5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!, March 24, 2009
This review is from: Green Pharmacy Guide To Healing Foods - Proven Natural Remedies To Treat And Prevent More Than 80 Common Health Concerns (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books I have ever purchased and I own hundreds. James A. Duke, PhD has devoted his life to the service of mankind. This is the third book I have purchased by this author and they are all fantastic. The book is interesting, up-to-date, and well-researched. I have had the book for less than two weeks and the information is already helping me immensely. I have recommended this book to friends, colleagues, my students, and have purchased an extra copy for my sister. If you want to lead a healthy life, this is the book for you. Thank you James Duke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who knew?, March 10, 2009

This review is from: Green Pharmacy Guide To Healing Foods - Proven Natural Remedies To Treat And Prevent More Than 80 Common Health Concerns (Hardcover)
Who knew that the addition/substitution of "Foods, Foods" would be so effective with these health concerns? Blueberries, peanut butter, the correct fiber for breakfast???? Dr. Duke makes it very simple that even this college grad can understand and implement effortlessly. "Duke's Dozen" was just wonderful, also. Onion skins retention? Great! Keep up the great writings. My heart thanks you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking Responsibility For Our OWN Health And Healing, December 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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!!!
