Reviews

[Hank Edson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A disorganized, often repetitive screed, and yet the work on an extraordinary life with arguably more experience among American indigenous peoples than any other American of European descent. This book’s value is in the deeply important elementary understanding of a primary foundation of human health, which is expressed in the original title: Shut Your Mouth. This is not advice about editing one’s foolish commentary, but an observation of the best practice for breathing, both when awake or asleep, to be in harmony with the evolved optimum function of your body. To breathe through the mouth is to disregard the sophisticated filtering mechanism of the nose and sinus. It is like drinking water from the sewer rather than through a purification filter. The context, time, and public health activism of this short work make it a unique treasure worth preserving and worth visiting by the contemporary reader, for whom generally this elementary understanding is still shockingly too little appreciated and by whom is generally too little practiced.
