Media Reviews
A healthy eating book with a difference - specifically geared to explaining and boosting the immune system, the body's first line of defence against illness. Hartvig, naturopath co-author of You Are What You Eat and The Detox Box, taps into the growing interest in self-healing and also in counteracting allergies, although her recommendations work alongside other treatments rather than replacing them. All the foods are plant-based, including unusual ones packed with fortifying nutrients like nettle, curly kale and Brazil nuts among the more obvious fruit, veg and pulses. She has specific antidotes for common ailments and a good variety of recipes which requires some dedication in terms of juicing or chopping up ingredients. But enhanced health should be worth the effort and this is a sound, if specialised, book on the subject.
