Sojourn to Honduras Sojourn to Healing

Usha Village Healing Center in Honduras, Central America is the setting for Sojourn to Honduras Sojourn to Healing. Author Beverly Oliver weaves into her personal story of health and healing two things: advice and anecdotes from pathologist and herbal medicine specialist Dr. Sebi, and an invitation to everyone in search of good health and nutrition to join the global food debate. In this paperback, the author says, 'Let me share with you why I journeyed to Honduras and why the trip became a personal crusade to join the global food and health debate. It's a debate steeped in issues about organic versus nonorganic food and whether food is nourishing or simply a palatable stimulant. . .My disclaimer, however, is I am not an herbalist, nutritionist, doctor or scientist but a seeker, an inquirer, and after all I've been through with asthma, a lover of good health and delicious healthy food.' One of the themes in the book is creative weaning, creative substitution, a way to gradually move from high dairy, high starch food to natural alkaline food. For instance, readers will discover mashed chickpeas are a good alternative for mashed potatoes. Almond milk and maple sugar are healthy natural alkaline substitutes to put in cereal. An Acid/Alkaline Food Chart appears on pages 32 and 33. The Appendix includes a Fruit and Vegetable Guide and Recipes.
