Dedication
Rosemary Gladstar, Susun Weed, and David Hoffmann for
knowing (and living) that it is essential to risk exposing the deep-
est weaknesses of the self for the work that we are here to do to
come through. Matthew Wood for having the courage to begin
finding a unique Western herbal diagnostic system and for being
the first to publicly say that Samuel Thompson knew what he was
doing. Mary Shelley for bringing the dangers of our times so
clearly into story form and into our collective consciousness.
Acknowledgments
Thanks to Barbara Griggs for the Latin quotation in the Epilogue which is from the Middle Ages text, A Treatise on
Scurvy . Thanks are also due to Paul Bergner and K. P. Khalsa for the excellence of their clinical work and research, and
to Marc Lappé for understanding that bacterial resistance is an ecological and not an overuse problem.
