Читать книгу Eat Green! - Joachim Dr. med. Mutter - Страница 7

I worked together with the author for many years, and he was one of my best assistants. He was extremely hard-working and popular with his patients and feared by his scientific opponents as he knew the whole scientific literature (e.g. on the topic of dental amalgam) better than anyone else of the world.

I will never forget the following experience I had with him: we took the train to the Robert-Koch-Institute in Berlin (in the matter of performing a scientific risk analysis for the German government on the topic of the toxicity and adverse effects of dental amalgam). At lunchtime, I was eating a meat sandwich with the utmost appetite while he opened a suitcase and took a bowl filled with green stuff that he had collected in the meadow in front of his house in the morning, which he ate with apparent delight.

Now he is publishing this wonderful book. Once again, I am amazed at his unbelievable knowledge, which he passes on comprehensibly to everyone who wants it. To be honest I have never even heard of some of many of the plants that he describes to be edible. And I have to admit that I often prefer a nice piece of meat and cannot resist one or two glasses of red wine. And I still prefer a beef and pork sandwich over a stinging nettle salad.

I read this book with great pleasure and admiration for the author but also with a guilty conscience. It is without doubt however that even those that only perform 10 percent of what Joachim Mutter recommends will live healthier and at the same time preserve our nature. Hence I am very thankful to the author for his dedication and hope this book will gain a worldwide circulation.
