Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables
by Mike and Nancy Bubel

 

320 pages, 6 x 9 paperback with photographs and illustrations. $12. Printed 1991.

Use the earth's naturally cool, stable temperature as an energy-saving way to store nearly 100 varieties of perishable fruits and vegetables all year long. For generations, a root cellar was essential for keeping a supply of fresh fruit and veggies to eat through the cold seasons; maintaining one is a nearly lost skill that might just come in handy next year. This comprehensive guide will tell you how to build a root cellar under a variety of conditions; what foods keep best and for how long; and what the optimal conditions are and how to maintain them.

Nancy Bubel has been a gardening columnist for Country Journal magazine since 1975 and has written for Mother Earth News, Organic Gardening, Horticulture, Family Circle, Woman's Day and New Shelter magazines. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Society for Economic Botany, and a life member of both the Seed Savers Exchange and the Friends of the Trees Society.

A Poland native, Mike Bubel grew up with his family using many of the techniques in their book. He and his wife Nancy have been gardening and root cellaring in Philadelphia, in small towns, and on their one acre non-working farm in Wellsville, Pennsylvania.

The pH Miracle
Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health
by Robert O Young, Ph.D., Shelley Young

 

354 pages, Paperback. $12. Printed 2003.

The Right Body pH for Health
Never count calories, fat grams, or food portions again! Say good-bye to low energy, poor digestion, extra pounds, aches and pains and disease. Say hello to renewed vigor, mental clarity, better overall health, and a lean, trim body. The key? Your health depends on the pH balance of its blood, striking the optimum 80/20 balance between an alkaline and acidic environment provided by eating certain foods.

Revitalize Your Health
Now an innovative, proven effective diet program can work with your body chemistry and help revitalize and maintain your health. Rediscover the secrets of:
Breakfast, the low-carb, high-fiber meal that will be the biggest change you'll make The cleanse-a liquid detox to reduce your body's impurities and normalize digestion and metabolism Ridding your body of harmful bacteria, yeast, and molds Alkaline foods-tomatoes, avocados, and green vegetables-and how to mix them with mildly acidic foods like fish, grains, and certain fruits to create tempting and delicious meals Supplements-how to select, shop, and calculate the right dosage for you Water, the all-important drink-how to make sure yours is safe, pure, and plentiful.

Learn how to balance your life and diet with the incredible health benefits of this revolutionary program…The pH Miracle.

Weight Loss and pH
Forget counting calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now, THE pH MIRACLE unlocks the surprisingly crucial role pH balance plays in weight loss. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health and is controlled by diet. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic from eating too much of the wrong kinds of food-wheat, bananas, meats, and cheese-it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more. The Youngs' program includes over 50 recipes and explains which foods to eat, which to avoid, and which supplements can help on the way towards optimal health and weight loss. In just weeks, readers will find they have more energy and a stronger immune system, and will have shed pounds and inches.

Foreword by Jane Clayson, co-anchor, The Early Show.

In this book he shows you how to know when your body is crying for more water. The doctor states you can prevent, treat and even cure a wide variety of health problems at no cost. He says water is nature's miracle medicine. You learn how much water you need to drink each day to stay healthy, and why coffee, tea and soda are poor substitutes for water.

He has devoted his life's work to letting others know about the health benefits of drinking water with the right amount of salt. The book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" receives many testimonials from happy people who have reduced or elimated health problems using his water cure.
