5.0 out of 5 stars An exquisite journey into health with whole foods.

, 3 Nov 1996

By A Customer
This is quite simply one of the best books ever published on the subject of health and whole foods.
There are no platitudes in this book.

The symptoms of both health and un-health are delineated; the technical workings of the body are explained; the solutions to physical health are presented.
Whole foods in all their forms are described -- what to eat, how to prepare them, recipes, how they work in the body, what they fix.

This book is two inches thick, and probably contains enough information for a degree in nutrition.
It is extremely readable, but don't think you can read it without a good dictionary. The author takes care to define technical terms, but that's no excuse for not clearing up words you don't know as you read.
Published in 1993, the book contains up-to-date nutritional research as well as traditional herbal remedies.
A good index helps you find exactly what information you need for specific conditions.

While the emphasis is obviously on a vegetarian diet, the author treats meat products as therapeutic for particular nutritional problems, and describes how to use meat products in the most ethical manner.
The book even gets into subjects of health such as root canals, parasites and microwave cooking.
Wherever possible, the author compares Oriental and Occidental viewpoints on health and nutrition, leaving the reader with insights that just are not available from references that only consider one or the other.

I hope I've stimulated your interest. Following recommendations in this book will most certainly improve your health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - well written, 26 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I have read many books on nutrition and health over the years, but this book is one of the best I have seen to date.

Paul Pitchford knows his subject matter and he has had many years of practise as a healer. He has vast knowledge in many areas of Oriental and Indian (Ayurvedic) healing and it comes through in his book.

What astounded me was the length of the bibliography at the back of his book. I could safely say that 'Healing with Whole Foods' is like an encyclopaedia!

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is on a macrobiotic diet and wants to know more about healing through diet, or anyone who wants to really understand the fine art of healing through food

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you have a 10 star category for truely exceptional books, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book is absolutely necessary reading for everyone. I wish they taught courses with this book in our public schools. It is easy to read and comprehend, yet contains a wealth of indespensible information. When you read this book you will gain an understanding of food and its relation to your body that will change your view of the world. Fully worth the asking price and more. I would reccomend the hard back because you will be using this book regularly for years to come.
