Nutritionist Patrick Holford, a disciple of Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, and medical journalist Jerome Burne argue convincingly in this book that many chronic health problems can be successfully treated by diet instead of drugs. Intelligent, well-argued and thought-provoking stuff. Tribune
This ‘foodie’ guide looks deep into the hidden side-effects and long-term use of prescription drugs. The authors point out that as we as a society over-use prescription drugs they may no longer be doing the job . . . the research provided by the co-writers demonstrates how nutrition based programs (rather than prescribed medication) could be much more efficient.
