Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Did you know that fish oil and collard greens block breast cancer? Brazil nuts can improve your mood? That contrary to popular belief, sugar actually mellows out most people? Carper's collection of culinary medicine is astounding. Based on research culled from prestigious scientific institutes around the world, Carper reports on what you ought and oughtn't to eat for ailments ranging from heart disease to cancer, strokes to depression and anxiety. It's pleasant to think of health as taking place in your kitchen instead of the doctor's office or hospital. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


From Publishers Weekly

Columnist Carper ( Jean Carper's Total Nutrition Guide ) here provides preventive and antidotal foods for innumerable ailments: colic, gas, gallstones, cancer, ulcers, colds, asthma, osteoporosis and even headaches. Organized to be thumbed through readily, the book carries many catchy subheads jauntily: under "Coffee Calamity," readers will find the warning that caffeine may worsen gallstones; under "Milk Gone Sour," we learn that diarrhea can be an allergic reaction to cow's milk. Besides its practical applications, the book is interesting just for its facts, some familiar, some not: red wine, chocolate, cured meats, MSG, and even fava beans may spur headaches; tomatoes and other nightshade vegetables, some believe, bring on arthritis. And nursing mothers who consume garlic before feeding time will induce their infants to drink longer and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, precise, well-organized, helpful guide., October 16, 1998
By A Customer
This book is precisely what the public needs to escape the clutches of the drug industry! The material is well-ordered, well-organized, and gives vital and very helpful information for those seeking advice. I feel this book will do very much to bring the "wholistic" approach out of the realm of "eye of newt, wing of bat" where "normal" people often place natural remedies. Jean Carper, you have given us a big measure of respectability with many and frequent cites to scientific studies which confirm the tremendous values contained in plain old food! Thanks SO MUCH!

In a very wise, old book it is written, " . . . and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:2.

The buyer will get many times the purchase price in return from reading and heeding the advice given. My copy is a treasured addition to my library.

Ken Demster

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute "must" for any home!, November 1, 1999
By "taliaferro" (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews
I found this book for a friend who was having kidney problems and, intrigued, decided to look into it for myself. I am absolutely thrilled with what I've read, and am changing my entire eating program as a result. Jean Carper provides the reader with scientific facts in layman's terms, and uses a "thumbs up/thumbs down" system to debunk myths and provide further foundation for the true "miracle power" of food. She offers cardiovascular food cures, remedies for digestive troubles, cancer-fighting diets, foods to stave off depression, foods to prevent asthma. . .the list goes on and on. It leaves the reader with the realization that health is something we can *choose*. . .especially when armed with the knowledge Carper has given us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Literally a life saver, January 16, 1998
By A Customer
My mother, a 78 year old who has smoked heavily for over 40 years was diagnosed as having acute C.O.P.D. She was using a nebulizer 4 times a day, an inhaler as often, as well as an oral steroid. These "MEDICATIONS" had her high,"speeding" day and night. Between not sleeping,not being able to eat,skin problems,hardly being able to talk without difficulty,Not having strength or stamina enough to even walk without extreme fatigue, loss of her hair and still having to fight for every breath it was obvious to all of us she did not have much time left nor did she want much since her days were spent in extreme discomfort. Folks, my mother was dying and we were helpless. Our great medical community was and is helpless. My wife, seeing my deepening concern and feeling similarly suggested sending her Jean Carper's book. I felt even though I've been vegetarian for a long time and have influenced my mother a lot she would take the attitude of leaving her health (or lack of same) in her doctors (capable?) hands. Wendy sent her the book anyway. People, its been about 7 months since out of sheer desperation and having nowhere else to turn she read the book. She followed Jeans advice and began eating hot peppers. She now takes NO medication at all. All symtoms have gone the way her quality of life was going before Jeans book. I could go on and on but I think its enough to say, Jean you have saved my mothers life, nothing less.
