Book excerpt: German Canadian Klaus Ferlow was one of the first to introduce the miraculous healing products from the Indian Neem tree to the West. As a teenager he'd developed a stubborn case of psoriasis which was resistant to both conventional and alternative treatments. His life changed 40 years later when he found out about the remarkable healing properties of Neem, a plant that healers in India have used for thousands of years. Within a few weeks Neem had finally freed him of the life-long condition. As a manufacturer of botanicals, Klaus was in the ideal position to develop a variety of Neem products and make them available to the North American market, as early as 1994. The author traces his own healing journey and his lifelong fascination with the versatile Neem tree from Canada to the Indian subcontinent where the tree originated. The book includes a valuable guide to herbs, list many useful healing applications of Neem, and explores its politics and history. The endearing story of the Neem tree is told through the eyes of one of its most enthusiastic advocates. Klaus Ferlow has since established the Neem Research organization to protect and promote this precious healing gift to humanity.
