Dr. James A. Duke PhD has been my hero and mentor ever since I read his first book, The Green Pharmacy. This book is loaded with natural herbal remedies Dr. Duke has spent 30 years researching. I discovered his new book yesterday and knew I had to let everyone know about it.
His latest book, The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods is loaded with healing foods proven so effective they outperform popular pharmaceuticals – minus the side effects.
Dr. Duke is the foremost authority on medicinal plants. I have all of his books and use them often. Some are so technical they’re very hard to read but this one is written in an easy format that you can understand and use what he recommends.
Drawing on his thirty years of research Dr. Duke has identified the most powerful healing foods on our planet.
This book covers what foods will help you heal certain conditions and what pharmaceutical to avoid when eating healing foods. One food he recommends is the leaves of celery. The loaded with calcium, potassium and vitamin C. They’re very good in soup stock and cutup in scrambled eggs or a quiche. I tried them and like them. I also used the leaves and stems you normally throw away in veggie smoothies or sometime I juice them with tomatoes. Very good stuff!
This book has easy to use recipes and lots of nutrition information packed into a single volume. Again, Dr. Duke sets the standard for consumer herb references with this new book.
The book covers miracle foods that will help with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a host of other ailments. Such as, two tablespoons of day of this will lower your blood pressure by 25 points. What ginger can do for the body or how blueberries can lower your cholesterol. He also covers nuts, berries and a ton of other foods he calls miracle medicine foods.
He explains why they work, how much you need and gives the studies where they were tested.
He not only tells what foods will do what but it’s all backed up with scientific studies. He explains the compounds in foods that are proven to help with any ailments. This is a must have book and it will join my collections of Dr. Duke’s book in my library.
This is what J. Austin of NC has to say about Dr. Dukes new book:
“This is one of the best books I have ever purchased and I own hundreds. James A. Duke, PhD has devoted his life to the service of mankind. This is the third book I have purchased by this author and they are all fantastic. The book is interesting, up-to-date, and well-researched. I have had the book for less than two weeks and the information is already helping me immensely.
I have recommended this book to friends, colleagues, my students, and have purchased an extr
a copy for my sister. If you want to lead a healthy life, this is the book for you. Thank you, James Duke!”
