"Jim Duke was the first to pioneer the concept of
f
ood as drugs and
back it up with first-class research. Now Jim has written the ultimate
guide,
The Green Pharmacy.
In our home, we've
f
ollowed Jim's recipes
f
or years.
The Green Pharmacy
allows you to do the same. It's easy to
use and a highly reliable handbook."
—Bob Arnot, M.D., author of
Perfect Weight Control
"America's 'herbal laureate' has done it again! Jim Duke has
brought his energy, enthusiasm, expertise and genius to the pages o
f
The
Green Pharmacy.
Fascinating reading
f
or anyone interested in health
care and herbs."
—Michael Balick, director of the Institute o
f
Economic Botany at the
New York Botanical Garden
"[Dr. Duke] puts so much o
f
his own personality into his writing that
the reader
f
eels as i
f
she is participating in a
f
riendly, in
f
ormative and
entertaining conversation. I think this is the essence o
f
his success. The
depth o
f
his knowledge and expertise is amazing—but, to me, even
more impressive is his ability to communicate this knowledge to others
in a straight
f
orward, easily understood and sympathetic style. What
other re
f
erence book on health care could be so hard to put down? I read
right through the book,
f
rom cover to cover, and learned something new
on every page!"
