Healing Nutrients

Healing Nutrients is a layman's nutritional guide that will show you how to treat a list of health conditions and increase your immunity level through food and food supplements. The book, for the most part, is organized by body system - the circulatory, immune, nervous, reproductive, endocrine, skeletal, digestive, muscular, excretory, and respiratory systems. The text covers both common ailments such as allergies or wrinkling and more serious diseases such as cancer or AIDS. The author, Patrick Quillin, holds Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees in nutrition and is a registered and licensed dietitian (RD & LD) and Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) with the American College of Nutrition. He has written several books on nutrition and healing, including Beating Cancer with Nutrition (revised edition coming out this month). His guidelines and solutions are practical, e.g., to prevent, treat and perhaps cure arthritis, (1) eliminate meat, milk and wheat for two weeks to see if it improves arthritic symptoms (an elimination diet can help many arthritics), (2) experiment with a vegetarian regimen which can be effective and (3) place special emphasis on beans for their sulfur content. A list of daily supplements that may help arthritics is also provided. All of Quillin's assertions are supported by scientific studies that he amply explains and references. Anyone interested in eating the foods, vitamins and minerals that will improve their health will find Healing Nutrients an easy-to-use, concise yet complete ready-reference.

People need to understand the basics and then how to apply it to everyday life. This book is very thorough so you can accomplish good health step-by-step. Very accurate info and I know because I'm a dietitian and nutritionist. Great reading for those who need the basics but like to see it broken down for each system of the body.
