Customer Reviews

Very comprehensive

This book is a good reference. I like its organization. Very handy to have about on the coffee table for an occasional reference.

Buy this book for everyone you know

I am a book lover, but this is the single MOST USEFUL book I ever bought. This book has quick and interesting information on foods and how they can help you with common problems like diarrhea, muscle spasms, fungal infections, fibroids and lowering your risk of getting cancer. The research is stated and summarized in an interesting and easy to read format. And the food cures work! I frequently use the information from this book to "heal" myself and others. This book can save you from taking OTC and prescribed medication and damaging you liver and kidneys.

What your doctor will not tell you, is in this book.

This book will tell you what your doctor will not. For instance I got kidney stones. I asked my doctor how I could keep my kidneys from hurting, since the kidney stones are still in there and make my kidneys hurt every once in a while. This book will tell you what foods or drinks to stay away from if you have kidney pain. This book is an A-Z on telling you how to avoid certain foods that trigger pain or what foods to eat to prevent certain problems. It also tells you which foods have which vitamins, in case you are deficent in certain vitamins. I love this book. I am going to give it away to a few people for Christmas. This book will tell what foods to eat to prevent cancer, why should we eat fiber, how to boost immunity and much much more. I would recommend every household to have a copy of this book.

A great health book

This book tells you lots of information about the food we can get from the supermarket and help us to prevent cancer and why. With every food it lists, it teachs you how to get the most of that food and give you one or two receipt. Don't get me wrong, this is not a receipt book. The little receipt is just for example how to use that food. This book is very informative and also very fun to read. Anybody who looks at health as an important issue can use this book as a reference book.
