Let's Get Well: A Practical Guide to Renewed Health Through Nutrition

The condition exceeded my expectation for an out of date used book!A little frayed on corners of dust jacket but hey this is a a 45 year old book!I relied on this book all through the 70’s and 80’s , I lent it out never to be seen again.As I experience elder issues I realized how much I missed it. Information a bit outdated sure but the basic tenets of healthy eating still apply.

I've had a copy of Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis for over 30 years, and recently couldn't put my hands on my copy so ordered another one. Of course the minute it arrived I found my old one but no matter. All the easier to refer to. Lose one but have the other as a backup. This book saved my life in 1979. I had become allergic and was experiencing terrible hives all over my body for months. Doctors (the "experts") told me I'd basically have to eat rice and lamb the rest of my life. There was no hope for me. I couldn't live on benadryl forever. So I went to Let's Get Well, and found out that if your digestive enzymes that come from the pancreas are compromised, then your food is not properly digested, and your body considers these undigested bits of food "foreign bodies" and sends out "histamines" to attack the food. I had recently become diabetic, and had been very ill, but once I started taking insulin I was fine--except for the hives. My pancreas was still in distress. So I went to the health food store, bought various digestive enzymes (some are for protein foods, others for cellulose foods, etc), and tried them all. Lo and behold within 3 weeks my hives were almost gone, and I thought I would stop taking the enzymes to see if that had done it. And yes, the hives started to come back. So I kept taking the enzymes with every meal (it was wheat products I had trouble with) and slowly but surely within a couple of months I was free of the hives. When I told my doctor, he said that they never taught him nutrition in medical school, they had a quick 3-hour overview I think. So there you go. There are many, many other stories but this is long enough. Read this book, it just might change your life!!

Incredible book backed by studies and science. Actually has cures due to finding nutritional deficiencies and handling the real source of illness!

An old book - first that I read about nutrition. I bought the book when it came out. Was very surprised to find it was just what I needed to learn. Now years later I bought the book for a friend who was asking me about things like, "what to eat when you aren't sleeping well" and etc. After one question I realized that she was asking me about the things that I learned years ago from this book so I purchased a used copy for her. Didn't want to give mine up! As I said, the book was quite old so I was not surprised that the cover was torn but the book itself was in fine shape. I was happy and was proud to pass the info along. All came as advertised and in time.

Valuable. InformationTells WHY you have the symptons and how best to resolve them.A health bible.

Adelle Davis was one of the first modern nutritionists and vitamin therapists. The knowledge she shares in this book is essential in understanding how the human body utilizes the nutrients we feed it. Not only is this a great book to read, but a terrific reference book to keep on the shelf for trouble-shooting problems and illness.

I have bought this book for years and given it away toAll my Children and to anyone interested. Bless Adelle Davis Shehas changed millions of lives for the better. And this book will literatelychange your life and health for the better. It does not matter that it is anold copy the information is still good and works. Buy her You Can get well afteryou read Eat Right and Get Fit. For that is what she suggested to be done.

Great book

Whenever I have a health problem I check this book and find the remedy for the problem. This is how I have got rid of hay fever, eczema, kidney stones (my husband), and lots of all kinds of other problems. It is the best self-help book there is. I am using it since the 1980ies. I had to re-buy it several times, because it doesn't come back after lending it to somebody.

I purchased this book in the 70s and us very worn so I needed a new copy, initial I was not able to purchase as did not live in USA but thanks to COVID-19 thus changed and I was so pleased to be able to purchase a new copy. Thus book us absolutely my health bible, Adele Davis was well ahead if her times. A fantastic reference and reading book full of xcelkent advice and guidance
