"In
the field of nutrition and health Ann Wigmore has made
a special name for herself. Not one to follow others, she has
pioneered her own path. First finding the answer to her personal
health problems at age fifty using live foods and wheatgrass,
she has a passion for her living foods diet. For twenty-five years
she has shared her discovery with tens of thousands of people
worldwide — including many who have been pronounced medically
incurable. As a teacher and counselor, rather than a licensed
physician, she makes no pretensions of recommending treatment
or of making medical judgments. She is always quick in pointing
out that given a chance the body will heal itself.
Vibrating
with health and vitality, Ann Wigmore is constantly on the run.
Reaching out to all that are open to hear what she has to say,
she emphasizes through her program that anyone can live a healthier,
happier and more fulfilling life. We are two people who listened,
and who know she is right. We had been health-minded for over
twenty years when we first met Ann, but colds, the flu, and other
common health problems still plagued us. The idea that we could
prevent even these minor imbalances was appealing, and we decided
to give the Hippocrates Diet a try. We grew wheatgrass, sprouts,
and greens, and made the juices and Rejuvelac. After four months
of following the diet strictly, we felt fantastic. Our energy
level was high and our thinking was clear. Since then we haven't
suffered from even as much as a cold. And that was two years ago.
Now
don't think that this is just another health food or diet book,
because it's not. It represents a whole new way of living which
can extend the length of your life—far beyond what has previously
been thought possible. More importantly, it can improve your energy
level and effectiveness no matter what your age.
We
are pleased and honored to write an introduction to Ann's excellent
new book. It has given us an opportunity to thank her publicly;
not only for the health benefits that we and our friends enjoy,
but for assisting many thousands of people around the world who
have been relieved of the fear of pain and illness through her
ideas. We plan to continue following the Hippocrates Diet for
the simple reason that we want to feel like she does, perform
like she performs, and look as good as she looks—at her age."

The
Hippocrates Diet
and
Health Program
by Ann Wigmore
$11.95
Softcover
- 191 pages
For
over thirty years, Ann Wigmore, founder of the renowned Hippocrates
Health Institute, has taught that what we eat profoundly affects our
health. As an internationally acclaimed wholistic health educator, she
has repeatedly pointed out how our modern "nutritionless"
diet of convenience foods is a prime cause of illness and overweight—a
fact that is only now being confirmed by the American medical community.
But unlike most other critics, she offers a positive alternative to
today's "empty" diet.
Developed
over a twenty-year period at the Hippocrates Health Institute, one of
the nation's first and finest wholistic 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 such
super nutritious foods as sprouts and wheatgrass juice, all of which
are prepared without cooking, the body is able to restore its internal
balance. As the body regains its strength and vigor, its capacity to
maintain its normal weight, fight disease, and heal itself is enhanced.
While
a practical handbook for healthful living, The Hippocrates Diet and
Health Program also discusses body cleansing, disease prevention,
life extension, and the problems associated with aging. It includes
dozens of easy-to-follow recipes and money-saving health tips.
It
is never easy for anyone to break an eating habit of a lifetime, even
if that habit may be doing more harm than good. However, as Ann Wigmore
aptly points out, ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own
health. 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.
