Product Description
Did you know that blueberries can increase brain longevity? That kiwi fruit can be an excellent weapon for battling cancer and heart disease? That pears can help prevent fibroid tumors? From Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, the bestselling author of Meditation as Medicine, comes a remarkable book that helps you achieve maximum health by eating well. Grounded in science, Food as Medicine is a pragmatic and accessible reference that sets readers on the right nutritional path. Dr. Khalsa then explains how to use natural organic juices and foods as medicine, and how food can help reverse the progress or diminish the symptoms of certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Hepatitis C. Drawing on patient case histories, Food as Medicine outlines the seven principles of "The Khalsa Plan" for healthy eating, details ailment-specific nutritional plans, and lays out dozens of delicious recipes that promote overall well-being. After all, food is not only the original medicine -- it's the best medicine.

Changed my way of eatng! August 15, 2009

I love this book and have been recommending it to everyone I know. I thought I ate pretty healthy before I read this book but I learned of so many ways that I can help my family eat even better. Upon completing this book, I bought a juicer and I have been juicing everyday and I feel better than I have felt in years. I love how the author breaks down information into specific chapters for common illnesses and offers explicit instructions for diet, herbs, juices and supplements. The other thing that is great about this book is that the author does not make you feel as though good nutrition is an all or nothing choice. The information is presented in a way that you feel as though any small change you can incorporate is a step in the right direction because let's face it....we all cannot eat perfectly all the time.

America, take responsibility for your health & stop blaming the broken health care system for your ills January 11, 2009

This book is an excellent reference for those of us who choose to be responsible for our health, now and in the future. The book discusses the direct relationship between over processed food and disease states.
The author is a physician who has seen a wide variety of patients. By changing the patient's diet, the disease state not only improves, but often goes into remission depending on the severity and motivation of the patient.
Naturally, the patient must desire to become well and take responsibility for choosing healthy foods over pre-packaged, over processed, GMO infiltrated, sugar laden, unhealthy fat laden foods available in the grocery stores.
Most of the time, patients just get fat, don't move or exercise, and don't take responsibility for their own health simply because of the propaganda mediated on TV by corporations who want to profit at the consumer's expense; or by sheer laziness and denial.
Stop blaming the medical profession for the high costs of treatment and start taking charge of your own health! This book tells you how to choose foods that will help you to become healthy.

Recently, I was diagnosed with renal failure. Immediately after the diagnosis I began a search for cook books and other helpful resources on kidney-friendly diets. I read the section of this book that was on kidney disease and kidney health and fell in love with it immediately. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to make a change in their life.
