From Granny Earth’s Web site:

Body, mind and spirit- it’s all one, you know. And you can’t have one without the other- at least not here, on this Earth Plane- this time around. YES - they are all one. They can-not be separated. You cannot separate the spirit (energy) from the body (physical) from the mind (physic). AND- they can all work together for total health!

Read that again: They can all work together for total health.

If we simply learn what ancient healers knew- Great Spirit is Nature- is us- is ALL. Indigenous people, like the American Indians knew this too. The Divine Wisdom of Nature continues to show us the path to healing ourselves- if only we learn how to listen.

AND-The body is always talking to us!

We can learn to listen. We can ALLOW the Wisdom of the body to heal us.

Bloomer and her co-host, Jeannie Thomason, on Animal Talk Naturally and ATN Gone Wild radio shows co-authored an article last summer entitled “Be a Label Detective: How to Read and Understand Pet Food Labels” that was published in Animal Wellness Magazine’s Special Report Issue on the Pet Food Recalls of this past year. Animal Wellness Magazine asked us to write this article for this special report. Bloomer hopes that all of you who have pets will pick up a copy at your nearest Barnes & Nobel or Whole Foods or order a copy online.

Bloomer also has another article on aromatherapy for dogs coming out in Animal Wellness Magazine’s Holiday Issue, on newstands NOW! And yes dogs LOVE aromatherapy - so do horses!

Accem Scott, a CCNH 1992 graduate, was recently featured in the Citizen Times, a local Asheville, North Carolina newspaper. Scott and his wife, Eleanor Hancock, bought a 6-acre property on a remote mountainside in Haywood County with plans to start a retreat center. That was before they discovered that their high-forest property was a treasure trove of ginseng, black cohosh, bloodroot and a host of other native herbs.

About a year ago, they started a new company, Circle of Light Botanicals, in the Small Business Incubator at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College’s Enka campus.

“We want to help create a brand for herbs from this region,” Scott said (more).

From the book’s back cover:

In mid 20th century China, during the time of the Cultural Revolution, there was a great need for medical treatment and a sever shortage of medical practitioners, especially in the countryside. To remedy the situation, workers and farmers were trained in the prevention and treatment of disease. These people were known as Barefoot Doctors. The American Barefoot Doctor’s Manual was created in the spirit of these original barefoot doctors.
