Duke's book is not only well-researched an d well-written, it is f un to

rea d . I f you are bewil d ere d by all the books that have been publishe d

"Jim Duke was the first to pioneer the concept of f ood as drugs and

back it up with first-class research. Now Jim has written the ultimate

guide, The Green Pharmacy. In our home, we've f ollowed Jim's recipes

f or years. The Green Pharmacy allows you to do the same. It's easy to

use and a highly reliable handbook."

"America's 'herbal laureate' has done it again! Jim Duke has

brought his energy, enthusiasm, expertise and genius to the pages o f The

Green Pharmacy. Fascinating reading f or anyone interested in health

care and herbs."

New York Botanical Garden

"[Dr. Duke] puts so much o f his own personality into his writing that

the reader f eels as i f she is participating in a f riendly, in f ormative and

entertaining conversation. I think this is the essence o f his success. The

depth o f his knowledge and expertise is amazing—but, to me, even

more impressive is his ability to communicate this knowledge to others

in a straight f orward, easily understood and sympathetic style. What

other re f erence book on health care could be so hard to put down? I read

right through the book, f rom cover to cover, and learned something new

on every page!"

the University o f Victoria, British Columbia

a treasure house o f practical a d vice f or the newcomer an d pearls o f
