This book is a bit more advanced, but has great ideas for ways to heal with whole food. It also talks about some history of whole foods and introduces the reader to Ayurvedic healing principles.

Healing with Whole Foods is a comprehensive guide to health and well being. Paul Pitchford lays everything out in an easy to understand and follow set of guidelines in his book. Any disease and its treatment can be found between its extraordinary covers -- and it has become my bible. It covers so

many ailments from the 21st century...from high blood pressure, diabetes, headaches and congestive heart failure to arthritis, gout, cancer and various other diseases. It uses ancient methods of Ayurvedic principles to heal the body with Whole, Organic Foods. It is a must read for anyone who is seriously ill, or desirous of learning more about the amazing healing properties of whole foods and the dietary guidelines that bring about health.

This is the large book you take down from the shelf and look up things out of---similar to a "regular" medical guide, but...NOT! The wonderful twist is that the author "blends" Eastern wisdom with Western words. It sounds complicated (and it is). But worth reading (if not just to understand what it

all means). University of Berkeley Press.
