Lai Monte’s book brings together dietary approaches to chronic illness, with antioxidant-rich plant foods as its organizing theme. It presents claims about prevention and treatment across conditions including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease and some cancers, and discusses the role of fish in brain health. The author also highlights foods he considers harmful and draws on meta-analyses of studies involving large populations to support the remedies presented. The scope ranges from general dietary habits to specific food-based interventions. Its health claims are the book’s presentation of the evidence; readers should consult a qualified health professional before changing treatment or diet for a medical condition.

Book overview

Modern medicine has done much in the field of acute conditions, such as trauma, infections, burns and bone fractures, but it has limited success in treating chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and diabetes, among others. At present, the root causes of most chronic diseases are still unknown. It is well known in the medical communities that at least 50% of all chronic diseases are preventable by dietary changes.

The Food Cure presents the groundbreaking antioxidant food remedies to prevent and treat chronic diseases that to this day have been hidden in the vast scientific literature that is not accessible to the public.

In this book, you will discover a treasure trove of dietary habits of tens of millions of people worldwide; unlock the secrets of the healing power of antioxidants in plant-based whole foods; how to safely and effectively prevent and treat major illnesses and cancers with antioxidant rich foods; why fish are important to brain health; seven disease-causative foods on your dining table that can kill you; why eating just one egg a day can be detrimental to your health; and science-based food remedies to prevent and treat hypertension, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and more.

Meta-analysis is a statistical procedure for combining data from multiple studies. When the treatment effect (or effect size) is consistent from one study to the next, meta-analysis can be used to identify this common effect.

The search using medical data bases reveals that hundreds of meta-analysis papers conducted with tens of millions of people worldwide confirmed that the efficacies of thirty antioxidant-rich food remedies in preventing or treating many chronic diseases. Meta-analysis is the most reliable statistical method for assessing the efficacy of food items in preventing or treating chronic diseases.

The Food Cure will bring these clinically proven remedies in the general public and book consumers.
