5.0 out of 5 stars Must have book for tastey, vitally healthful natural food!, February 12, 1999

By	[e-mail] - Health & Self-Reliance (NW Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

Learn the miracle of sprouted and fermented foods. Transform seeds, nuts and grains into nutritious and delicious sauces, cheeses and loafs. Excellent charts and how-to sections. Beautifully illustrated with upbeat language. A tremendous asset to my kitchen skills. I paid twice the price at the local store! Now I'll order Ann's other books from Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are very sick and the doctor has no answer for you , March 23, 2006

By	A. Kelley (Bariloche, Argentina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

or you just want to stay healthy, this is a book that should be in your collection. It is an old book that I recently ordered for my own daughter because of her two year bout with anemia, poor liver function, low immune system and other maladies at only age 38, for which several doctors could find no remedy. It may be old, but the methods outlined in it work as well today as they did for me five years ago.

Between the two of us (she and I), she was able to go completely on this program and has just received normal blood tests for the first time in over 2 years. The time to these normal results from start to finish was about 4 months. A short time considering the years it takes for us to ruin our own health by eating the standard American diet (known as the SAD) and living the stressful and less-than-healthy lifestyle.

In addition to the recipes in this book, Ann Wigmore explains the factors in our lifestyle that make us sick, and gives the natural remedies with explanations of why they work. And they do work. I myself recovered from so-called "normal" challenges of aging 5 years ago while following this program, including arthritis, high blood pressure, acid reflux and other maladies. I now require no medications for anything.

I highly recommend this book for those who want to return to wellness enough to be proactive and take responsibility for their own health.
