This is a list of book and magazine publications I have read and collected by subject. Some of these, such as the biblical references I have had for many years. Newer topics such as dealing with cancer, the immune system, dietary changes, etc… are very recent to my readings. All of them represent a good place to start your research. As time goes on, I will add other things here that broach subjects not covered. Note: My primary cancer research is on what I have (kidney cancer). I will attempt to put things of a general nature in here so that everyone can benefit from my research. Not all cancers are alike other than some basic concepts. Many are unique on to themselves and what works successfully for one thing, might not work well for others. Example: Kidney cancer does not respond (5—7% success rate) to chemotherapy or radiation. Hence, I have spent little time researching these items.

The Bible
Printed by dozens of companies, in more languages than any other book. There are a large number of different translations, but my preferences run to the Authorized King James, first printed in 1611. It is the most poetic of all versions. The closest translation to the actual Greek and Hebrew that I have found is the American Standard.
