I like this book. Very informative. N i received a good clean book. Just like it stated it was happy with information in this bookThe book arrived very quickly, in very good condition and has enormously great information.Some things CS are good to try I this book, but unfortunately it will fool the gullible. I bought this for my mother-in-law because she asked for it. I’m not sure it’s a good book for someone who believes everything she reads.Just a quick note about this book, 'The Kitchen Table Book'. I'm one who grew up with a grandmother, that was raised in the country and in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Dr's were either not available or came at a premium. Hence, a lot of 'cures' came from home remedies and basic nutrition. This book shows in detail the benefits from the foods and spices we normally consume. It fits very well with what my grandmother was raised with and what she imparted to us along the way. It is the kind of book that should be on every kitchen table and followed as to daily nutrition. By utilizing the knowledge found in these pages, one should be able to reduce the need for doctor visits, with the exception of catastrophic events. By understanding the health benefits for the various foods, most people should be able to maintain good health without the use of supplements and multiple, doctor-prescribed medications. This book is a great guide towards that goal.This book has so many interesting and informative uses for household/natural items to help you. It is just too bad that anything natural seems to need a disclaimer because it is not a medically approved cure (FDA). Chemicals were not meant to cure anything. The author lists studies done by Big Pharma to indicate why a natural method may not work. Personally I wish we could all use what we have instead of spending a fortune on medical items which all have the potential for horrendous side effects. My personal favorite side effects are constipation, diarrhea, and death. I am not thrilled with any of them!! This book has many wonderful ideas for you and your family. If you leave it on a table, your guests will want to read it.The book gave me a lot of information that I didn’t know about Grape Juice and what controls blood pressure, Cholesterol. I love the book.I bought two copies of this book, one for my daughter and one for myself. From the very first page you'll be hooked in; there are surprising therapeutic uses for pretty much every staple you have in your pantry and fridge. I took the time to research several of the items that were recommended and found substantial documentation to back up the recommendations, medical abstracts & studies etc. I am not a fan of books that pimp supplements or vits or certain alleged superfoods that are based on he-said/she-said non-factual hype. You can rely on what you read here and put it to use to make yourself & your family healthier, happier. HIGHLY recommended~Ran out of dishwasher packets (which include water spot removal) so I usedand off brand of dishwasher detergent I had as back-up but I had no "spot removal" liquid for the separatecompartment on dishwasher door...So, I referred to this book and it gave me the idea of using vinegar instead of"Jet liquid" for spot removal during the rinse cycle...Guess what?? No spotsand at a fraction of the cost!! In the future, I will now purchase the off brand detergent and continue to use vinegarsince it did a great job and is sooo cheap!an excellent publication for the purpose intended. would recommend it to any chef
