The Properties of Plants
by
John Ratner
Naturopath, Homeopath
The similiarity between folk tradition and modern herbal science shows that the thousands of years of experience of the ancients is a profound source of knowledge and healing.
John Ratner
also a celebrated painter...
This photo of John Ratner, was taken in Rome's most famous restaurant, Ristorante Bolognese, in the Piazza del Popolo in July, 2003. There, a special room,
La Stanza del Maestro Ratner,
is permanently dedicated to the paintings of
Maestro John Ratner.
Ratner's paintings are in sync with his naturopathic, and homeopathic studies, as they seek an ecologic connection with the world, through an icongraphic description of the organic universe.
The works of John Ratner are in the private collections of Mr. & Mrs. James Mellon, author Hans Ruesch, Paolo Bulgari, Piero Ruspoli, Judy Loeb Chiara, and Rome's Hassler Hotel.

Our Readers Write...
“It took me two and a half evenings to complete your un-put-downable book. It does speak volumes for you and John....the characters you depict became three-dimensional. A moving memoir that only a woman could have written, it is a unique contribution to the appreciation of a life in Singapore. Thank you for having written it. ”

I am LOVING your book!! There's been a lot going on around here, so I haven't had a lot of time to read, but I grab it every chance I get. I'm about half-way through it. What a remarkable memory you have, and your descriptions bring everything to life. It's like I'm visiting these exotic places, I've always heard about, but I can see them through your eyes. And the Asian culture, what insight you've given me, through your book. American women just don't realize how good we have it! The book is fantastic, and I've told so many people about it.

I just received your book this morning. It is an amazing tale and well written. I started it this morning and have gotten about halfway thru the book by reading in between chores all day. It's been almost impossible to put it down as I can't wait to find out what happens next. It's truly an eye-opening story and I am glad you have managed to get yourself out of a horrible situation!

Your voices were actually heard when I was reading your book, it shows how personal the accounts were. I read it in one evening, just unable to put down a book that showed the ugly truth about human relations, the legal process, greed and injustice. Thanks for the wonderful experience and I hope you will continue with bringing out the truth.

“Another time, another sensibility, another world...it captures the beat and the pace of Italian life in the 1950s. Wittily written, it provides us with the crowded humanity that has always been Rome that eternal city filled with volatile lives densely packed into an endless humor.”
