Doctors book of Food Remedies
I had seen an advertisement for this book sometime ago, but put off by the price
It was considerably cheaper on Amazon, so I bought it, as a present for my mother, who is very pleased with it

great book very informative


great book from what i have read so far. i have bought this book for my sister who lives in the seychelles and have just been browsing through it, it was recommended to her by a friend. having had a quick look i am going to get myself one.

Not so original
I don't think I needed to buy this book to get the info I was after. It doesn't seem to offer anything distinctly original or insightful. I've been able to glean the info I needed from the Net anyway. Prefacing the title by "The Doctors' Book . . . ' is an attempt to give it an authority which on further perusal of its contents is not warranted. My overall impression is one of disappointment. Its next destination is the used book store I'm afraid.
