Three real pages from the book

Three pages per remedy. Where it comes from, how it works, how to do it.

These are pages 114 to 116, exactly as they are in the book: the garlic jar from the video. Swipe the book to turn the page. Every one of the 101 remedies has the same three:

  1. 1Where it comes from. Who did this, where and when, with the real source: Egypt, 1550 BC, the Ebers Papyrus. What those people knew without our words. And why it was forgotten: penicillin, 1943, and the bottle that was sold for a cold anyway.
  2. 2How it works, in plain words, with a drawing of what happens inside the body. Crushed garlic makes allicin in ten minutes; honey keeps it stable for days. Once you know why, you'll use it right and you'll know when to stop.
  3. 3How to do it. When, and how long. What you need, what to do step by step, what to leave. And the twist: the part your grandmother knew and nobody told you.
They weren't forgotten. They were replaced, by things with a price tag. I'm not against medicine. I'm against being sold a bottle for something a kitchen can fix.From the book, page 5

All over the world, all through time

Every culture wrote them down. Ours forgot them in one generation.

The Roman soldier's garlic. The Korean grandfather's honey and jujube. The Chinese steamed pear. The elder's bark tea under the acacia. For most of history this was common knowledge in every house. Silas collected a hundred and one of them in one book: where each one comes from, who used it, why it was forgotten, and how to do it tonight. India, Rome, Egypt, China and Greece gave the most, and a map at the front puts all 101 at the place they were first written down.

An elderly Korean man grating ginger over a clay jar of honey, jujube and lemon beside it
KoreaHoney, jujube and lemon in a clay jar, for the skin, the hair and the nails.
An elderly Chinese woman lifting the lid from a clay pot with a steamed pear, rock sugar and ginger
ChinaA pear steamed with rock sugar and ginger, for the throat and the cold.
A Maasai elder grinding bark and leaves in a wooden mortar
East AfricaBark and leaf, ground and steeped, for the fever and the gut.
A Roman herbalist crushing garlic and herbs in a marble mortar
RomeGarlic and thyme, crushed in oil, for the heart and the wound.

Nobody can patent a clove of garlic. That is why nobody advertises it, and why it was forgotten.

Who wrote this

Silas Kerr

I have spent my life on one question: what does the body need, and where in nature does it already exist?

Most of what is in this book is older than any of us. It worked for your grandparents because they had nothing else. It still works, because your body has not changed. What has changed is everything around it, and that is why so many people have forgotten what was in every kitchen a generation ago.

You will not find a supplement, a clinic or a subscription in here. Lemons, honey, a cabbage leaf, salt water, the last thirty seconds of the shower. Nobody can patent them, so nobody will ever advertise them. That is how you know they are worth reading.

The six field guides, and a seventh for free

Silas wrote six field guides. This is where to start.

Ancient Forgotten Remedies shows you what to make. The others go deeper. Take all six and the seventh, The Truth About Ancient Medicine, comes free.

Before you go

A few honest answers.

Is this medical advice?

No. The book shares traditional and food-based remedies for everyday complaints. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace your doctor. If you take medication, are pregnant, or have a condition you're being treated for, check with your doctor before starting any of these. Stop any remedy that causes a reaction.

Where do the remedies come from?

Each one names its source: the Ebers Papyrus, the Charaka Samhita, Pliny, Dioscorides, Hildegard, the Victorian household books, the field hospitals of 1916. The page says who did it, where and when, what they knew without our words, and the year the factory version took its place.

I'm over sixty. Is the print big enough?

Yes. The book is set in a large, clear typeface with plenty of white, and because it is a PDF you can make the text as large as you like on a tablet or computer.

A note, the same one that is in the book

This book shares traditional and food-based remedies for everyday complaints. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace your doctor. If you take medication, are pregnant, or have a condition you're being treated for, check with your doctor before starting any of these. Stop any remedy that causes a reaction. If a complaint gets worse, see a doctor.
