Eat Away Diabetes (Paperback)
If you're looking for nutritional information on fruits and/or vegetables than this is NOT your book. The book does contain interesting information on the healing properties of myriad fruits and vegetables but most of it isbased on anecdotal information (ie a "friend") although somestudies are mentioned. However I do believe that the book does make aninteresting read.
This book is sort of a compilation of natural remedies taken from other similar books, with their permission of course, such as Secrets of The Chineese Herbalists, Miracle Medicine Foods, Miracle Medicine Herbs and a number of others, including some by John Heinerman. So you're getting a lot of great information from many books with out having to buy them all. Included are references to scientific studies when appropriate, written in an easy to understand style, when remedies are discussed along with many personal testimonials, which I always enjoy reading. Many if not all of the foods and herbs discussed are indeed mentioned in the Bible with numerous scriptures given where they are. There is an excellent index in the back which can be used to look up a condition and see what foods, herbs etc. can be beneficial for it or you can look up a food or herb and see a list of conditions they can be used for. This is very handy. A whole host of conditions are covered from arthrits, cancer, high blood pressure/cholestrol, ulcers, infections and many more too numerous to mention. If you are in to natural remedies this book belongs in your library.
