Inside The Lost Skills Academy you'll discover the forgotten knowledge that made our grandparents and those before them independent and self-sufficient, skills and projects like: How to walk into any forest or meadow and come back home with a nutrient rich dinner. How to produce your own clean drinking water without the grid. How to turn common backyard plants into salves, tinctures and syrups, most of which you'll probably recognize from your grandma. How to make the ultimate survival foods that last for years without refrigeration. How to grow your own food in an Amish style year-round greenhouse. And hundreds more, taught on camera... step by step... by the few remaining people who preserve these old ways. Here's just a glimpse of what you'll discover inside The Lost Skills Academy: First, you'll meet Eddie Swartzentruber, who lived inside one of the strictest old order Amish communities for 17 years. Along with him, you'll discover how to refrigerate your food without electricity. Why the Amish almost never get sick. The little-known Amish device that generates water out of thin air. And over 40 other skills and projects that will make you fully self-sufficient on your own property. You'll also meet Dr. Nicole Apelian, one of the most sought-after herbalists with over 30 years of experience in the field. Nicole will show you which so-called weeds are actually medicinal herbs. How to make your own joint support tincture, juice, and salve so you always have something to reach for. The surprising thing that happens if you put a mullein leaf in your shoes… And over 300 other medicinal plants and powerful remedies you can make at home. Nicole is also a wilderness expert who survived 57 days alone in a remote part of Vancouver Island with nothing more than a knife. She'll show you how to start a fire with no tools… even when it's pouring or snowing. The only water purification methods you need out there. Even how to build a wilderness survival shelter out of nothing but forest debris. Then you'll meet Green Beret Terry Schappert, who will turn your home into a looter-proof fortress. He'll show you the DIY anti-looter traps you should set up around your property. How to make your home invisible to surveillance tools. Even how to properly secure your garage door, locks, bolts and windows without fancy gadgets. You'll also meet Joel Lambert, a Navy SEAL veteran who served for over a decade before returning home to train America's next generation of elite warriors as a BUD/S instructor. Joel will give you his exact program to grow your mental backbone. A complete step-by-step system to replace your bad habits with the discipline of a Navy SEAL. By the end… you become the kind of unbreakable person our forefathers were. The Lost Skills Academy gives you well-guarded knowledge passed down from generation to generation… taught on camera by the last people who still practice these old ways. Each lesson comes with step-by-step video instruction and written instructions, making every skill easy to follow and put to use right away. Getting access today may just save your family in the next crisis.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

2nd book big deception!!!

I liked the first book, so much so I ordered her second book of lost remedies. Her description of it says, even larger, glossy pictures, etc. The first book was 8x12. What I received was a 6x4, very very cheap book. Paper is not glossy as the first or as advertised in the second; very cheap paper. Pictures horrible and print so small!!! It is nothing like the first book

Exceptional Learning with The Lost Remedies Academy, but Amish Ways Academy Needs Improvement

I took "The Lost Remedies Academy" by Dr. Nicole Apelian, and I would rate this course 6 out of 5 stars! As a herbalist, I'm always eager to learn more, and Dr. Nicole's course exceeded my expectations. Her skills are outstanding, and the course format is clear, comprehensive, and easy to follow. I gained so much valuable knowledge from her teachings.

Encouraged by this experience, I signed up for "The Amish Ways Academy" by Eddie Swartzentruber. Unfortunately, this course is still needs work. There were several instances where Eddie mentioned links and resources that were supposed to be provided, but they were missing from both the video and the accompanying course book. For example, in the Solar Still section, the course book directs you to the video for images and instructions, but they were nowhere to be found and video directs you back to the book. While the content has potential, it needs more attention to detail to be truly effective.

Overall, I think the quality of the courses depends heavily on the instructor. I would 100% take another course with Dr. Nicole Apelian, but "The Amish Ways Academy" needs further refinement before I can fully recommend it.
