Improving
Health and Longevity with Native Nutrition
by Ronald F. Schmid, N.D.
About
the Book This book traces the cause of many
chronic health problems to our modern diet and
shows how a return to traditional foods can
improve one's well-being. Modern medicine now
recognizes that the present-day Western diet is
responsible for many of today's chronic illnesses.
Nutritionists and anthropologists have noted the
decline in health that accompanies indigenous
peoples' transition from traditional to modern
diets. In Traditional Foods Are Your Best
Medicine, Ron Schmid explains how a return to a
traditional diet can help you reduce your risk of
heart attack by 50 percent; fight allergies,
chronic fatigue, arthritis, skin problems, and
headaches; recover from colds and flu in a day or
two; and increase your life-expectancy. Chapters
focusing on the major food groups, common diets,
and health goals enable you to tailor a diet to
your special needs. New edition, previously titled
Native Nutrition.

Reviews
"A provocative contribution to the debate
on what constitutes a healthy diet. It deserves to
be widely read." The Boston Herald
"An
excellent, comprehensive book. Dr. Schmid blends
the wisdom of traditional eating patterns with
modern scientific knowledge." Annemarie
Colbin, author of Food and Healing
"In
our rapidly changing world where technology is
king, we have forgotten that native peoples once
thrived, disease-free, until the introduction of
refined foods into their diets. This is
dramatically revealed in Traditional Foods Are
Your Best Medicine. . . . I've reviewed dozens of
books on nutrition over the years, but Traditional
Foods Are Your Best Medicine put a lot of things
in perspective for me." Irene Alleger in The
Townsend Letter for Doctors
