Synopsis
Working from the common knowledge that diet and exercise can reduce weight and increase endurance, Barnard's book offers a variety of diet strategies for conditions ranging from metabolic disorders to poor circulation and even cancer pains. As certain elements like coffee and alcohol can help some problems and exacerbate others, the book addresses both the helpful and harmful properties of common food products, as well as how they affect respiratory, glandular, and immune systems. There are also several chapters of various healthy menus, specifically utilizing those foods that actively soothe pain. Easily understood through accessible language and clear diagrams, FOODS THAT FIGHT PAIN looks at diet in a whole new way, where some foods can increase pain (meat, eggs, bananas) and others are "pain-safe" (brown rice, spinach, cooked cranberries). Barnard offers alternatives to traditional ideas about how pain operates, which should make this book a true boon to chronic sufferers.

Industry Reviews
A physician and author of several diet and health books, . . . Barnard has written an extensive consumer book. . . . Raymond has incorporated Barnard's pain-control foods into her easy recipes and even tried them on family and friends. Compared with other books on diet therapy, which focus mainly on arthritis pains, this book has a wider coverage, touching on issues such as poor circulation, food sensitivities and inflammatory pain, hormone-related pain, and metabolic and immune problems. A highly informative book for consumers seeking alternative therapy for chronic pains.
