Book Description

May 27, 2008
In recent years, scientists have discovered thousands of substances in foods that go way beyond vitamins and minerals for pure healing power. The Doctors Book of Food Remedies shows how to use Mother Nature’s "healing foods" to lose weight, prevent cancer, reverse heart disease, cleanse arteries, unleash an explosion of new energy, lower cholesterol, look and feel years younger, and much, much more.

Here readers will discover how to:

-cut the risk of heart attack in half by snacking on nuts

-protect against colon cancer by eating grapefruit

-cool off hot flashes with flaxseed

-heal a wound with honey

-fight diabetes with milk—and wine

-reduce cholesterol with cinnamon

Written in collaboration with the editors of Prevention magazine, one of America’s most trusted sources for health information, the book covers 60 different ailments and 97 different healing foods, and offers 100 delicious, nutrient-rich recipes. Newly researched, every entry provides current information and the latest clinical studies from real doctors and nutritionists working in some of the best medical institutions in the United States.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Common Foods Can Contribute to Good Health, August 1, 2009
This review is from: The Doctors Book of Food Remedies: The Latest Findings on the Power of Food to Treat and Prevent Health Problems - From Aging and Diabetes to Ulcers and Yeast Infections (Paperback)
This fact-filled volume has foods listed in alphabetical order, interspersed with health conditions that can be remedied. Some of the latter are intuitively expected in a book like this (e. g., heartburn, high blood pressure), while others are not (e. g., lupus, aging, motion sickness).

This work consists of 140 short chapters, each on a separate topic. This makes it easy to zero-in on a particular issue of interest or concern without getting bogged down in details and tangents. Furthermore, there is also a handy, profuse index for cross-reference of foods and health conditions.

The information presented is extensive. While some of it can pass for "conventional wisdom", other information cannot--at least not easily. Did you know, for example, that beans can stabilize blood sugar and lower cholesterol levels? Or that the quercetin found in the skins of apples can guard against heart attacks? Or that honey has both antibacterial and antibiotic properties? Or that the oleic acid found in avocados can help lower cholesterol levels? Or that the lowly, smelly onion is full of compounds that can help prevent the development of cancer and coronary heart disease?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Doctors Book of Food Remedies, February 16, 2009
This review is from: The Doctors Book of Food Remedies: The Latest Findings on the Power of Food to Treat and Prevent Health Problems - From Aging and Diabetes to Ulcers and Yeast Infections (Paperback)
This is one of tbe best books I have ever purchased! My mother suffered a stroke 2 years ago, and has headaches frequently. The only relief she had was liquid Tylenol which eased the pain. Since reading this book, I discovered that ginger root relives her pain as well and quicker than Tylenol, or similar pain medication. I am so pleased with the natural remedies that this book provides, that now I am finding remedies for cholestrol problems that my aunt is encountering. This book is such a treasure and I appreciate the fact that natural remedies are available, rather than having to use pharmaceuticals, that are potentially harmful. I read this book often, as I am continually finding natural remedies that are so helpful.

Thank you,

Liz Lisku

3.0 out of 5 stars "Ho Hum" Conventional Wisdom, May 29, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Doctors Book of Food Remedies: The Latest Findings on the Power of Food to Treat and Prevent Health Problems - From Aging and Diabetes to Ulcers and Yeast Infections (Paperback)
I had high hopes for this book considering the wonderful title but soon found it is run of the mill conventional. As soon as I hit the "Dairy is good for you" chapter, I knew the authors were not fully informed as dairy is of concern and may CAUSE much osteoporosis not cure it.
This book is good for the person who is just beginning to think of food as medicine but leaves out many of the important new facts regarding possible negative food issues.
