Why Remedies from Bulgaria?

What do you know about Bulgaria? Probably you have heard of the famous Bulgarian yogurt,
feta cheese, wines, and rose oils. But did you know that according to world archeologists the
very first civilization before Greece and Rome, started mainly in the land of what is now
Bulgaria, as well as parts of Romania, Moldova, and Serbia? Dr. David W Anthony - professor of
anthropology at Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y. is the editor of a famous book called The
Lost World of Old Europe: The Danube Valley, 5000-3500 BC. The book is a collaborative
project between The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World and over 20 museums in
Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova - the heartland of Old Europe during the Copper Age. This
book provides a comprehensive introduction to Old Europe's cultural legacy and also
demonstrates that Old Europe deserves a more prominent place in our understanding of the
development of early civilizations, whether due to its metallurgic or ceramic technology or its
female figurines. The writing is lucid and done by experts who are conversant with the major
ongoing debates in the field today and the layout is exemplary. The color photographs are
plentiful and any reader can, in a sense, study the objects directly while reading the text. Anyone
with an interest in learning about a burgeoning field in European prehistoryand rethinking
some assumptions and conclusions about the development of civilization in the Westwould
enjoy this book.

What about the alternative medicine of Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is the fourth largest exporter of herbs in the world, fourth only to China, India, and
Mexico. There are more than 3000 herbs that grow in Bulgaria alone, where 350 are used for the
conventional medicine, and over 750 are used in the alternative medicine. Close to 18,000 tons
of herbs are exported from Bulgarian annually, where most of them are only herbs not final
products. It is important to be noted that Bulgaria is among the few countries in the world that
besides cultivated herbs, is also exporting wild herbs that are picked mainly from the mountain
areas of the country. The price of 1 ton of herbs in Bulgaria costs around 1400 Euro. This is 4
times cheaper than countries like Switzerland, and 10 times cheaper than Japan. The biggest
importers of Bulgarian herbs include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, with smaller exports to USA
and Latin America.
According to the most famous and legendary Bulgarian healer - Peter Dimkov, China and
Bulgaria have the most developed alternative medicines in the world.

Over the course of his life, he has written the biggest book on the Bulgarian alternative medicine
in three volumes with five editions. Some say that with his natural healing methods and
remedies, he was able to help over 100,000 Bulgarians to cure their diseases. In 1980 the
International Association for Psycho-tronic studies (Luxemburg) awards Peter Dimkov a
diploma for a significant activity and contribution in the field of natural healing.
Today there is almost no Bulgarian that does not know about Peter Dimkovs books on natural
healing. His methods continue to be used today, and take major part of the National Bulgarian
Alternative Medicine. Peter Dimkov was born in Sophia in 1886, and peacefully died in 1981.
