This review is from: Foods That Heal (Paperback)

Love how everything is simple in the book. I have made many changes in my diet and I feel Good! Every part of the body is labelled by the food type that benefits it. Not only foods that heal but, much more education on health and about my own body. It is essential to know the foods that we eat to stay healthy. Prevention is better than cure. I recommend!
