About the Book

A fungus says 'Eat me'. It becomes a medicine. Transforming and radical. Heals hurts and hearts. Far reaching and timely.

Book Synopsis

I find a fungus one autumn in a grassy area of a town park. I identifiy it as Amanita Rubescens, the Blusher. I cook and eat it. It affects me, the ripples begin. I am curious to know more. Others get involved. It is prepared as a medicine at a homoeopathic pharmacy, then a group take part in a trial, a Proving. We clarify its medicinal potential. This is then confirmed in homoeopathic practice. Found, tested, prescribed.

This book tells this story and indicates the scope and impact of the medicine. We see its relevance for people at the present time. It is needed.

Purification. Cleansing. Clearing physical and mental toxic states. Speaking up about long held hurts, personal or national. Parallels with the Arab Spring and other recent demonstrations.
Alignment, personal and planetary. The web that connects everything, impelling a radical healing of the heart.

Review Quotes

Quite something, quite amazing . . . Amanita rubescens seems homeopathic to those pioneering spirits willing to face challenging conditions.

It opens territories not everyone would willingly enter, exposing dark places for attention.
