I Am Healed Now And Forever!,
“Health Food” has saved my life.
God has miraculously healed me of terminal cancer because I am able to apply principles from this book.
I always say, “I am healed now and forever!” because I believe that in my heart.
In “Health Food”, Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin believes that:
1. God is a good God.
2. Healing the sick is God’s will.
3. God sets the Church against sickness.
As I open my heart to the teachings of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin, I experience life more abundantly.
I have become a “believing” believer. I believe according to what God’s Word says and my actions line up with God’s Word. No obstacle to the blessings of God can stand in my way. I overcome all obstacles by faith in God’s Word!
Health and healing belong to every “believing” believer, but to receive these wonderful blessings, “believing” believers must feed on God’s Word.
In this book, Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin shares principles from God’s Word that help us receive the healing Jesus purchased for us more than 2 thousand years ago.
Again I say, “By Jesus’ wounds I have been healed. So be It!”

Health Food,
It is helping me receive the truth, that I have ALREADY been healed, by the stripes of Jesus, according to Isaiah 53:5 & 1Peter 2:24. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs this assurance. It is easy reading and holds my attention. I KNOW healing will manifest in my body before I finish this book. I can feel my faith soaring as I read. Don’t hesitate buying this one!!

Coffee and chocolate and wine, oh my! Buy this book!,
`The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth’ by Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. is the latest and best of the healthy eating genre, the `best foods’ book. Earlier entries in this category are `Superfoods’ by Steven Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews and the ’12 Best Foods Cookbook’ by Dana Jacobi. Bowden’s book is different in three directions from these other volumes. First, it contains no recipes. This is little loss, as the second difference, the much longer list of `good’ foods more than makes it up. One can quite easily find good recipes for these foods by yourself. For starters, just get Pratt and Jacobi’s books! The third difference is that the author has many comments on what is NOT good for you, what you should avoid, as well as the many things you should search out.
The very best news in this book is the revelation (or confirmation, if you are up on your nutritional news flashes) that coffee, wine, butter, eggs, chocolate, cinnamon and watermelon are GOOD FOR YOU! One of the biggest surprises is that most soy products and many milk products (although NOT cheese and yogurt) are NOT good for you. Weak soy products include soy milk and tofu. Fermented soy products such as miso, like so many other fermented food products (yogurt, Kimchee, cheeses and sauerkraut) are still valuable, enhanced by the friendly bacteria responsible for the fermentation.
In spite of all the great news about some guilty pleasures, Bowden gives no relief for the bread and pasta lovers among us. It seems that grains such as wheat and rice, no matter how `unfussed about with’, are high in `empty calories’. Processed white grain and their wheats come off as being close to being poisonous! I’m exaggerating, of course, but I sometimes have the feeling that our good Dr. Bowden sometimes overstates his case just a smidge. One example that caught my eye was his opinion on the relative value of the commercially packaged honey (regardless of flowery source) versus raw honey in the comb. While I am not intimate with all the details of honey processing, I have seen some of the steps, and I honestly can’t see how a bit of centrifugation and even pasteurization can succeed in turning something good into something bad or at least neutral. On the other hand, Bowden does agree with a general position on food processing that claims that all heat treatment such as pasteurization degrades foods. The entire `Raw’ food movement is based on this premise. So, while I am not ready to go out and buy my dehydrator and ship my range off to the metal recycler, I chalk some points up to the `Raw’ camp from this very knowledgeably written book. One question I would pose to the Raw camp is how can you deal with especially good foods such as bitter greens which are almost inedible, or at least unpalatable if left uncooked.
One thing I find missing in this and virtually all other books on nutrition is a good practical sense of what in economics is called the marginal value of one food over another. For example, what is the practical difference to us between raw honey and `processed’ honey. I will grant the difference, but is that difference worth the effort required to search out a source for raw honey when the `Sue Bee’ honey bear is on every supermarket shelf. A more serious thought on the marginal value of foods arises when the author, or any other nutritional author touts a particular nutritional benefit, such as the anti-prostate cancer properties of lycopene found in both tomatoes and watermelon. As I am genetically predisposed to prostate cancer, I am inclined to wolf down as many tomato preparations as I can get my hands on. My problem is that this `hope’ is probably pretty slim. Two portions of tomatoes a day for the rest of my life will probably change my chances by about 0.2%. I’m just guessing here, but I have a hunch that if someone ate a perfect diet according to these recommendation, the difference may still be too small to measure. This is why the author’s negative comments about grains, milk, and soy are probably more valuable, as they warn us against things which we have for generations believed to be especially good for us.
I found only one weakness in Dr. Bowden’s facts, or at least in his completeness. In the article about cinnamon, he does not distinguish between true cinnamon (cinnamonum zelanicum) from Sri Lanka and it’s close lookalike, cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) from China and southeast Asia. My hunch is that the good doctor was really talking about cassia. He would have removed a small blemish on his thoroughness if he would have distinguished the two. In general, he would have given a small bone to those of us who dote on such things if he were to have given the scientific names for all plant and animal food sources.
Overall, this is a really good book on nutrition. Not because it’s facts are better than those in many other books on nutrition, but rather because the cases for both…

A Must-Have,
This is a beautifully presented book, a pleasure to look at with its crisp photos and clean layout. The content more than matches the promise of the aesthetics – it’s packed with all sorts of gems, including:
* “Ask the Expert” top 10 food lists from various authorities who are either health writers or practitioners
* starred entries within the list of 150 foods, designating the cream of the crop
* a glossary that helpfully defines various nutrients, hormones, diseases, etc
* mini-lessons on such hot topics as the glycemic index, differentiation of fats, and eating organically
* interpretation of foods from homeopathic, Ayurvedic, and yoga nutritional therapy perspectives
The 150 selected foods are organised into chapters by food genres: Vegetables; Grains; Beans & Legumes; Fruits; Nuts, Seeds, and Nut Butters; Soy Foods; Dairy; Meat, Poultry, and Eggs; Fish and Seafood; Specialty Foods; Beverages; Herb, Spices, and Condiments; Oils; and Sweeteners. Each food listing carries an explanation of which nutrients makes it a winner, why these nutrients are so good for us, who in particular would benefit, and who’s at risk and so should avoid that particular food. Jonny even frequently provides tips on selection and preparation.
So much of the information is fascinating, and often surprising. Discover that cashews are a member of the poison ivy family, while eggplant is actually a berry and falls into the nightshade grouping. Learn that raspberries are calorie for calorie one of the most high-fibre foods on the planet, and that spinach and tomatoes are great for your eyes thanks to the lutein in them. Determine how to convert unsalted butter to ghee, which is one of the finest cooking oils available and provides an important rejuvenating tonic for the mind, brain, and nervous system. And realize that country of origin of cheese affects its cancer-fighting, fat-reducing properties.
Although very entertaining, this book is still solidly backed by the science. The research presented is impressive, but Jonny is adept at making complex things simple. As a result, the book is an easy and engaging read – so much so that it feels a little like enjoying a conversation with Jonny over a cup of coffee (or, after reading this book, a glass of noni juice!).
If you want to understand what you’re eating, its properties and how it affects your body, this well-considered book is a must-have. As a health and fitness trainer, I’m enthusiastically recommending this book to all my clients so they can achieve fat loss, health, and performance goals through informed dietary choices.

The book I’ve been waiting for my whole life!!!,
This book could not be any better. There are a million books out there that tell you what foods are healthy and, anyone that has paid any attention at all, can tell you what is healthy and what is not. But this book goes farther by giving you all the research and little known facts about so many different foods. And it presents both sides of controversial topics, such as soy. I now have a resource to see how I can correct problems through nutrition. This is highly recommended for anyone that has an interest in improving their health through nutrition. Thank you!!!
