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.

From Publishers Weekly

Carper combines diverse scientific studies to illustrate the healing power of eating the right food. BOMC selection in cloth. $75,000 ad/promo. Author tour.

Food Your Miracle Medicine by Jean Carper is an excellent book. It is filled with results of studies around the world on foods and how they affect health. I already have my own copy of this book and I purchased 3 more for some close friends. My sister also already has one book and later purchased another book for her adult daughter. I appreciate the way the author made it easy to look up information, even if it is on one food or a health subject. Also she made it easy to find out individual foods' pros and cons affecting your health. The purchase of the 3 books was an Amazon purchase. I had checked at several book stores without success before I tried Amazon, and Amazon made it easy to search vendors for this book. I wish I could have purchased all three from the same vendor, but that is OK, as the end result is I ended up with three more books and received them in a timely manner. I hope my friends enjoy Jean's book as much as I do.

Thank you.

If I could, I would have rated this book a 4.5. The author offers a wealth of information on how food or macronutrients can either help or harm your health. She backed her information with lots of scientific studies, etc... At the end of the book she lists major diseases/afflictions and how one can alleviate suffering by eating certain foods. Interesting insight!

Thoroughly researched material; written in a style understood by all. This speaks volumes to switch to a plant based diet with added omega 3 fish. It is surprising to see that the United States ranks 35th in life span per country as reported by theWorld Health Organization. Monaco's overall lifespan is 87.2; Japan 84.6. Even Slovenia has a better lifespan than the USA. We have an overall lifespan of 79.8 (men=77.4 and women= 81.3).

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2009
I like this book. It looks at the pharmacological effects of food. Most of us don't think about food that way. We know that a cup of coffee might speed us up a bit or that prunes may have a laxative effect, but that's about it. Jean Carper lets us in on the rest of the story. She even cites a study that I did while affiliated with The Institute of Human Nutrition at the Columbia University Medical School. While there, I researched the effects that foods can have on producing headaches and also how foods can provoke a wide variety of physiological and psychological problems. This book is a treasure chest of information regarding the health benefits of foods and the disorders that are caused or exacerbated by what we ingest. Recommended.

Stay away from Pharmaceuticals, they are not magic they are toxic, with side effects. Learn what foods help your particular issue. I have used this book for years and it works! Most culture's food is designed for the pharmaceutical effect as well as nutrition, i.e. hot peppers are full of vitamin C and great to keep you healthy. Use the glossary and read what is of interest and concern to you and then go shopping in your kitchen or at the store, and solve your illnesses not just your symptoms. And note your body was quietly trying to tell you it needed that! Get healthy and save your money! Loved this book for years so I had to have it on my Kindle so it was with me when visiting friends!

I received this book promptly and it is in good condition. I find that it is very informative. I am not one to take a prescription drug if I can take care of the problem naturally.
I have arthritis and to date I have not taken any prescription medicine for it. I opted for a bee hive and went on a program of bee stings to control the pain. The stings worked like a miracle, the biggest problem with the stings was the itching which I controlled with apple cider vinegar.
I hope I haven't taken too much space.
Thanks for the prompt service. I would buy from this seller again.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2018
This is a comprehensive book on disease that are likely to occur if you don't follow the advice within, and to be sought if you are already having problems. As usual it is a very informative book and very readable which is just as well as it is 621 pages long. Jean explains the miracle of food and the theory of food's healing powers. She goes into the cardiovascular and digestive systems showing what causes problems and what to eat and not to eat if you want a cure. She deals with cancer - breast, colon, lung, pancreatic, stomach and cancer in general. She shows you how to feel better. Jean deals with common infections and breathing problems, and joint and bone problems. Reproductive functions are covered, sex, hormones and fertility, with menstrual problems covered. Diabetics are considered too and how foods can be used for their drugs to remain healthy.
60 foods are covered for their healing properties and disease-fighting properties. A must read book if you like to use food as a medicine rather than resorting to pharmaceutical drugs, your family and friends will find you a fount of knowledge to help them.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2013
Yes this book is quite old but it still carries valuable information. It is very easy to read, well organised and the advice is excellent. I also like that the author quotes actual studies that had been carried out so the findings are supported scientifically.

Could be different size though as it is rather chunky.
