4.0 out of 5 stars Moringa, Nature's Medicine Cabinet, March 12, 2007

The book by Sanford Holst is written with simplicity to denote people's every day association with moringa. The experiences of people and empirical research makes the book appitizing to read and skim through. A host of references used in this book shows that Holst is not a dreamer and he is not alone in trying to inspire people to take a look at nature's medicine cabinet. This is trully a valuable asset to both the skeptics and moringa advocates like me who believe that popularizing moringa will be mankind's greatest achievement in a world where poverty and diseases are universal challenges.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent beginner's book on the subject, January 23, 2003

This was the first book I bought on Moringa. I found it to have some decent information and photos. I found that if your looking for a bunch of Moringa Leaf recipes this book has many, at the same time it has too many.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moringa: Nature's Medicine Cabinet (2nd Rating), November 17, 2004

Overall, I thought the book was informative but more could have been written on the benefits of the moringa tree, and less on recipes.
Most of what I read on the nutritional benefits of Moringa and the rejuvinating effects the various parts of the tree have on people were already well known to me because of the many websites I have visited.
I find it interesting that the seed pods are being used to purify water in third world countries and that many citizens of these same countries are being well nourished by the Moringa tree, which is easily accessable.
I had hoped that more information on the curative effects and scientific studies of the plant would be included in the book.
Most likely at least a few more books about this amazing plant will be published in the future, because of the heightened awareness of the tree. Direct-sales distributors are already joining forces with a company called Zija (http://www.4zijahealth.com)to launch a new commercial venture touting the amazing benefits of moringa.
