I have shared a lifetime collection of ideas for good health and the prevention of illness with some biographical information. Alphabetical numbers beginning with A, list the diseases and thoughts I have on other subjects beginning with A. It was inspired by my childhood recovery from a Murmur of the Heart and turned eye after being in hospital for measles in 1943. At that time, the doctors said there was no cure, and I would just slow up and die. I certainly remember the shocking cramps and dizzy turns. Our house burned to the ground, and we had to go to a boarding house in Springwood, Blue Mountains. The owner took one look at me and told my mother to go to Sydney to see Mr Jansen, who was an osteopath, iridologist, homeopath, herbalist and an astrologer. This was how I came to be here now.
