When someone in your life was suffering, you'd like to get any info that could heal them. That's why we got this book in the first place. But there was nothing new here, eat vegetables, stay away from salt and sodium, etc.There are a few nuances though, such as stay away from dairy products, soy products, avocados, cucumbers, beans--I always felt that you can't go wrong when you go with nature and eat what nature has provided, so these no-no's did not make sense, especially when you're trying to increase the immune system.They also wanted that you overcook your vegetables--this too did not ring true for me.If these ring true to you, they you'd probably like this book. If it didn't, then don't get this book.
