Do you know your medicines might make you ill?This book tells how you can reduce your dependence on medicines. The sooner you adopt, the healthier you live. Go disease-free!Over the years, we have been repeating the same eating mistakes that our parents made. This is the reason why the prevalence of diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis is increasing in the population over … increasing in the population over time.
In Eat to Prevent and Control Disease, research scientist and registered state pharmacist La Fonceur will tell you how foods that work with the same mechanism as medicines can naturally prevent and control disease. How can you build your body in such a way that you do not need medications even in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s? How can you prevent disease even if you have a family history of that disease? How can you control chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and many others?
With a better understanding of the disease, you can control it yourself. When you follow the advice and preventive measures given in the book, If you do not have any disease, then in the future also you will not have any disease. If you are already suffering from a disease, you can control it without medicines. If your disease is chronic and you are dependent on medicines, then you can reduce the dose of your medications as well as their side effects.

In the old days it was common knowledge that fhe food you ate could make you sick or healthy. We have records of medicinal herbal kitchen gardens for longer than a thousand years. Sadly in our fast-paced time much of that knowledge is not passed on to the next generation.
This is where this and similar books step in to show how one can integrate food to prevent disease or to support a treatment simply by complementing the treatment with the right kind of food. The book offers a mix of recipes, influenced by several countries, thus probably making it easier for the reader to get started with the more familiar food.

You cannot just read; you must do
This offering is a concise, well-written book that contains well-documented advice that I have seen in various far-flung sources. The information is gathered together in one accessible read format.
There are lists of things not to eat, and a list of foods, herbs, supplements for each type of problem covered.
The author doesn’t sugarcoat the consequences of what doing nothing will do to one’s body.
I received a free ARC copy and am glad I did. This book needs to be handy for grocery and pharmacy shopping.
Short and to the point. It covers diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. Good information.
Interesting book with important information.
Eat to Prevent and Control Disease: is a very comprehensive book about how eating or not eating certain things can affect your health, even cure it and how to prevent some diseases. There are many tops in how superfoods help you regain health from diseases. There are also useful recipes in the book. It is extensively described how certain foods work to the advantage or disadvantage of a certain condition or disease. It also explains very clearly how to boost the immune system. There is a lot of information in this book and it is extensively discussed what superfoods are and and and how you can best use them and for what. A nice book to have for people who want to improve their health with healthy food, I will certainly use some tips

As an RN, I Don’t Quite Agree
Written by a pharmacist, this book has a unique perspective on what to eat to prevent and control what she sees as the three big chronic diseases that can be preventable through diet and lifestyle change: diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. As she is a pharmacist, she spent a fair amount of time talking about medications both in the introductory section as well as the chapters specifically on the diseases. The introductory section attempts to bust some myths about both medication and nutrition in disease prevention and control. I am a nurse and have been diabetic for 22 years. I found myself disagreeing with this author in many places, both in the general discussion as well as in the specific ones about the diseases. I don’t necessarily buy that one has to eat certain specific superfoods every day to remain disease free (and I don’t see cow’s milk as being a superfood!). In general, I think we’re healthier if we choose natural, unprocessed options for protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Foods that give you more bang for your nutritional buck are fine but not the only important thing in diet. I actually vigorously disagreed with some of the statements in the diabetes sections. The connections to some foods mentioned, whether eat or not eat, are tenuous at best or up for debate. For instance, a whole set of American doctors (e.g., Neil Barnard, John MacDougall, etc.) who firmly believe that starchy foods are completely fine for everyone, including diabetics or anyone concerned about becoming one. So, while I appreciated some aspects of this book, I disagreed with a lot of it because of my own clinical and personal experience and research. As with anything about disease and health, take it with a grain of salt as one person’s perspective but do your own research.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
