Jake Anthony

The driving force behind this series

of publications was born in England,

just one year into World War Two.People dying not in combat

but from health problems relating

to lifestyle, including his own parents,

was the life-amending catalyst

which launched Jake Anthonys

lifelong interest in health, fitness and

life extension - and a search for

answers.

A wish to become a professional actor and writer was ful-

filled through hard work and dedication against the odds, and Jake

Anthony obtained a degree of celebrity over the years. His work

as a character actor can still be seen on TV from time to time.

Jake also became one of the most published writers whonobody knows about! This was due to his work going mainly

uncredited as an internationally published journalist in advertising

and PR; under pseudonyms as author, with many to-kill-for re-

views; and as editor and/or ghost writer for others. Jake had a

couple of small best sellers in the East and the West, and is the

man behind a handful of cult novels which change hands for

large sums via on-line booksellers.

Another life-amending incident occurred when his extremely

fit and healthy actor and stunt man son, died from an interaction

between prescribed drugs. Like Lord Jim - Joseph Conrads char-

acter in the book and movie - Jake left his homeland and wan-

dered the Orient for 20 plus years trying to make sense of it all.

This was interrupted by a series of health disasters at the

hands of the allopathic medical system in the West which would

have killed most people. Ironically, they were initiated by prescribed

drugs that were supposed to cure, not kill. This was added to by

the Western system of treating the symptom rather than fully iden-

tifying the cause.Jakes series of the potential lifestyle based killers included

cancer, crisis level hypertension, borderline type-2 diabetes, acute

and chronic pancreatitis, and gallstones. As prescribed drugs had

initiated his series of interlinked health disasters - and time after

time exacerbated them - Jake turned his back on the Western

medical system and from then on utilised nutritional, holistic andalternative therapies known about for thousands of years in the

Orient and the East. His host of ailments regressed or were con-

trolled, and extra decades of life were obtained. Some joint prob-

lems came later, but you would not believe it when you see the

author pumping iron and skipping (jump rope) like an in-shape boxer.

tifying the cause.

The authors beating the odds experience and use of ho-listic and alternative therapies, almost certainly played a part in his

survival. The How To and Why are detailed in this series of

books. Jakes fit and youthful appearance belies the fact that he is

technically a senior citizen, well over the age of retirement.

Knowledge is power. Your choice.

Foreword

Naturopathic and Folk Remedies have proven safe and effec-

tive for centuries in the West. In India and the Orient, natural

remedies have been used for up to five thousand years. Gall-

bladder and liver detox cleanses were used by the Ancient

Egyptians, and they still work.

Antibiotics and drugs have many adverse side effects.As such, natures ingredients are regaining their prominence

as a safer and more efficacious alternative to modern day drugs.

It is little known that herbal treatments for the Western

worlds lifestyle based scourges - AIDS, cancer and diabetes -

have been registered for use by doctors and scientists in Thai-

land, Vietnam and China. Similarly, herbs long used in tradi-tional Ayurvedic Medicine in India, and traditional Chinese

Medicine, to treat malaria without adverse side-effects, have

proven more effective than conventional drugs.

Details of some of these simple yet almost revolutionary

treatments are included in this reader-friendly, ultimate guide

to aromatherapy, flower remedies and homoeopathy.

The authors beating the odds experience and use of ho-listic and alternative therapies, almost certainly played a part in his

survival. The How To and Why are detailed in this series of

books. Jakes fit and youthful appearance belies the fact that he is

technically a senior citizen, well over the age of retirement.

ESSENTIAL HERBAL OILS

Aromatherapy is the ancient art of using aromatic oils found in

plants to benefit the health of mind and body. These natural oils are

called essential because they are the very essence or heart of

every flower or herb.

Because of its essential oil, every plant has its own charac-

teristic and aroma. Any part of a plant may contain its essential oil

- flowers, leaves, fruit, stems, wood, bark, roots or resin.

Essential oils work upon the body directly through the skin,

or via the olfactory organs - our sense of smell. Each essential oilhas a range of therapeutic benefits which take effect as the oil is

absorbed through the skin into the blood stream, or as its specific

aroma is sensed or inhaled.

Extracting even a tiny amount of precious oil takes a great

deal of work. For instance, it requires 8 million blossoms to pro-

duce one kilo of jasmine oil, and the flowers have to be hand-picked before the sun becomes hot on the day they open. It is

hardly surprising that some essential oils are expensive. However,

others are very low cost.

The word aromatherapy was coined in the 1920s, when

the French chemist Gattefosse accidentally discovered the healing

powers of lavender when he burnt his hand. He applied lavender

oil to the wound and found that his hand healed quickly and withoutscarring. Inspired by the discovery, he spent the rest of his life

studying the powers of essential herbal oils.

Aromatherapy is highly regarded as an effective form of

complementary medicine, with recognised physical and emotional

benefits. As a result, more and more people are embracing a holis-

tic approach to healing by treating the whole person.

A number of plants and herbs contain antiseptic properties

in their oils; others possess antibacterial properties. In times past -

before the age of Big Pharma - many herbal oils were used to

ward off infection from plague and other epidemics.

In addition to their usage in food and drink - peppermint an

obvious example - essential oils can be used in the bath to stimu-

late or relax; in massage, which is one of the most therapeutic

ways of using an essential oil; in burners as a natural way to disin-

fect or scent the air; as an inhalant to clear the head; as a com-

press to help relieve aches and pains; as hair and scalp condition-

ers; in cosmetic and beauty products; and as natural perfumes.Essential herbal oils can be particularly helpful in dealing

with stress. Check out the following charts to discover which herbal

oils can potentially help you with your own personal needs.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Herbal oils are very powerful. Far more so than the herb fromwhich they are taken. You can eat the leaf or seed of a herb. With

very few exceptions, you cannot drink or ingest herbal oils. The

advice of a qualified aromatherapist is recommended.

If you are pregnant or suffer from epilepsy, diabetes, fractures,

recent scars, have an abnormal temperature, are taking medica-

tion, or have abnormal swellings, massage with herbal oils shouldonly be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.
