Introduction

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Hippocrates, the father of medicine

Food is required for life. From the simplest one-celled organism to the most complex of animals—all require a variety of essential nutrients to stay alive and function healthily.

Over the years, a number of diets, both fad and scientifically led, have existed to promote a healthy lifestyle, reduce obesity, and improve well-being. Countless diets and nutrition regimes have come and gone, including, among others, the Paleolithic (Paleo) diet, with its focus on wild foods, the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet, and the nutrition-based, low-carb diet promoted by Dr. Broda Barnes. However, the most crucial element to take from any one of these is the focus on nutrients for health and listening to the needs of your own body. The Illustrated Food Remedies Sourcebook provides a reference to promote health and well-being, as well as to cure ailments and illnesses, nourishing from the inside out. Feel free to read the book from cover to cover, or dip in and out, using the index at the back to guide you. Simple tweaks to your everyday diet could add up to huge changes in your future health!

1 The table lists the Daily Values (DVs) based on an intake of 2,000 calories, for adults and children four or more years of age. The nutrients in the table above are listed in the order in which they are required to appear on a dietary supplement label. This list includes only those nutrients for which a DV has been established.

These levels may prevent serious deficiency diseases such as pellagra, beriberi and scurvy, however Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin (1916–2001) demonstrated in the late 1970s that the optimal healthy intake of many of these is far higher. For example, we know now that at least 1,000, and even up to 2,000, mg of vitamin C is far healthier. And in adults at least 5,000 units of D3 is healthier.
