeks kwale. Margaret Roberts deel in hierdie boek haar uitgebreide ervaring van hoe om die dieet met weefselsoute aan te vul en hoe dit nie net goeie gesondheid bevorder nie, maar ook spesifieke kwale behandel - in die vorm van 'n tablet wat maklik is om te neem of deur middel van druppels. Margaret beklemtoon dat dit ook belangrik is om baie vrugte, groente en kruie ryk aan die bepaalde minerale te eet, en die name daarvan verskyn in elke hoofstuk. Weefselsoute is binne almal se bereik omdat hulle goedkoop en geredelik by apteke oral in die land beskikbaar is. Dit is die natuur se manier om 'n moee, afgematte liggaam weer blakend gesond te maak en wakker en positiewe denke te herstel.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book Gut and Psychology Syndrome captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work. She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. In her clinic, parents discuss all aspects of their child's condition, confident in the knowledge that they are not only talking to a professional but to a parent who has lived their experience. Her deep understanding of the challenges they face puts her advice in a class of its own.

The book follows Hahnemann during his struggles to have Homeopathy accepted, his determination, his marriage to Melanie, his final years in Paris and his death in 1843. This book has been well researched and contains great detail. Rosa Hobhouse has used the private letters of Hahnemann to enable us to see the person, the poet, the humanitarian, the loving father and the compassionate defender of human rights that Hahnemann was. This is a fascinating insight to Hahnemann the person and to Germany at the time of Hahnemann. |
