Average Rating:
 Rating: - Everyone should own a copy - they'd be healthier!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. Rating:  - Good intro to the healing power of foodsThe 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.

Loads of superb ideas for every day food and dinner parties. So good I have had to buy more copies for my family for christmas. Rating: - Dieting made easy!What a find, a diet book which is a pleasure to use and which works. It provides a user friendly approach to food combining. It gives a potted history of the Hay Diet. Stacks of information on different "Superfoods". Lastly it is easy to follow and make recipes that are so tasty you keep coming back for more. Excellent. |
