Food: Your miracle medicine is yet another small paperback that's extremely afforable and packed to the brim with information. Sometimes the best things come in small packages; thankfully Carper's effort is no different.

Broken up into systems, such as cardiovascular and digestive, she covers the most basic of complaints with reasonable food and dietary suggestions. This isn't another one of those common sense guides just published to make a book, however, for there was plenty in here I didn't know, and that most people don't. An added bonus is much of this is backed by the latest research, amazing findings, and also personal experience. She has many guest quotes of experts throughout the text. Beyond that, it's very easy to understand, perfect for the beginner, and even perfect for nutritionists who just enjoy the journey of learning.

It all wraps up with food connections you should know about, such as the relationship findings between lupus and fish, a listing of calorie burning foods that promote healthy metabolism, and foods that stiffle the urge to cut the smoking habit. We even get a section on using drugs in foods to stay healthy, such as natural antibiotic sources, antidepressant, carminatives, etc.

While it may not be the ultimate nutritionist guide out there, the amazing effort to cram this much useful knowledge into such a small book is extraordinary. I see from the cover it was a New York Times best seller, and rightfully so. Great work here, something everyone needs to know, no matter where your interests lie. Not unrealistic or glitzy and glamrous, each section is backed up with enthusiasm, facts, and further resources for doing your own research.

Yet another affordable, small paperback back offers a wealth of knowledge. Food, your miracle medicine covers a huge amount - from the cardio system to diabetes. Thankfully she covers even the most serious topic, while including the more minor ones. Backed up with much research, studies, and theories, the text is fascinating, makes sense, and I'm sure works.

This book tries to cover so many topics that it only provides snippets on each subject. The typical topic is two paragraphs long and is mostly anecdotal.

I am really impressed with this book. I found it very informative,
easy to understand, quite helpful with the quest for good health,
and I would highly recommend this book as a constant companion. It
would make a great gift to anyone that you care about. I wish I
knew of it sooner. My thanks to the author.

Truly sincere,

Excellent book. I have learned so many things that average person should be aware of. Just Excellent!

If you are a person who likes to give big bucks to Doctors and Phamacy companies. This book is not for you. If you are anti-establishment like I am and looking for alternatives: this book has a lot of answers. A person can choose healthy food and lifestyle choice. The other choice is to continue toxic food and lifestyle choices, cover them up with overpriced allopathic pills. Experience side effects and stay broke. Green Tea is far less expensive than anti-stroke medicine. It may be cheaper to indentify a food allergy rather than take a anti-allergy pill so that you can continue consuming the food that causes the allergy. If you really want to cure the pollen allergy. a bit of local honey in the green teas. Yummy. Brazil nuts instead of anti-depressants. The possibilites are ad infintum...... This is practical advsior with information for a sensible alternative to the war on unaffordable medicine.
