Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute, teaches that what we eat profoundly affects our health. She repeatedly points out how our modern nutritionless diet is a prime cause of illness and obesity, but she also offers a positive alternative. This volume presents a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, all of which is prepared without cooking, and which allows the body to regain its strength and vigour gently. It also discusses body cleansing and ageing issues, and there is a foreword by Hollywood icon Dennis Weaver.

I was introduced to this book by a deciple of Ann Wigmore, who was teaching a class in living foods. After a short time on the diet I was able to stop taking my hypo-thyrodism medication forever. The book is recommended as a great starter in uncooked foods, as it is inexpensive and gives the theory behind the recipes. Chapter titles: 1) AN APPLE A DAY OR HAVE IT YOUR WAY, 2) LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE, 3) THE SECRET OF HEALTH, 4) KEEPING YOUR BODY CLEAN, 5) THE HIPPOCRATES DIET, 6) INDOOR GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS, 7) SUPER NUTRITION FROM SPROUTS, 8) WHEATGRASS MIRACLES, 9) APPLES AND ORANGES AREN'T THE SAME, 10) HIPPOCRATES DIET RECIPES, 11)THE HIPPOCRATES DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS.

This book spells out easily and completely the way to take charge and improve your health now. If you never start, you will not begin to reverse the years of food, chemical, and environment poisoning that your body has become accustomed to leading to the onset of the major diseases and ill health conditions that his generation is experiencing in proportions never before known.
In conjunction with other Wheatgrass and Ann Wigmore books, I feel better without medicine or pharmaceuticals of any kind in only a few short weeks. I lost 15 pounds the first two weeks without strenuous dieting. My craving for sweets has disappeared without any thought or struggle. Understanding these simple practices of biology is made easy through these books fromthe Hippocrates Institute.

What can be said about Ann Wigmore and this book, except for the incredible importance and wisdom they have brought. If you want to heal and abide by the healthiest and most natural diet in the world, this book is it. I say this after 20 years of diet, research, and lifestyle experimentation. I am a healthy surfer (but I also work full-time), and say to you all- let the sunshine into your being- drink wheatgrass and read this book. The other best health book in the world is "The Miracle of Fasting" by the other late and great Paul C. Bragg. He and Ann Wigmore were amazing, courageous, and self-disciplined people in the field of health. These books shall survive them, and do us all well, forevemore. I'm "stoked"! :)

I have read a lot of raw food books, and I believe this one to be the most intelligently written. Her style is a sort of layman's scientist, she doesn't approach the issue as intuitively as some might like, but this results in a book that appeals to the intellect and not to the part of us that are "anti-the man". She does occassionally stretch known scientific fact, but her speculations are educated. It is good for the person who wants to know WHY, not just how.

This is one of the few books out there which teaches you how to take charge of your health in a very simple approach. No matter if you need to loose weight, want to save money in the kitchen or have more serious health problems such as cancer or chronic fatigue; Ann Wigmore gives you a clear picture how to get started.
Basically it's all about enzymes which metabolize your food and which are needed for every function in your body. Without enzymes there would be no life in your body. Where do you find these enzymes? They are avaiable by eating fesh organic fruits, vegetables, sprouts and nuts/seeds.
After 20 years of trying diffrent approaches to become healthier, this is the most significant one I've taken. It really makes a difference. Do you ever feel tired or bloated after a meal? Try her recipes and you will feel light and energized afterwards. I can really recommend this book to everyone who wants to be healthier, happier and more loving.

My Natural Medicine practice specializes in the recognition and utilization of diet, nutritional supplements, acupuncture and detoxification. One of most patient's problems is understanding what to eat and when. This book COMPLETELY describes the types of food and why and how to eat them. Cancer, depression and autoimmune disease (to name only a few) like rheumatoid arthritis are the end result of chronic exposure to environmental toxins like solvents and pesticides AND chronic nutritional deficiencies from eating fast food and junk food. This is the most important book you can buy to teach you how simple it is to regain your health AND prevent chronic illness like cancer.This book forms the basis of how we should eat AND understand the life-saving principle of intestinal and liver detoxification. Read, learn, and live a healthy life!

Once I read Ann Wigmore's book on Wheatgrass it really sparked an interest in live food and health. Ann Wigmore is a true pioneer and has left such a gift to all of us if only we can open our mind to the concept of healthy nutrition. I wish her teachings were in every school and more people would gain the wisdom this wonderful woman made her life's work. If you are suffering from illness this is a great option..change your diet! It makes so much sense and to see people eating crap and then wondering why they are sick is so frustrating when the answers are in books like Ann Wigmore's. I have seen people go into remission from cancer from adopting this lifestyle..I pray the live food evolution will sweep the continent and more people can live a truly healthy life..I cant say enough about the changes it has made in my own life and the lives of others! I would also recommend a dvd called "Ann Wigmore's Living Foods Lifestyle" filmed at the Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico..it is a hands on guide that shows you how to make meals, how to sprout, compost..so much interesting info and interviews with live foodists..I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was so much better watching a dvd and seeing things first hand. It is available through [...]
