Super Immunity by Joel Fuhrman

In Super Immunity, Fuhrman outlines how certain foods including leafy green vegetables, mushrooms, onions, garlic, berries and seeds can improve our natural defenses. Eating only vegetables, particularly green leafy and other foods high in nutrients is purported to not only boost immunity but also rid the body of other problems like diabetes and lupus.  While the information on the particular vegetables was interesting and useful, there is also a lot of space given to his theories on, for example, why cold medicines don't work. He also includes a lot of testimonials, which I always consider kind of a red flag for credibility.  Furhman espouses the vegan diet, or at least a diet with little or no meat and dairy, and not much fats except avocados.  While there are a number of recipes given, similar ones can be found in any good vegan cookbook. There is also no index. Most reviewers on Amazon gave the book 4 or 5 stars, but I expect most of them were predisposed to his message.  278 pages.
