This is an excellent little book. This book offers "foods that heal" and interesting health/food subjects, as well, as a myriad of helpful food factoids and tips to assist the reader on the road to wellness.
Dr. Jensen not only goes into depth about each of the foods he has chosen as the ones that heal, offering a ton of history for each and how each food can best be used, but he also quickly built a foundation about the very basic physiological needs of the body. From there, Dr. Jensen discusses the most common mineral deficiencies in humans and which foods are rich in them.
Among his many helpful offerings, Dr. Jensen provides a small list of common disorders and juice recipe cocktails that can help the conditions. He also has a chart of the 12 major body systems, which vitamins and minerals they require, and from which foods and herbs you can get them from. ANOTHER chart he offers is what he calls a "food remedy troubleshooting chart" which is basically just a quick overview of what is to come. It's a list of all the "chosen" foods, which chemical elements are most prominent, and what the foods are best FOR.
Dr. Jensen also quickly touches upon his food philosophy and beliefs and his suggestions for diet, such as eating 60% raw, 80% alkaline foods, etc.
Overall, this is just an excellent book, chock full of information. There's no way anyone could lose out from owning this awesome book. There is just so much offered here, I can't imagine ANYONE not being satisfied with it.
And just something worth noting, all of the foods in the book, with the exception of two items (lima beans and lentils), are either a fruit or vegetable. And while that is the case, he does mention some other foods that he believes to be wonderful in their healing and nutritive properties.
