Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raw Food for Health: Easy to read, from a true believer, February 4, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read, then act on this!!!, October 30, 2002

By	My Own Mind "myownmind" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

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"! :)
