The volume is six books in one. The first two books are introductory defining what holistic healing is particularly Alkaline diets. Book 1 discusses what natural healing actually is and why it serves as a contrast to conventional healing practices such as pharmaceuticals. For example, natural remedies address and manage the root symptoms, not the causes. They also allow them to be filtered out naturally instead of being suppressed. The book also addresses causes like food, environment, and stress. The book focuses on specific parts of the body like the gut and mucus and how they can be affected by a weakened immunity.

The Books of Enoch (Audible) 

For Rick Sterling 

The Books of Enoch is a fascinating Biblical ancient apocalyptic religious text. It is mythology mixed with spirituality. It is entirely told from the point of view of Enoch, who the Bible describes as “one who walked with God” and ascended to Heaven without dying. 

 It focuses on many details that are minimized in the Canonical Bible such as putting more emphasis on the story of the fallen angels. They were punished for lying with human women, breeding half-human giant children, and teaching them forbidden knowledge.

 It also includes details about Noah's youth and relationships with his father Lamech, grandfather Methuselah, and great grandfather Enoch. His strange appearance such as eyes that lit up at night caused Lamech to question his paternity ( Methuselah told him that his features were signs of being divinely inspired and that he was biologically human and Lamech's son.)

Unlike the Canon Bible which puts the apocalyptic visions in the end of the Bible with the Book of Revelation, The Books of Enoch puts it right at the beginning. The placement of the Apocalypse in the first chapter of the first book shows how important these visions are to the text. 

The Audible version is narrated by James Burke. His is a soothing calming voice that reads the Books with deep understanding, wisdom, and faith in the text.
