Wisdom of Healing

Here is a list of several of my most favorite health and cookbooks. Most of them accurately reflect my views and what you’ve read in other posts here on my site. However, some of the cookbooks, while containing lots of great recipes, also contain an occasional ingredient that I wouldn’t necessarily use or suggest for optimal health, such as soy milk. (Please read: The Great Soy Debate if you haven’t already.) A simple substitution of almond milk, or the like, will work in these cases.
