This is the real life story of a medical doctor who, after suffering a heart attack at the age of 37, embarked on a journey towards optimal health both for himself and that of his patients. After experiencing the catastrophic effects which result from consuming the Standard American Diet, he now prescribes life-long health and healing through the simple practice of proper, balanced nutrition and sustainable farming.

It is an eye-opening read, especially since the book was written nearly 40 years ago. All of the concepts within it are fully supported by the current state of death and disease in North America and it holds even more credibility when you realize that the author is still alive today, at age 103. Thank you, Dr. Nichols, for sharing your insights. I recommend this book to anyone.
