Product Description

Upon its publication more than a decade ago, Dr. James Duke’s The Green Pharmacy quickly set the standard for consumer herb references. A favorite of laypeople and professionals alike, the book sold more than a million copies and solidified the author’s reputation as one of the world’s foremost authorities on medicinal plants.
 
In his new book, Dr. Duke turns to the broader and even more popular subject of food as medicine, drawing on more than thirty years of research to identify the most powerful healing foods on earth. Whether he is revealing how to beat high cholesterol with blueberries, combat hot flashes with black beans, bash blood sugar spikes with almonds, or help relieve agonizing back pain with pineapple, Dr. Duke’s food remedies help treat and prevent the whole gamut of health concerns, from minor (such as sunburn and the common cold) to more serious (like arthritis and diabetes).
Dr. Duke has assigned a rating to each remedy, according to his evaluation of the available scientific studies and anecdotal reports. Many of the healing foods recommended here are proving so effective that they may outperform popular pharmaceuticals—minus the risk (and cost).

Excellent Book!5
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 extra copy for my sister. If you want to lead a healthy life, this is the book for you. Thank you James Duke!

Who knew?5
Who knew that the addition/substitution of "Foods, Foods" would be so effective with these health concerns? Blueberries, peanut butter, the correct fiber for breakfast???? Dr. Duke makes it very simple that even this college grad can understand and implement effortlessly. "Duke's Dozen" was just wonderful, also. Onion skins retention? Great! Keep up the great writings. My heart thanks you.

The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods5
I can not say enough about this book. It is exactly what I expected it to be and arrived in my mailbox within 5 days of my order. The book is not only in good condition, but in perfect condition as far as I can see. I have already found the information I needed to help me with a medical conditon and several more. I knew this would be a good book as the first The Green Pharmacy by Dr, Duke has been helpful over the years. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and the service that brought it to my door.
