Book Reviews of The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program
Book Review: Raw Food for Health: Easy to read, from a true believer
Summary: 5 Stars
I was introduced to this book by a deciple of Ann Wigmore, who was teaching a class in living foods. After a short time on the diet I was able to stop taking my hypo-thyrodism medication forever. The book is recommended as a great starter in uncooked foods, as it is inexpensive and gives the theory behind the recipes. Chapter titles: 1) AN APPLE A DAY OR HAVE IT YOUR WAY, 2) LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE, 3) THE SECRET OF HEALTH, 4) KEEPING YOUR BODY CLEAN, 5) THE HIPPOCRATES DIET, 6) INDOOR GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS, 7) SUPER NUTRITION FROM SPROUTS, 8) WHEATGRASS MIRACLES, 9) APPLES AND ORANGES AREN'T THE SAME, 10) HIPPOCRATES DIET RECIPES, 11)THE HIPPOCRATES DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS.Book Review: Intelligently written
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a lot of raw food books, and I believe this one to be the most intelligently written. Her style is a sort of layman's scientist, she doesn't approach the issue as intuitively as some might like, but this results in a book that appeals to the intellect and not to the part of us that are "anti-the man". She does occassionally stretch known scientific fact, but her speculations are educated. It is good for the person who wants to know WHY, not just how.Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book that is for everyone. It makes you really think about your health and maximizing your life. Read it!Book Review: poison conspiracy
Summary: 4 Stars
Discovering the basic information in Wigmore's could easily prompt one to feel there is a poison conspiracy within the health system, at least in the U.S. We constantly hear about new "life saving vaccines" for everything from measles to the swine flu, from cancer to aids and yet it's never made clear that these "medical wonders" actually do NOTHING to their targeted ailments. Their ONLY purpose is to "prompt" our bodies to protect us from them. In other words for our bodies to naturally provide a defense or cure for the disease or ailment. Wigmore accurately points out that this natural ability to maintain good health is something we have within our bodies, evolved over millions of years of surviving in the midst of all the maladies our world has produced. Why are we suffering from the myriad of health challenges we suddenly find in our world? We have to look no further than what we are putting in our mouths. While what we are doing to our planet in terms of pollution etc. has an effect on our health she accurately points out that it is our cooked, over processed food that is turning off our natural healing power. This of course produces enormous profit for our "for profit" health system. While I do not subscribe to a conspiracy I think Wigmore gives us the essence of what we need for optimum health. It's enzymes.Book Review: Hippocrates Diet book review

This is the first book I read about a rawfoods diet and it made me keen to get started. It explains things clearly and enthusiastically and it has some recipes, too.
