Encyclopedia Of Whole Food Medicine 1 & 2 Farmacist Desk Reference

Reference Nutrition Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Herbalism Naturopathy Functional Medicine

The Farmacist Desk Reference (2013) is Don Tolman’s two-volume, hard-cover “encyclopaedia of whole-food medicine,” a cult-classic health reference that has become one of the most sought-after titles in the natural-wellness market. Often compared to a modern, alternative “physician’s desk reference,” these 1,400-plus illustrated pages catalogue thousands of plants, seeds, grains, fruits and herbs, cross-referencing each food with the body systems and ailments it traditionally supports. Readers keep the set within arm’s reach because every entry functions as both a nutritional profile and a how-to guide—exactly what buyers mean when they search for a “whole-food materia medica” or “natural-remedy quick-reference book.”

What makes this particular copy special is condition: tight, unmarked bindings inside the original slip-case, with only minor shelf rubs and a few dog-eared pages—ideal for a collector or practitioner who wants a clean, usable set without paying the $300–$400 premium that pristine examples command. The abundant full-colour charts, food-medicine dosage tables and Tolman’s hand-drawn “body-system wheel” remain crisp and intact, giving visual learners the same classroom experience the author delivers at his live events.

Health-minded buyers gravitate to Tolman’s philosophy because it bridges ancient scriptural plant wisdom with modern biochemistry, offering non-GMO, drug-free protocols for digestion, immunity, detox and longevity. Whether you are a young adult just starting a clean-eating journey, a parent researching food-based alternatives, or a clinician building a holistic reference library, this illustrated hardcover set delivers the “food as medicine” answers Google can’t index—reason enough for its consistent resale demand and five-star reader loyalty.
