One of my favorite (and most obscure) health books!

I'm a bonafide health nut (of the raw foodist -- or mostly raw vegetarian -- variety) and I found this book to be wonderfully enriching to my knowledge of nutrition and healing even though Dr. Morrison recommends some foods in his book I would in most cases choose not to consume. I am totally amazed to see it being sold for as little as 50 cents here -- what a steal...! I am a collector of health books -- most especially those that use food as medicine and medicine as food and there are pearls in this book I found in no others. (Not to say they don't exist. My own collection of books is probably not more than a few hundred over the past decade.) I have experienced the power and magic of foods (especially raw foods) for healing and weight loss. A sample of the sorts of gems one can glean from this wonderful book written by a man with clinical experience and a view to natural healing plus an innovative mind and humanitarian passion: * arthritic symptoms disappear on raw food diet * raw beet juice for the kidneys * exercises to adjust your own spine * cleansing and repairing the liver after lead poisoning (including ingestion of watermelon, tomatoes, brewer's yeast, [non-GMO] lecithin and radishes) * hot-cold technique for "waking up" the liver * longevity foods for the pancreas * radishes and raspberries for the gall bladder * cranberries for the asthmatic * use of blackstrap molasses (not raw, but because of this book I do use it sometimes -- am still on the fence about this) * foods to feed and restore the kidneys * healing foods for the prostate * foods to recondition the uterus * foods that can often regenerate damaged nerves ...and much, much more. This book was written before soy lecithin was mostly genetically engineered so I advise against taking his advice to take lecithin unless you have a truly organic source. If you are interested in the healing power of foods and natural healing I think you will be thrilled to add this book to your collection!
