Product Description
Product Description
Upon its publication more than a decade ago, Dr. James Duke's "The Green Pharmacy" quickly set the standard for consumer herb references. A favorite of laypeople and professionals alike, the book sold more than a million copies and solidified the author's reputation as one of the world's foremost authorities on medicinal plants. In his new book, Dr. Duke turns to the broader and even more popular subject of food as medicine, drawing on more than thirty years of research to identify the most powerful healing foods on earth. Whether he is revealing how to beat high cholesterol with blueberries, combat hot flashes with black beans, bash blood sugar spikes with almonds, or help relieve agonizing back pain with pineapple, Dr. Duke's food remedies help treat and prevent the whole gamut of health concerns, from minor (such as sunburn and the common cold) to more serious (like arthritis and diabetes). Dr. Duke has assigned a rating to each remedy, according to his evaluation of the available scientific studies and anecdotal reports. Many of the healing foods recommended here are proving so effective that they may outperform popular pharmaceuticals - minus the risk.

Excellent Book!
25 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best books I have ever purchased and I own hundreds. James A. Duke, PhD has devoted his life to the service of mankind. This is the third book I have purchased by this author and they are all fantastic. The book is interesting, up-to-date, and well-researched. I have had the book for less than two weeks and the information is already helping me immensely. I have recommended this book to friends, colleagues, my students, and have purchased an extra copy for my sister. If you want to lead a healthy life, this is the book for you. Thank you James Duke!

Who knew?

Format:Hardcover
Who knew that the addition/substitution of "Foods, Foods" would be so effective with these health concerns? Blueberries, peanut butter, the correct fiber for breakfast???? Dr. Duke makes it very simple that even this college grad can understand and implement effortlessly. "Duke's Dozen" was just wonderful, also. Onion skins retention? Great! Keep up the great writings. My heart thanks you.

Taking Responsibility For Our OWN Health And Healing
4 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Hippocrates said, "Let thy food be thy medicine". Who am I to question the father of "modern" ( c460-377?B.C.) medicine!? Seeking truth about today's (c2010A.D.) medicine, as it directly pertains to me, and mine, I've definitively uncovered that our bodies were never designed with, thus do not naturally contain Corporate-made pharmaceuticals, so when we are ill or out of balance, it is not due to lack of vital (THE)Man-made drugs in our precious systems, but lack of vital Creator/God-made nutrients. Every time me, or one of mine, are out of alignment with perfect health, I get to prove my findings yet again. This book is a great jumping off point to taking back our power, and right, to self-healing. If I fall off a ladder painting my house, or one of my daughters is hit by a car, while she's out jogging, nothing beats professional emergency medical care. But if my husband, who is slightly immunity-challenged, picks up a winter-cold germ, which often knocks the " average" person on their arse for 7 - 10 days, I make a soup for him with lots of body-craving onions, garlic, and other Creator-made "meds", and 2 days later, like this very week, he's" Him" again, for better or worse. And no artificial residual effects. No 2 - 4 pages of contra-indications. Just nourishment and fiber and healthy elimination of what doesn't belong. It's a beautiful thing to work in concert with Nature to achieve and maintain something that is our birthright: Great Health!!!
