Summary: The Doctors Book of Food Remedies - A valuable resource !
Review: A wonderful, thorough read full of EXTREMELY useful information that is easy to understand. Many books of this nature are so full of technical 'stuff' it's hard to find the really useful information you're looking for. If you like 'Prevention' magazine SIMPLICITY, you'll LOVE this book!

Summary: If there is one major error, there are going to be more.
Review: I am very disappointed with this book. A perfect example is this: Writing about honey they say that honey contains propolis, a compound in nectar that kills bacteria. Absolutely not so! Propolis is resinous substance collected from the buds of certain trees by bees and used as a cement or sealant in the construction of their hives. If they let just one unchecked or untrue fact go into the book, you have to be suspicious of the whole book.

Summary: Go to your doctor!
Review: I can't believe people can justify their stupidity with this stuff. I lost my mother because she insisted on treating herself "natually" I suggest you go to a real doctor and stop trying to save money or treat yourself with a bunch of "tips" from someone who's probably only piecing together information to profit from your ignorance.

Summary: Great Reference
Review: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. I use it constantly as a reference for looking up information on foods and ailments, and sometimes I just read through. I've read a lot of what is included in here in other sources (health magazines, books, internet,etc.)and this book organizes it all very well. I love the alphabetical organization. The information is great, I've used a lot of it successfully, and really appreciate having all this useful information in book form!

Summary: If there is one major error, there are going to be more.
Review: I loved reading this book because it was packed with information on the foods we love. More than 9,000 scientific studies have proven beyond doubt that food is our best medicine. This book shows which foods are the most healing. In nature animals know which foods to nibble on to get well, with this book...we will too! I think the best way to use this book is to completely read it cover to cover and write down every food you think you need. Then, try to incorporate those foods into your diet. Studies have identified 107 of the most powerful healing foods, spices and herbs. There are some compounds which just cannot be absorbed by the human bloodsteam unless they are eaten in a food. Taking ellagic acid (a cancer fighter) in a pill form doesn't work. It is essential to eat strawberries or other berries in order to obtain ellagic acid. After reading this book you will look at a stawberry pie in a new way. "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food." --Hippocrates, 400 B.C. This book also gives helpful hints on how to select produce and keep it fresh. There is also some great information on how to prepare fruits and vegetables. You will find great life saving information: Eating cherries helps to prevent cancer, "perillyl alcohol" blocks the formation of a variety of cancers and contain a compound called quercetin. This neutralizes cancer-causing agents in the body. It also shields your DNA against cancer. Eating red grapefruits will give you more "lycopene" which helps protect against heart disease. Ruby Red and Star Ruby are great choices. "Diet has the distinction of being the only major determinant of health that is completely under your control." --Andrew Weil, M.D. The recipes are easy to make and there are plenty of them. There are also plenty of great pictures to get you to the store! Blueberries anyone.....

Summary: The Doctors Book of Food Remedies - A valuable resource !
Review: I would just like to comment on how thrilled I am with "The Doctors Book of Food Remedies" ! My husband and I are big believers in natural healing and preventative medicine and we have found this book an excellent resource. It explains in detail the different benefits of many common foods and it is very easy to understand. I also thought the index is very thorough and it is very easy to look up a specific condition. I also liked the fact that recipes are included at the back of each chapter, which show how easily these foods can be incorporated into your diet. We have purchased other books in the past that have talked about the healing power of foods but none of them have been nearly as comprehensive and easy to use. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their health. It is a great resource !

Summary: An excellent cross reference
Review: If you ever need a cross reference book on food and the problems caused by it, then you should have this Doctor's Book of Food Remedies by Selene Yeager. This is a combination of ancient wisdom and modern methods. It also tells you about the effect of natural fruits and vegetables on serious diseases like cancer etc. Recipes given in this book, with nice pictures, are very good and easy to try out.
I read the book and I thought, this doesn't sound too bad, but I found myself miserable. I just was frustrated after a week....it was very regimented. I did benefit by eliminating my coffee habit with the help of a wonderful coffee substitute called soyffee (www.s o y c o f f e e .com) Its made from soybeans which is a godsend for those troubled with hot flashes like myself. Another book I bought was the South Beach Diet book. I read that book and found the plan to be made up of things I would eat and the items were normal grocery store items so no hunting at the health food stores or buying online.
