 EVERY SINGLE AFRIKAN DESCENDANT SHOULD OWN AND STUDY THIS BOOK FOR THEIR OWN KNOWLEDGE OF SELF AND WELL BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( espanola82 )
Best Medical Reference I have EVER seen or owned that caters to the genetic makeup and needs of Afrikan descendants. Period. I recommend it to all members of the Afrikan Diaspora who are trying to obtain knowledge of self and use natural medicines and methods that have in turn been used successfully for TENS OF THOUSANDS of years across the world.

 A Book With Some Serious Issues
People hear my words, this book has some serious issues! Please read the review here from October 12, 2005 titled "Recipe almost Killed Me". Also, I bought this book at a black owned, black focused store. I was so happy to get it because as much as I love herbs and natural healing, most of the resources I have found are from a European centered prospective, with most of the herb histories and means of use being traced back only to Europe. So I was happy to walk out of the store with it. I started to read it on the subway. Well, I was all the way across town and jumped back on the subway to retrace my steps and return the book. I had gotten to the part about female menstruation being abnormal! I read on and sure enough, that's what he meant, that healthy women who eat healthily and live a healthy lifestyle will not menstruate! This sounds to me like the same old thing in many anti-female religions, that the way the female body works is abnormal and dirty, that menstruating females are somehow abnormal and should be kept out of holy places at the time of menstruation. I do not know why Amazon is suggesting folks buy this book paired with Queen Afua's works! The two are very different on their views. I have Queen's best seller, Sacred Woman, and not only does she NOT SAY menstruation is abnormal, she tells you possible causes of what might be going on if yours has stopped because of disease, so that you can heal yourself back to health and a healthy menstruation cycle! Queen Afua is woman positive. Dr. Afrika has some interesting things in his book, but you would have to already know the good advice in order to pick it apart from the bad. The book is mixed with such dangerous and psychologically damaging information that I would say for your health stay well and clear!!! All holistic practice has to be viewed in light of our inner voice and good advice from various sources, and few things are right for everybody, but some things are dangerous!

 Health Strategies for African and African Americans
This book looks at how racism and clasism plays a part in the health conditions of many African and African Americans today. While it is true that class affects the types and quality of foods one has access to, and while it is important to make a book that speaks specifically to the needs of this group (as they face very real and unique health issues), the use of such words as "caucazoid" is pretty jarring.
Overall, if you can get past the propaganda and chosen terminology (similar to Kevin Trudea's heavy propaganda), you can get a lot from this book, and improve your pant size in the process!

I am a proud owner of this book, this book is my bible on holistic healthcare for anyone serious about taking care of their health this book is a must. I was also amazed at customs in ancient Afrika and did not know menstration is abnormal to the female body. I have learned a wealth of information from this book. this book is the ultimate in holistic care and a must for any serious practitioner of Afrikan holistic health.
