1. I'd like to read the book she wrote.

It looks like it might have a lot of good information in it.

Even though I work in pharmacy, it seems evident that diet, vitamins, and supplements can also contribute to overall health. The mushrooms probably contain a lot of Vitamin D...that might be why they boost the immune system.

2. Food is medicine,

and medicine is food. All depends on what we're talking about.

I know a rheumatologist who routinely advises his patients to take ginger capsules, powdered ginger that he has made up by a pharmacist friend. The problem, though, is that the ginger, by the time it's that processed, is pretty worthless. Staying with fresh ginger root is a better idea. I use it in tuna salad, always.

That woman is onto something. Good catch, kid ..........
