Customer Reviews
Absolutely fascinating
Absolutely fascinating to hear how much Alice Caporn knew and understood about whole food diets fibre and health in the early twentieth century when science has only recently verified many of her beliefs
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series
Great stuff
Very much enjoying listening to these
Very interesting listening
A treasure trove of information in the episodes of early 20th century naturopathic history - particularly in light of where we are now.
