Wish I had read this book 20 years ago!

The author is so way ahead of her time. In light of the fact that this book was produced 20 years ago, the information it relays is now being proven over and over today. Raw milk is now outlawed for sale... and we let this happen. Hopefully this can be changed as more folks discover the health benefits of fermentation.

Interesting & Informative

Packed with information.
I've listened to it a couple of times. Half of it is educational the other half is a cookbook. They don't read the recipies out loud but I believe there is a pdf. I got the hard copy. I love the recipies so far.
I'm glad I got it.

Flies in the face of Big Food

This book, if read and absorbed, will change your life. I like to listen with the physical book nearby, so I can run over and highlight parts of it that stand out to me. If you are a fan of governmental agencies, and believing what they tell you is good for you, this information will sound outrageous. Stick with it, and you will notice that it rings true to your intuition. No more needs to be said.

amazing

loved this book.I loved all the information. we should always be learning new things but the old is timeless.

nutrition knowledge

Much better narrative then some others I've heard. Very enlightening book, a must read!

Excellent source of sound nutritional information

I bought a crock pot and made my first chicken broth from backs and feet last week. Next up homemade yogurts and cheeses

A Must For Functional Medicine Practitioners

Plenty of info on ancient wisdoms and relevant topics. A times a big lengthy, but overall is a great resource. No wonder day by day we as a planet get sicker and sicker...the influence of poor nutrition covers all areas of life, from energy and physical performance to brain health and endocrine disorders.

No full pdf

I was extremely dissatisfied that the included pdf is only a partial amount of the entire text! Should be expressed so buyers can understand what they’re purchasing. Wonderful book though.

Good book to read and have as a reference

The book covers a lot of topics about dieting, research and traditional diets from around the world. It is good to read something which does not just repeat whatever is the fashionable trendy diet at the moment. There are some controversial topic regarding red meat and saturated fats, but the author has pretty convincing arguments if you read it with an open mind and don't follow some dogmatised diet e.g. veganism and are willing to hear different arguments. There is a lot to learn from this book even if you don't agree with everything.
