This review is from: Doctor Morrison's Amazing Healing Foods (Hardcover)

I'm a bonafide health nut (of the raw foodist -- or mostly raw vegetarian -- variety) and I found this book to be wonderfully enriching to my knowledge of nutrition and healing even though Dr. Morrison recommends some foods in his book I would in most cases choose not to consume. I am totally amazed to see it being sold for as little as 50 cents here -- what a steal...! I am a collector of health books -- most especially those that use food as medicine and medicine as food and there are pearls in this book I found in no others. (Not to say they don't exist. My own collection of books is probably not more than a few hundred over the past decade.) I have experienced the power and magic of foods (especially raw foods) for healing and weight loss.

A sample of the sorts of gems one can glean from this wonderful book written by a man with clinical experience and a view to natural healing plus an innovative mind and humanitarian passion:

* arthritic symptoms disappear on raw food diet
* raw beet juice for the kidneys
* exercises to adjust your own spine
* cleansing and repairing the liver after lead poisoning (including ingestion of watermelon, tomatoes, brewer's yeast, [non-GMO] lecithin and radishes)
* hot-cold technique for "waking up" the liver
* longevity foods for the pancreas
* radishes and raspberries for the gall bladder
* cranberries for the asthmatic
* use of blackstrap molasses (not raw, but because of this book I do use it sometimes -- am still on the fence about this)
* foods to feed and restore the kidneys
* healing foods for the prostate
* foods to recondition the uterus
* foods that can often regenerate damaged nerves

...and much, much more.

This book was written before soy lecithin was mostly genetically engineered so I advise against taking his advice to take lecithin unless you have a truly organic source.

If you are interested in the healing power of foods and natural healing I think you will be thrilled to add this book to your collection!
