5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should own a copy - they'd be healthier!, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I was given a copy of this book in 1999 by someone who did not want it any more. Curious as I am, and being a sort/of/health/freak anyway, with an even worse health freak of a vegetarian daughter (now 20), we started at the beginning and went all the way through. Since then we have been trying to acquire more copies of this book, to no avail. Just found the website and now we can express how informative this book is. Have followed so much of the advice given by the writers, and feel so much better. Book has to go back on market! And the 48-hr cold cure on page 73 really does work - even Grandma at 79 years old was convinced when we were both down poorly. Very well written, easy to follow. Excellent menus. Thank you for having written it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to the healing power of foods, 15 May 2001
By A Customer
The previous two reviews both seem to view this book as a diet book but it blatantly is NOT a diet book. It is a book that tells you what properties various vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices contain. For example, pectin in apple skin removes heavy elements like lead from your body. Watercress contains a mustard oil that is antibiotic. The book is broken into 'illness' chapters that tell you which foods will help, and those to avoid. For example, if you are feeling fatigued or anaemic, don't rush to the liver - there are more easily digestible sources of iron in vegetables like spinach and brocoli, so your body doesn't have to work so hard to get it. How are your kidneys today? Asparagus contains a compound that stimulates them. And so on.

This is a good book, well worth the money, but I only give it 4 stars because it was written in 1990 and can sometimes leave you wanting much more. But it provides a further reading appendix, so there's plenty there for the readers that want more.
