Summary: An absolute "must" for any home!
Review: I found this book for a friend who was having kidney problems and, intrigued, decided to look into it for myself. I am absolutely thrilled with what I've read, and am changing my entire eating program as a result. Jean Carper provides the reader with scientific facts in layman's terms, and uses a "thumbs up/thumbs down" system to debunk myths and provide further foundation for the true "miracle power" of food. She offers cardiovascular food cures, remedies for digestive troubles, cancer-fighting diets, foods to stave off depression, foods to prevent asthma. . .the list goes on and on. It leaves the reader with the realization that health is something we can *choose*. . .especially when armed with the knowledge Carper has given us.

Summary: I learned a lot from reading this book
Review: It's packed with infomation about what to eat or drink and spices/herbs to use that are beneficial to your body. Some of the infomation in the book has are: It lists foods that may help prevent certain symptoms and problems, it lists disease-fighting powers in 60 common foods, it lists foods that are high in calcium, fiber, beta carotene and more. The books also goes on about how to use drugs in foods to stay healthy which I found very helpful since I don't use over-the-counter prescription such as tylenol

Summary: A wonderful, precise, well-organized, helpful guide.
Review: Jean Carper brings together information that took me seven years to conclude on my own (no thanks to doctors), and much, much more. I recommend this book often, and have received great feedback from friends with various ailments (cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.) This book is vegetarian friendly, a real plus.

Summary: A wonderful, precise, well-organized, helpful guide.
Review: This book is precisely what the public needs to escape the clutches of the drug industry! The material is well-ordered, well-organized, and gives vital and very helpful information for those seeking advice. I feel this book will do very much to bring the "wholistic" approach out of the realm of "eye of newt, wing of bat" where "normal" people often place natural remedies. Jean Carper, you have given us a big measure of respectability with many and frequent cites to scientific studies which confirm the tremendous values contained in plain old food! Thanks SO MUCH! In a very wise, old book it is written, " . . . and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:2. The buyer will get many times the purchase price in return from reading and heeding the advice given. My copy is a treasured addition to my library. Ken Demster
