Read, then act on this!!!

This book spells out easily and completely the way to take charge and improve your health now. If you never start, you will not begin to reverse the years of food, chemical, and environment poisoning that your body has become accustomed to leading to the onset of the major diseases and ill health conditions that his generation is experiencing in proportions never before known. In conjunction with other Wheatgrass and Ann Wigmore books, I feel better without medicine or pharmaceuticals of any kind in only a few short weeks. I lost 15 pounds the first two weeks without strenuous dieting. My craving for sweets has disappeared without any thought or struggle. Understanding these simple practices of biology is made easy through these books fromthe Hippocrates Institute.

Enzymes, Enzymes, Enzymes

This is one of the few books out there which teaches you how to take charge of your health in a very simple approach. No matter if you need to loose weight, want to save money in the kitchen or have more serious health problems such as cancer or chronic fatigue; Ann Wigmore gives you a clear picture how to get started. Basically it's all about enzymes which metabolize your food and which are needed for every function in your body. Without enzymes there would be no life in your body. Where do you find these enzymes? They are avaiable by eating fesh organic fruits, vegetables, sprouts and nuts/seeds. After 20 years of trying diffrent approaches to become healthier, this is the most significant one I've taken. It really makes a difference. Do you ever feel tired or bloated after a meal? Try her recipes and you will feel light and energized afterwards. I can really recommend this book to everyone who wants to be healthier, happier and more loving.

Intelligently written

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.

YES!

What can be said about Ann Wigmore and this book, except for the incredible importance and wisdom they have brought. If you want to heal and abide by the healthiest and most natural diet in the world, this book is it. I say this after 20 years of diet, research, and lifestyle experimentation. I am a healthy surfer (but I also work full-time), and say to you all- let the sunshine into your being- drink wheatgrass and read this book. The other best health book in the world is "The Miracle of Fasting" by the other late and great Paul C. Bragg. He and Ann Wigmore were amazing, courageous, and self-disciplined people in the field of health. These books shall survive them, and do us all well, forevemore. I'm "stoked"! :)

Raw Food for Health: Easy to read, from a true believer

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.
