Amazon.co.uk Review

Fed up of taking pills, renewing prescriptions and feeling no better? Well, why not opt for nutritious food which has been found to fight pain and has no nasty side effects? Dr Neal Barnard discusses various health problems that can be relieved by simple nutritious steps. For example did you know that a gram of ginger can help "knock out a migraine"?

Knowing your food and what natural functions they provide could be the medicine you need to feel better, according to this book. The book is well-written and divided into six sections which relate to different parts and functions of the body, whether it be conditions related to poor circulation, hormone-related problems or metabolic and immune problems, each section is subdivided and looks in-depth at health issues relating to these areas.

The author discusses the scientific side of each illness in a simple jargon-free way which aids the reader in understanding the cause of the illness and the nutritional effect food has on eliminating pain. Understanding the science justifies the reasons why the nutrients in the food work effectively. The book also provides exciting and tasty recipes that can turn low-fat, low-cholesterol recipes into your favourite meals.

Knowing more about your food and its qualities can ensure a positive step in a healthy direction. This book is informative, practical and could be the answer to soothe your everyday ailments. It is suitable for anyone who wants an enjoyable and educational read. --Louise Coyle --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating revelations about everyday food choices, 5 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Foods That Fight Pain: Revolutionary New Strategies for Maximum Pain Relief (Paperback)
An authoritative, in-depth but easy to read account of how our choice of seemingly ordinary foods may unwittingly cause illness (and in some cases, cures for problems). Quite a revelation as I thought I was fairly clued up on this subject, but I discorvered some new ideas for treating migraines which I hadn't considered - though I don't know if I'm quite ready to try the strong coffee migraine cure yet! Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible book. Title very misleading., 11 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Foods That Fight Pain: Revolutionary New Strategies for Maximum Pain Relief (Hardcover)
We purchased this book with the expectation that it would suggest a diet that could reduce chronic pain for my mother, who suffers from permanent nerve damage from an injury. After all, the title does say "Foods That Fight Pain".

We were extremely disappointed in the book as it contains nothing that would help my mother at all. A more appropriate title would be "A Very Extreme Vegan Diet That Could Help You Avoid Having Certain Painful Conditions That Are Triggered In Some People By Certain Foods".

Dr. Barnard's diet may certainly *prevent* certain kinds of pain, but there's nothing in it about *fighting* existing pain.

If you have migraines, fibromyalgia, or any of the narrow range of other chronic pain conditions that may be brought on partly or entirely by diet, this book may be of help to you. However, if you have chronic pain due to injury (as my mother does) or disease, this book is useless.

I can basically sum up Dr. Barnard's diet right here: cut out all meats, fish, poultry, wheat, corn, milk, citrus fruit, tomatoes, soy products (tofu), nuts, and eggs. He suggests that you eat only certain fruits, vegetables, rice, and beans.

His rationale for cutting out all of the forbidden foods above is that none of them were available to our ancient ancestors, and therefore they aren't suited to our digestive systems because they weren't available while our digestive systems were evolving.

He doesn't even follow his own logic during his extremely silly explanation of his diet philosophy. For instance, he says on one page that we shouldn't eat meat etc. because apes and other primates don't and they are our closest genetic relatives. He then makes a strong point of the fact that apes don't cook. Then, he goes on to suggest that we refuse to eat these various foods on the grounds that apes don't eat them, but cooking's OK. Huh? Apes don't eat meat=meat bad. Apes don't cook=cooking good. It makes no sense at all. This was by far the nuttiest diet philosoph! y I've ever had the misfortune to read.

We feel that this book was a colossal waste of money, at least for us. If you have migraines, fibromyalgia, etc., just ask your doctor if a vegan diet that also eliminates wheat and corn might help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing which foods not to eat has made such a big difference! , 4 Feb 2007
By Mrs. Karen D. Hales - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Foods That Fight Pain: Revolutionary New Strategies for Maximum Pain Relief (Paperback)
I lent this book to my mum who has has been suffereing with Rheaumotaid Arthritis, Lupis and Frequent headaches about 2 months ago. She has found the information extremely helpful and has consequently made changes to her diet with excellent results so far by not eating certain foods.

We recommend this book very much. Gone are the headaches and she looks and feels so much better.
