Q. I am a great fan of your articles from people who have tried so many different things that help them in different situations. I am especially interested in using food as medicine. I firmly believe that what we eat has a profound impact on our overall health.
Have you put any of these remedies and experiences in a book? If so, would you please tell me how to purchase it? I have been clipping your articles for years and sending them to people, but it would be so much more convenient to have them in a book that I could send as a Christmas present.
A. You are in luck! We have just finished a brand new book called Recipes and Remedies from The People’s Pharmacy. If you would like more information just click here. This book has lots of the stories we have shared with readers of our newspaper column.
We include some of our favorite food remedies such as Cinnamon Coffee to lower blood sugar, Coconut Macaroons for irritable bowel and diarrhea, Fennel Seed Tea for gas, Persimmon Punch for heartburn, Pumpkin-Bran Muffins and “Power Pudding” for constipation, and Thyme Cough Syrup, just to name a few. You will also find delicious recipes and meal plans. We think it will make a fabulous Christmas present.
Thanks for asking!
