He discusses everything he can think of here. While some of his viewpoints and procedures are now frowned upon and a few of the herbal remedies taken to the degree he suggests now believed to be dangerous the large bulk of his remedies and procedures is still regarded as safe and, in some circles, preferable to things available in modern medicine and society.
Everything from his personal life and influences, to farming techniques, crops, growing fruits and vegetables, an extensive listing of fruits, veggies, minerals, vitamins, the history of herbal medicine, herbs, their uses, the body system, the health benefits of water, fish, fresh air, exercise, sleep patterns, oatmeal, fiber, breads, salts, milk, etc is included here.
He even gives his favorite baking recipes, natural ways to make breads, cakes, soups and more, as well as hints on preserving vitamins, cooking utensils to avoid and use, not to mention desserts and beverages.
One really fascinating thing about this book is the large section devoted to water and hydrotherapy. Here we get a rundown of the history of the water cure, various ways to use water to treat from saunas to foreign bath treatments temperatures to use when a person is ill to fit their condition, and much much more. Excellent!
This massive bible of sorts ends with various enemas and their purposes, charcoal, guides for people wanting to be a nurse, and different massage techniques!
Sure, a little of it is outdated but most of it stands true today and shall forever. The man is to respected, and his remedies and treatments are invaluable.
Many of his formula is similar or almost identical to the great Dr. John R Christophers, another pioneer of herbal medicine, the modern Dr. Schulz who has a following of his own, and several other herbalists, naturopaths, massage therapists, hydrotherapists, and nutritionists.
And, even more incredibly, it's under 10 bucks to own amazing considering its offering.
Buy it? Of course! Why wouldn't you?This book has a wealth of information. I have helped and healed many people with this book. J. Kloss is someone I have looked up to since I discovered his book back in the late 70's when I had a hormonal imbalance and wasn't getting any answers from doctors. I discovered many herbs for women's health. He was a true genius. His approach to illness is confident, filled with wisdom, knowledge and and comfort. Not like some of the doctors of today. ...I depend on his skills, and that is alot to say about this man. My paperback has been used so much it fell apart so I have to buy a hardcover one. There is still so much to learn. Please, don't ever stop printing this book.Thirty-two years ago, my first child was born. I ran to the Pediatrician for every little thing. One day it dawned on me that my parents and grandparents didn't do that. My grandmother a Cherokee Indian used all types of herbs and other home remedies.
The deeper I looked into "Back to Eden" the more I realized the importance of understanding the medicinal qualities of foods and herbs. This book improved my parental abilities to care for my family, by providing healthier alternatives to drugs.
We all know from the media about the horror stories of dangerous side-effects from some of todays' prescription medications. It is increasingly important for consumers to read labels to determine what adverse side effect may result from those medications. Labels now help us to determine the contents of foods that may also, be hazardous to ourselves and our family's health.
This book, "Back to Eden" has reduced needless trips to the doctors office and improved the overall quality of life and health for me and my family.
Thanks Jethro Kloss

Back to Eden is a classic. The author Jethro Kloss was a true master of herbal and natural medicine. Flip the book open to any page and your are sure to find some useful and interesting information. To paraphrase from the book, Jethro says that The Devil can bring about no disease which The Lord does not provide a cure for in nature.

Jethro Kloss has created a masterpiece tomb of cleanses, herbs, and natural remedies. I feel honored to have his words and wisdom available at my disposal with the flip of a few pages.
DREXAR the Warrior
(Author of The Vacation Diet)Along with Adelle Davis' Eat Right To Keep Fit, this is the first truly in-depth health tome I ever read, twenty years ago this spring. Since then I have read maybe 500 books on health and not one comes close to being this thorough, bs-free, and intelligently written.
Kloss speaks directly and entirely from personal experience; as a country doctor a hundred years ago, he learned from nature and old-school traditional truths. The pill-sellers weren't around yet, and everything in this book comes from hands-on use with thousands of patients.
There is nothing "radical" in this book, except by today's painfully unhealthy standards. There is a wonderfully thorough list of herbs and what they do. There is serious discussion of what good food can do for you. There are simple steps to take to be 100% disease-free. Practically everything you really need to know about health is in this book. No joke.
Kloss showed me the truly miraculous properties of cayenne pepper, and for that alone I am forever grateful. One day "science" will realize what a panacea this stuff is and market it accordingly. Then again, they probably already know, but there's not enough cash in it for them. Disease is very big business; health is merely an impediment to huge corporate profits. Kloss knew this and wrote accordingly.
The guy is like the genius grandfather you wish you had, who knows everything about everything and wants to share it all with joy and wisdom. Simply reading this book makes you feel good. Actually following its precepts will make you feel phenomenally good.
Kloss also introduced me to enemas, one of his most essential treatments, as was the case throughout most of recorded history in most advanced cultures. People wrinkle their nose at the word now only because modern medicine has gone out of its way to hide the incredible power of colon cleansing as the quickest way to heal the body from almost all ills. Read what Kloss says on the subject and see if it doesn't resonate deep within you (as it were).
There is so much good advice and wisdom on all things health-related--including food---in Back To Eden that it is truly the single finest overall book on health that is available, to my knowledge. And I've read a few. It's also a very handy reference guide to safely treating almost all illness easily, simply, and safely. It was the bible of the back to nature movement in the 60s, and for very good reason. There is still no competition.
Buy this book for yourself and anyone else that you truly love and want to see live the longest, happiest, healthiest life possible.
The real truths about living a good life are indeed very simple.
Wherever you are, Dr. Kloss, I love you, brother.
You truly changed my life.
Not bad for a ten-dollar book.
