Imagine if you will, a forest that was planted with a specific intention. Imagine each tree carefully selected through research and study as each tree holds a cure for at least one disease afflicting humans and animals alike. Perhaps you will have the choice entering such a forest alone, or you can be led through the forest with a guide, a forester who knows each tree and its application, and who can lead you to a tree for your specific health needs. A new breed of environmentalism, a new type of pharmacy if you will.Within this forest, park or garden will be trees to alleviate pain, manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes, or provide food. Such forest has not been planted yet, but it could be, soon. All the trees are with us today. All the research has been done. We simply have not yet joined the obvious links. We have not yet planted these trees to create a Medical Forest.Such medicinal forest may support isolated communities, inform mainstream health systems, supply unique drugs to hospitals, provide incomes for rural communities, and empower women in the work force.Once a tree or forest has more value standing and flourishing, it could safely be assumed that it will be protected by the people it serves. In this reference book there are many trees providing remarkable and effective results in treating illnesses and diseases.
