For more than forty years, Ann Wigmore, founder of the renowned Hippocrates Health Institute and internationally acclaimed holistic health educator, taught that what we eat profoundly affects our health. She was among the first to note that our modern diet of “convenience food” was the prime cause of illness and obesity, and she offered a positive alternative.
Developed over a twenty-year period at the Hippocrates Health Institute, one of the nation’s first and finest holistic health centers, the Hippocrates Diet allows the body to correct its problems naturally and at its own pace. Through a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and super nutritious foods such as sprouts and wheatgrass juice, all of which are prepared without cooking, the body is able to restore its internal balance—and its capacity to maintain a healthy weight, fight disease, and heal itself.
The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program is an indispensible guide to healthy living, filled with easy-to-follow recipes and money-saving health tips. It is never easy for anyone to break bad eating habits, but when you are ready to make the decision to lose weight, regain youthful energy, or prevent illness, The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program can be your guide.

Wheatgrass juice is superjuice.
I love that book a lot. As I was young, I ate moderate, like most people are eating. We have organic cooked food meat and also organic baked bread.But in our society, people eat what they like, what tastes best and is affordibale, but no one really knows what is really healthy.There is also a lot of false information out there, because the industry wants to earn billions of money and they use the complexity of food toconfuse the people. Then they say, we have to put much sugar into cereals, because people buy it. But there are only a few good nutrition experts out there to help us to swim against the medioc main stream of nutrition. Highly processed food pasteurized and cooked food is dead food.I created a bad eating habbit, because I wanted to reward myself with sweets. It is kind of interesting, sugar – sweets can be a dangerous substitude for love and acceptance. What I found out, that white refined sugar is dangerous in big quantities, because it eats up the minerals in the body and causes hair and bone loss. It also is acidic and that causes the body to use up the few minerals in the blood to keep the right ph in the blood.If the body has a lack of minerals, because of poor nutrition, than it has to take the minerals of the hair. The hair gets thinner and falls out over the period of years. As I improved my diet with fresh made vegetable juices and sprouts my hair became stronger and thicker. Also I cut short the bad sweets like cookies , cakes, chocolate, ice cream…That is why I love books like the hippocraties diet, because they give us precious informations, how to feed our bodies healthy. The only thing which is not up to date are the old models of juicers. Back 50 years ago the champion juicer was the top of the line, today it is the Omega VSJ 843 430$, or the angel juicer 959$.First I believed healthy food tastes no good. But that is wrong. There are many thousands of recipies out there, which taste great, you only have to check them out. The tastebuts change after they get used to certain foods. I will grow wheatgrass myself and do sprouting, because this is the best way to have high quality food for maximum life and fun.Your Veit Ullrich

Fantastic book
So easy to read, so informative. It is an eye opener if you believe that food is meant to preserve your health not only to reward your palate. To follow this diet a hundred percent is very difficult, at least it has been form me, but I have increased my consumption of raw living foods to become at least 80% of my daily diet and in a very short amount of time I have seen such a big difference, and I was already on a “healthy” vegetarian diet. My mood, energy levels, sleep time have all improved in an unexpected manner. It is unbelievable that this knowledge has been around for so long and is so little known. Specially these days with so many nutrition related diseases.threatening our health and our pockets.

Read, then act on this!!!
This book spells out easily and completely the way to take charge and improve your health now. If you never start, you will not begin to reverse the years of food, chemical, and environment poisoning that your body has become accustomed to leading to the onset of the major diseases and ill health conditions that his generation is experiencing in proportions never before known.In conjunction with other Wheatgrass and Ann Wigmore books, I feel better without medicine or pharmaceuticals of any kind in only a few short weeks. I lost 15 pounds the first two weeks without strenuous dieting. My craving for sweets has disappeared without any thought or struggle. Understanding these simple practices of biology is made easy through these books fromthe Hippocrates Institute.

poison conspiracy
Discovering the basic information in Wigmore’s could easily prompt one to feel there is a poison conspiracy within the health system, at least in the U.S. We constantly hear about new “life saving vaccines” for everything from measles to the swine flu, from cancer to aids and yet it’s never made clear that these “medical wonders” actually do NOTHING to their targeted ailments. Their ONLY purpose is to “prompt” our bodies to protect us from them. In other words for our bodies to naturally provide a defense or cure for the disease or ailment. Wigmore accurately points out that this natural ability to maintain good health is something we have within our bodies, evolved over millions of years of surviving in the midst of all the maladies our world has produced. Why are we suffering from the myriad of health challenges we suddenly find in our world? We have to look no further than what we are putting in our mouths. While what we are doing to our planet in terms of pollution etc. has an effect on our health she accurately points out that it is our cooked, over processed food that is turning off our natural healing power. This of course produces enormous profit for our “for profit” health system. While I do not subscribe to a conspiracy I think Wigmore gives us the essence of what we need for optimum health. It’s enzymes.

I like this book but it is not interesting enough
This book is good but I was not able to get through it. Maybe I am not ready to embrace all the changes this books suggests to become healthy. I think I would need to be very rich to afford this type of lifestyle. There is very good information in the book I just can’t live it. If I personally had family support to follow the directions in the book, I would most likely have been able to get through the book. Unfortunately the book was not motivating enough for me to stick with it to the very end of the book.

This book gives a really good overview of most aspects that you are likely to encounter concerning a raw food diet.There are probably books that go more in depth and some which are more exiting but as a first step into the world of raw food eating this is just the right size, giving enough quality info without overwhelming or boring you.Ann Wigmore who I think was one of the modern pioneers of raw food eating gives plenty of scientific facts to back up what in our culture is a very forward thinking and alternative health approach which is particularly useful for those who have doubts about weather they really can live on raw food alone.I have read and delved into a number of different books and web sources but this has probably been the most practical and useful book and one which i will refer back to from time to time.For anyone considering a raw food diet, I have been eating raw for a few months at time of writing this and its great. I’m not fanatical about it and I still eat cooked food occasionally such as going out for dinner at restaurants or at friends houses, but generally just raw. My tastes changed to the point where the desire for junk just dropped away. It also changes your perception of life, makes you more sensitive and aware. Also, the weight just drops away but without ever becoming underweight or under nourished. Try it!
Anne aime lire et tester –
Ce livre est un bon résumé de tout ce qu’il faut faire pour arriver à appliquer le programme d’Ann Wigmore. C’est tres impressionnant surtout si on se rapelle que ce livre a été écrit en 1983 soit il y a plus de 25 ans. Ca ne peut que nous encourager à suivre les enseignements de cet convaincue de la nutrition. Elle aborde aussi les themes du nettoyage du corps et de la prévention. J’ai devore ce livre et le recommande à tous ceux qui veulent connaitre le mode de nutrition du cru.

Really solid information from someone who researched and innovated in this field. In other words, this is not second hand information. The recipes are really useful and quite simple. They really get you into the diet.

This book is the work of the late Ann Wigmore who ran a natural health clinic in the USA. It is very interesting, outlining the clinic’s approach to cleansing various body organs (e.g. colon, liver, kidneys) using dirt and in particular ‘wheat grass’.After reading it I purchased Ann’s autobiography ‘Why Suffer’ which I found enthralling (though perhaps she could have chosen a better title). I was entirely satisfied with my purchases via Amazon. Thee books were in excellent condiiton. well-packaged and promptly delivered.
