Summary
Maurice Messegue: About people and herbs
The author of this book inherited from his father, a Gascon peasant, the gift of healing with plants and flowers. His "patients" were Admiral Darlan, Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Pope John XXIII, the painter Maurice Utrillo, to name just a few. Fighting boldly and persistently against charlatans who accept treatment even for cancer, Mességué himself mainly deals with chronic diseases and chronic patients from whom official medicine has given up. Completely devoting himself to the effort to restore health to people, he renewed the old tested empiricism and that is why he himself says: "There are no diseases, there are only patients".
There is something poignant in Mességué's testimonies. It is as if the primordial spirit of good is speaking from him, that far prehistoric period when man, unspoiled by civilization, lived in harmony with nature.
However, Mességué does not remain in abstract spheres. Here he gives a whole series of advice and practical recipes, determining for each chronic disease the principles of healing using herbs and the healthiest diet.
