John McCabe's first book was Surgery Electives: What to Know Before the Doctor Operates. First published in 1994, and now out of print, it was an exposé of the financial ties of the medical school, hospital, pharmaceutical, and health insurance industries whose unethical business practices result in the deaths of tens of thousands of people in the U.S. every year. The book was endorsed by some congresspersons and by all of the patients' rights groups in North America.
McCabe also wrote a similar book specific for those considering cosmetic surgery. Plastic Surgery Hopscotch was published in 1995 and detailed many of the risks involved with the various surgeries, and in dealing with the medical industry in general.
In 2007 McCabe's Sunfood Living: Resource Guide to Global Health was published as a companion book to David Wolfe's The Sunfood Diet Success System. McCabe did research for and had helped compose the first edition of The Sunfood Diet Success System. He worked as a content and research editor and ghost co-author to overhaul the manuscript for the succeeding five revised editions. He did the same on the first two editions of Wolfe's book Eating for Beauty.
In the 1990s, McCabe overhauled the manuscript of a book titled Nature's First Law: The Raw Food Diet, for its second edition. Wolfe and two co-authors were presenting this irreverent book as an original work. However, McCabe did not know until 2007 that the material in it was largely plagiarized from a book titled Raw Eating, which was written by an Armenian man, "Aterhov" Arshavir Ter Hovannissian, living in Iran in the 1960s.
McCabe was the ghost co-author on Frederic Patenaude's recipe book, Sunfood Cuisine, which is out of print.
McCabe is also the author of the 2010 book Sunfood Traveler: Global Guide to Raw Food Culture. That book was updated in 2011.
Also, in 2010, McCabe's book, Igniting Your Life: Pathways to the Zenith of Health and Success, was published. It has been described as a success guide for a New Age. The foreword was written by Cherie Soria, proprietor of Living Light Culinary Institutde and director of Living Light International.
In the summer of 2010, McCabe's book, Sunfood Diet Infusion: Transforming Health Through Raw Veganism, was published as a companion to his other books. It details various aspects and benefits of the raw vegan diet. A revised edition was published in 2011.
McCabe is also the author of the 2011 book, Marijuana & Hemp: History, Uses, Laws, and Controversy, which details the history and uses of the world's most useful plant, and how corrupt politicians worked with corporate leaders to outlaw industrial hemp farming. The book was first published as Hemp: What the world needs now. The manuscript was overhauled, updated, expanded, and had photos and graphics added to it.
In 2011, McCabe's book Extinction: The Death of Waterlife on Planet Earth, was published. It details what is causing the 6th Great Extinction.
McCabe has been a content and research editor, and a ghost co-writer on books by other authors. He also is a screenplay consultant, polishing scripts in preparation for sale and/or filming.
