The Fords: An American Epic


Peter Collier - 1987
    The story begins with Henry I, the mechanical wizard, tinkerer, and mad genius who drove the automobile into the heart of American life and conquered the world with it. But in the end he became an embittered crank who so possessively loved the company he built that when his son, Edsel, tried to change it to suit the times, Henry destroyed him. It was left to Edsel's son, Henry II, to avenge him and save the Ford Motor Company. From the details of Henry I's illicit affair, which produced an illegitimate son, to the life and loves of "Hank the Deuce" and his celebrated feud with Lee Iacocca, this is an engrossing account of a vital chapter in American history. The authors have added a new preface to this now classic work, showing how Henry II's line lost out to the line of his brother William Clay Ford in the quest to control the company in the twentieth century.

A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases and the Cure of Advanced Cancer by Diet Therapy


Max Gerson - 1958
    Again the simple procedure applies that disease comes from an accumulation of inorganic toxic waste in weakened area's of the body, which cause an environment for disease to proliferate. There is now a support network in the UK for this treatment, but as with all naturopathic medicine it requires a lot of discipline and hard work to achieve results, just reading the book ain't gonna make you well! nevertheless it will give those who have been given up as dead a very good insight into the possibilities which can be achieved if the spirit is still strong and ready to fight. Personally I'd also recommend the work of Dr John R Christopher and Dr Richard Schulz who have taken Gerson's work to next level.
