Green Pharmacy Guide To Healing Foods - Proven Natural Remedies To Treat And Prevent More Than 80 Common Health Concerns

Bought this book as a gift.

Hippocrates said, "Let thy food be thy medicine". Who am I to question the father of "modern" ( c460-377?B.C.) medicine!? Seeking truth about today's (c2010A.D.) medicine, as it directly pertains to me, and mine, I've definitively uncovered that our bodies were never designed with, thus do not naturally contain Corporate-made pharmaceuticals, so when we are ill or out of balance, it is not due to lack of vital (THE)Man-made drugs in our precious systems, but lack of vital Creator/God-made nutrients. Every time me, or one of mine, are out of alignment with perfect health, I get to prove my findings yet again. This book is a great jumping off point to taking back our power, and right, to self-healing. If I fall off a ladder painting my house, or one of my daughters is hit by a car, while she's out jogging, nothing beats professional emergency medical care. But if my husband, who is slightly immunity-challenged, picks up a winter-cold germ, which often knocks the " average" person on their arse for 7 - 10 days, I make a soup for him with lots of body-craving onions, garlic, and other Creator-made "meds", and 2 days later, like this very week, he's" Him" again, for better or worse. And no artificial residual effects. No 2 - 4 pages of contra-indications. Just nourishment and fiber and healthy elimination of what doesn't belong. It's a beautiful thing to work in concert with Nature to achieve and maintain something that is our birthright: Great Health!!!

What Goes In Us defines us... One Meaning/ If you put “Junk” in your body..Your Body will begin to break down sooner. We have only One Body the last time I looked..so I take care of mine. Great Foods taken in their Natural state are Good For you and Many things out of balance can Be Realigned if you Know which ones for What. This Book helps you do that...

Health books I read from cover to cover in order to help me and anyone else who may have need of the other cures that I do not need. So I send out the cures (or preventions) via e-mail, snail mail and personal contact to all my friends and family. I truly believe in supplements and have proof that they work. I live in a household with four other adults and I am the only one who does not get colds and flu during the harsh winters here. They are still in the mind-set to work on a cold after they get it - I believe in preventing it, so I'm usually the one who has to take care of the others when they are sick. Enjoy the beautiful winter days with health! Take your supplements every day.

Another great, informative book by Dr. Duke. If you care about your health and want to stay healthy and need an independent, honest opinion on what food to eat then get this book and all the other books from Dr. Duke. I have given several of his books to my family and friends for birthday, Christmas and other gift over the years and I have nothing but thank you. Dr. Duke's books are gift of life.

Haven't read it yet, but looks like very useful information to refer to when needed.

Although "The Green Pharmacy - Healing Foods" by James A. Duke, MD, is a little behind the times now,it is still an effective review of what "everyday people" should be looking at for real nutrition. You know what "they say," "You Are What You Eat." So now that you know it's true, start at the beginning and really enjoy the changes this book offers. You will attain at the very least, a new perspective and respect about the consumption of "real food and herbs."

Im learning so much from this book its ridiculous. I almost died last year of a sudden attack of high blood pressure. 224/200. My blood work was perfect, Turns out, I have Cushing's Syndrome. But I refuse to let meds take over my life, I am already off two meds thanks to this book and my bp is normal. If you're fed up with modern medicine, get this book!

This is a great companion to the Green Pharmacy also by James A Duke.James Duke PhD, is an expert on Medicinal Plants and has travelled the world researching his subject, has his own herb garden and treats his symptoms the natural way rather than with synthetic pharmaceuticals with all their side effects.I bought the Green Pharmacy over 10 years ago and the two books are essential if you want avoid being caught up in the system where doctors prescribe say one drug to stop your gout and then another to stop the side effects of the first drug and so on.There are a lot of natural healing books out there but they seem to be written by people who have taken there information from other writers books and they are copying each other rather than first hand experience. James A Duke is the real deal and I highly recommend this book.

can highly recommend this book, James Duke is one of the leading health food experts but sadly not many people are aware of him outside America! all his research is backed up with scientific facts unlike a lot of so called health experts! by any of his books you will not be disappointed

It is useful but takes a time to find exactly what you want to look up, you have to read a lot of other stuff as well before getting to the point. May try again to go through it.

Always a treat to read this mans books .nice chatty,unpretentious,style of writing.His green pharmacy is my bible for herbal remedies

This is my favorite book on the subject. The book is easy to read and navigate through. Recommended!
