By following her simple principles, and making the tasty, nutritious recipes here part of an everyday diet, readers can boost their body's defense system, look and feel better, and enjoy increased vitality. For ease of use, all the information is indexed by food, ailment, and recipe.

Look up a food you dislike and you will want to eat it!, Jun 13 2005
By Soaring Heart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nutritional Health: More Than 600 Foods and Recipes for Overcoming Illness and Boosting Your Immunity (Paperback)
Here's a beautiful book for your kitchen baker's rack with lots of recipes. Written in an easy to read format, including large, colorful photos of foods, this guide to healthy eating does everything for you but cook the food! This book provides the motivation to try new foods and recipes. It goes even further than just listing foods by categories to tell of their benefits for the body; it lists ailments and the specific foods to eat to combat them along with page numbers of the recommended recipes!Here are the chapters: 1) Guide to Healing Foods 2) Foods for Common Ailments 3) Healing Recipes 4) Diet in Practice 5) A Guide to the Immune System 6) Superfoods for the Immune System 7) Coping with Common Ailments and 8) Immune Foods in Practice.
Here's a great quote from the foreword that is key: "...diets based on fresh or minimally processed foods, above all wholegrain starchy foods combined with legumes/pulses such as beans, and a variety of vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, essential fats, and fiber, and which are correspondingly low in highly processed foods, total fat, saturated fat, sugar, salt, and also alcohol, protect the health of all systems of the body. And yes, this includes the nervous system of which the brain is one part, the source of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs."...
Don't be like so many who are sadly digging their own graves with their forks and spoons! Eat wisely and mindfully. (And I am speaking to myself too.) o8E
Soar!

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nutritional Health: More Than 600 Foods and Recipes for Overcoming Illness and Boosting Your Immunity (Paperback)
While attending a natural therapeutics school in Albuquerque, our herbology instructor brought this book to class on the same day we had to choose a project to do for a 30' herbal talk. Our group of four chose to do a cooking class based on this book. We were all impressed by relevance of food, herbs and health presented by the book. We were also impressed by the photography, which was accomplished by someone who knew what they were doing. And the recipes were relatively simple, which was a real plus for overly-burdened students.The real payoff, however, came on the day of our presentation. Each group member prepared a different recipe and then discussed the preparation and how the herbs related to health. We also discussed the book, its simplicity and its wealth of information and then served our food to the class.
Each of our dishes, which included a nettle casserole, was an instant hit. The rest of the class were so impressed with the results of our preparations that everyone in the class except one ordered the book for their personal libraries.
Simple recipes, great tasting food, and health. What more could someone ask for in one book?
