Part 1: 'Food Is Medicine' by Pierre Jean Cousin

What is less well known is that specific foods can not only prevent specific medical conditions but in many cases can heal them or alleviate their symptoms. Part One is a practical guide to the healing properties of foods (and drinks), organised with charts and thorough cross-referencing to give the reader instant access to the vital facts.
Part 2: 'Eat For Immunity' by Kirsten Hartvig
A healthy immune system is the key to good health. Part Two shows you how to prevent disease and fight infection using the most natural medicine there is - food. By following the simple principles and making the tasty, nutritious recipes part of your everyday diet, you will boost your body's defence system and not only feel better but look better and enjoy increased vitality too.
Both parts have been carefully structured so that they can be used in various ways according to your needs:
