The Soil not the Seed - A Self-help Guide to Healthy Eating

It is not the intention of this book to try and teach you diagnostic skills which can only be learnt after many years of study and practice. Instead, you will learn that by studying more closely the needs of every organ and system in the body and how they can be affected by changes to our environment - both internal and external - you can understand more fully the many ways in which you can assist or hinder your attempts at regaining your health through the foods you eat and the herbs you take.

The dietary health program that you will develop as you work through this book has been designed to be as flexible as possible and meet the needs of a wide range of health problems. By working with these, your diet - whether meat eater, vegetarian or vegan - will become more nutritious, more balanced, more supportive to every body system, and you will become more effective at detecting and then eliminating your symptoms.

In addition, it will take you from a diet that keeps you in a below par state of health to one that can increase your energy, make you feel better, look better, and function better.

So for those of you who have already tried to improve your health and been less than successful, for those of you who have run out of ideas as to how to get rid of your health problems, or for those of you who have just begun on your path to health - this book is for you.
