Excellent book in understanding what vitamins, minerals and other health benefits that common and not so common foods provide. Very informative in helping you improve your diet to reduce the effects of your own current health issues from high blood pressure, to cancer to yeast infections and to simply impove your body's functioning.

The advice is this book is as informative as it is enlightening. It is my trusted reference for informatiion on the healing/nutritional powers of anything from avocados to ginger, kale to mangoes, nori to tomatoes. Research findings, suggested recipes, and really good writing make this book an excellent buy -- and a true life saver!

This book has a compendium of foods for weight loss, cancer

prevention, management of arthritis and a whole host of

health problems too numerous to list here. For instance, Vit. C

levels, Zinc, garlic and produce help with the common cold.

Did you know that olive oil is a good source of Vitamin E?

Foods to control diabetes are noted; such as, multiple servings

of fruits and veggies, high fiber, calcium rich foods and beans.

This book is a solid value for the price charged. It will be a good addition to your personal health library collection.

I am glad that I was able to find this book being that it was so out of print. I received this book back in 1982 when I started my first subscription of Consumer Report. I lost this book when I lend this book to a friend and never got it back and I was very disappointed and thought that I would never be able to find it again. Until I did a google search and found it here at Amazon. This book is very informative and has a lot of information on foods that heal like ginger for instance for your digestive system. I recommend this book to anyone who want a good book with good health information. And for the price you can not beat it trust me.

New Foods For Healing was a great find! This books helps me to eat better, and to select foods that will assist me in fixing medical issues that I currently have. It also tells me how to prepare food in order to get the most benefit from them. It has also helped me to select nutritious foods for my diet. Great book!

I have had this book for several years. Some helpful remedies include treating and preventing the Flu. It states that VITAMEN C, GARLIC, TEA AND HOME-MADE CHICK NOODLE SOUP HELP WITH the FLU. I've personally tried the Garlic, and it gets rid of a sore throat almost immediately after eating it. I found out that it has to be fresh garlic, not minced and not flavored with, like powder or salt. I usually eat some garlic pods in my potato soup or fried potatoes when I notice a cold or the flu coming on. Usually the garlic shortens the duration of which the cold would have lasted on anyone else. Like most people will get a cold for 2 weeks, I might have it for 3 days. Also B6 relieves carpal tunnel, migraines, and stress.

It gives not only the name of the vitamin and what it relieves but it also gives the sources of foods that this vitamin is in like VITAMEN E is in asparagus,barley,cherries,nuts and wheat.

As far as KIDNEY STONES which I still had pain after I had them. This book tells you what triggers the pain...which is very nice to know. Stay away from oxalate rich foods-black tea-chocolate-nuts-spinach-strawberries. I've found that Spinach really makes my kidneys hurt and I can only eat it if I drink lots of water with it-to dilute the potency of the oxalates.

This book lists just about every disease or symptom that I can think of. ARTHRITIS-ASTHMA-BLOOD PRESSURE-CANCER-COLDS-CRAMPS-DEPRESSION-DIABETES-EAR INFECTIONS-FATIGUE-GALLSTONES-HEADACHES-HEART DISEASE-INSOMIA-MACULAR DEGENERATION-MENOPAUSE-MIGRANES-OSTEOPOROSIS-ULCERS-URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS-YEAST INFECTIONS-
....................JUST to name a few.

Excellent Resource - I think every book shelf deserves this book!
