Supermarket Remedies: Proven Home Remedies from Your Supermarket

I really liked this book. While the list of supermarket foods isn't so long, it gives you amazing information on foods you wouldn't think about. For instance, onion juice for hepatitis or garlic for spider bites. It also introduced me to the world of spice oils, not the least of which is the amazing oil of oregano, used for parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi...! Though Dr. Ingram plugs North American Herb & Spice Company, I didn't find that bothersome, as he's just giving you true and factual information of where you can get some of these products (even if he's involved with the company). Personally, I was happy to read that North American Herb & Spice Company sells these products because they're really the only company that specialize in these ingestable spice oils!! This book is a blessing!!!

This is an all-time favorite I go back to again and again; I also use it as a basis and comparison to any other info on foods. Herbs, vitamins and foods are listed for nutritional and healing properties. Each listing has several sections including preparation (some foods need to be raw, some lightly cooked, etc.), preservation, healing qualities, how much to take on an individual basis.

This is a very good book. In his book Cass Ingram lists the most available foods (incl. herbs & spices etc...) with their cures. In a first part of the book he sums up the 12 most common diseases (heart disease, cancer, arthritis, ADD, etc...) linked with the 12 most important (supermarket) remedies to cure the illness. In another chapter he reviews all possible supermarket remedies (foods), gives some tips on storing and using the foods and explains why the food can cure certain ailments. I do like this book because with some inexpensive remedies (foods) one can do wonders. No more searching for hard to find and costly remedies, but just simple remedies that can soften or cure ailments. A must have.
