The Wisdom and Healing Power of Whole Foods: The Ultimate Handbook for Using Whole Foods and Lifestyle Changes to Bolster Your Body's Ability to Repai

Dr. Quillin's book is very easy to read and understand. This excellent book explains the health benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables. His common sense approach to understanding which foods we should seek out and which should be avoided is highlighted with a foldout chart listing foods from best to worst. He explains why it is important to maintain a healthy weight and the health risks of being overweight. The chapter on the benefits of whole foods list many fruits and vegetables as well as nuts, chocolate and other foods giving us a snapshot into what foods to eat to boost ones immune system and help prevent some common diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and stroke. This is a must read for those searching for general rules for wellness and anyone looking to minimize health care costs as well as those wanting to get their kids started early on a healthy and delicious nutritional path.

Health, health care, and the cost of health care are on the minds of many Americans. This book brings facts to the lay reader in a visual fashion. Charts and graphs help explain complex points. The book is an easy read. There is a color chart "rating your foods" that needs to be taped to the refrigerator in every American kitchen. The chapter on "Health Care Meltdown" summarizes the problems facing Americans and offers meaningful solutions. The audio CD is professionally done and serves a purpose for those too busy to read the book. The book is well edited and proofread. The chapter "General Rules of Wellness" includes Powerpoint slides to make short punchy points. Apparently the acerbic reviewer is not familiar with a slide presentation which uses short incomplete sentences for brevity. The power of whole foods to prevent and even reverse many common ailments (especially type 2 diabetes and obesity) should be incorporated into both educational and clinical settings throughout Western society. This book offers hope to millions who cannot afford health insurance or have a dismal prognosis from their doctor.

They say "you can't tell a book by its cover" but that's not true here. Internationally respected author Patrick Quillin's book is both beautiful to look at and very useful and easy to read. As a long time nurse and public health practitioner and cancer survivor, I found the information accurate and relevant to modern eaters, who may be destined for early illness if they do not change their dietary habits. Quillin's book offers a nice color chart with "rating your foods" that encapsulates many good nutrition textbooks, and also a time saving audio CD for those stuck in traffic with not enough time to read this good book. America's looming health care crisis would be relatively minor if people put the principles and concepts in this book into practice. I will refer others interested in good health to this book.
