Food--Your Miracle Medicine Paperback – May 7, 1994

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.

This book is packed with useful knowledge Jean Carper has picked up over the years.I recommend purchasing this book due to its very broad range of health issues concisely and clearly covered.

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!

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!

Older book with good information pointing toward supplementation. Product arrived in good condition and on time.

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).

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.Snooper
