The Truth About Food -- The Good, The Bad, and The Downright Dangerous: Revealing the true nutritional and vibrational content of different foods and how they affect our health
This book is the single most motivating book on food, and what we need to eat to be healthy, that I've ever read. When I became severely anaemic, after having spent 30 years as a vegetarian, Weston A Price and others were helpful but I still felt I had a hodge-podge of knowledge that was not synthesized in such a way that I could take action on it. Gillian Drake's book does that for me. In a clear analysis, this book outlines what's wrong with the state of our foods, how we were led down these paths of eating unhealthy food, and what foods, based on solid research, we need to eat to be healthy. It's all there said simply. Just the truth as the truth often appears to us, without fanfare, simply, and in light. I hope lots of people get to read this book because it's a life changer! And I don't need to read another book on food again.   -- Vikki Blanche, TV and Stage Actress --readerI just bought your book (and can't put it down) and I just have to applaud you and thank you for writing this. This is must-have information for everyone, and I'm going to be talking and writing about it.  As a personal chef, teacher and writer, I am dedicated to creating truly healthy recipes that taste great too. I know that if something is healthy but doesn't look or taste good most people won't eat it, let alone cook it. I have written about the vibration of food before but this gives me so much more food for thought. Thank you for your priceless work and if there is anything I can do to help you further your mission to help us transform our diets, I would be honored.     -- Silvia Bianco a.k.a. Chef Silvia -- Chef -Teacher - Writer --readerReview from Cape Codder newspaper: Author and publisher Gillian Drake has been interested in food and health for most of her life, but it was not until she became ill in 1989 that she began thinking about the connection between what she was eating and how she felt. She had developed chronic fatigue syndrome and there were many days she could barely get out of bed. When medical professionals could not offer any solutions, she turned to a nutritionist and it changed her life. She explained that she needed to take matters into her own hands and believed that it was her responsibility to be as healthy as she could be, so she changed her diet. It was a very strict anti-candida diet, mainly meat, fish, and vegetables, which is now known as the Paleo Diet. Drake saw a turnaround in her health almost immediately and by the end of a year she was full of energy and felt better than she ever had. Feeling good was enough incentive for her to continue that diet to this day. Over the years she assumed that the information she had gained about food would become general knowledge at some point, but that is not what happened. As the food supply became more and more processed and genetically modified foods flooded the shelves, she noticed that clients in her nutritional consulting business become more confused about what foods were actually healthy. With that in mind, she spent 18 months researching everything she could about food and has just published the result, a new book about food.  The best thing that people can do is cut out refined white flour, white sugar, and anything in a box with a list of ingredients, she says. If you cut those out and eat whole foods you will be healthy. You don t need to be a biochemist to figure out what is good to eat. Once you pay attention, you can tell what food is good and what isn t. You can tell what food vibrates with health. You look at a box of cereal and see it is dead food. A ripe peach, fresh tomatoes from the garden, fresh eggs right from the hen, they have a glow about them -- you can see they are living foods and that they re going to nourish us. or a bacteria, they are caused by lifestyle. People think of their food budget as an expenditure, but really it is an investment in ourselves and our future.  -- The Cape Codder newspaper, May 2013, review by Laurie Higgins --Cape Codder newspaper
