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!

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.

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!!!

One of many great books. The best way to describe these books is that they are informative, easy to understand and apply to everyday situations.

I have been trying to find an informitive book about benificial foods for years. This is the only one I have wanted to read like a novel. I read a little every night and have really learned a lot. I would recomend this author and this book to anyone who is trying to learn what foods to eat for individual heath concerns. It is well structured and user friendly. I really like it.

I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY FATHER. HEARD ABOUT IT THROUGH MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHO HAS BEEN USING THE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE BOOK TO BETTER CARE FOR HIS DIABETES AND HEART, WITH GREAT SUCCESS. MY DAD REALLY LIKES THE BOOK TOO. FOR ANYONE WHO PREFERS TO TAKE CHARGE OF HIS/HER OWN HEALTH, THIS IS A GOOD REFERENCE.

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.

I'm very interested in nutrition and herbs and own several books of this nature. This one is a welcome addition to my collection. Lots of good information.

In this day & time of more awareness of fast food vs. slow food, this is an excellent guide to the healing powers of the food we consume. After all, we are what we eat!!!!

I want and need to learn more about healthy eating and how foods can help me heal. The book looks like it will help me reach that goal. I haven't had time to real all of it.
