Book of Charts
Have you ever wondered what selenium is good for, why you should take it, or where you can get it besides in a bottle?? ( You should read about it!) Or what, exactly, does vitamin A do for you (besides help your vision), and where you can get it besides carrots?
Have you wondered what you could take for your specific ailment, or wondered why, when you take something suggested, it doesn't seem to work? These charts are packed with info on vitamins and minerals that either help to enhance your absorption, or prevent your absorption, of what your body is craving.
This book of charts (almost 60 pages!) is an awesome resource for those into raw food, nutrional healing, or weight loss. The first 30 pages have the vitamin, mineral, and protein, fats, carbs, and caloric content of many types of foods- not just raw, but a study of the numbers will give you an idea of why the raw food diet is so healing.
The second 30 pages is like a reverse of the first 30, meaning that each vitamin and mineral is described, and info on dosages, augmenting nutrients, anti-vitamins, sources (both plant and animal), deficiency symptoms, therapeutic applications, and more is given. Each vitamin and mineral in this section is conveniently put onto one page, for ease of use. This is a very eye opening, informative resource, indeed!
Below is a small sampling of what is in the first 30 pages. This is just part of the mineral section. This is truly a great resource for those interested in using food for healing: "Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be food."
