"A natural resource for healing, rich in knowledge and practical application."

The future of good health will be found in the same place it has always existed: in the distinct chemical constituents of fruits and vegetables. When consumed on a regular basis, these "drugs" can do more than any magic bullet medicine, vaccine, or genetic twist to prevent and help treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and the other scourges of our time.

We are what we eat. What we put into our body can accelerate or slow down the physical, mental, and emotional tolls of aging and aggravate our vulnerability to illness. Yet, optimal nutrition holds the power to maximize our genes - to help us feel, look, and be our absolute best for life - as well as treat a host of diseases.

In Food As Medicine, Dr. Dharma discusses:

• The danger of  "alarm foods."
• How to use organic juices as natural medicines.
• The risks of genetically modified foods - and how to avoid them.
• How to craft special food combination diets for specific illnesses.
• The importance of eating organic foods - and how to identify them.
• How to institute targeted vitamin and herbal therapies to accelerate healing.
• How food affects your genes - and how to use that knowledge for peak health.
• The specific health benefits of an array of fruits, vegetables, and "super foods."
• How to gently and safely detoxify the body from everyday environmental pollutants.
• New evidence on how food cures the body, strengthens the mind, and boots the spirit.
