Encyclopedia Of Whole Food Medicine 1 & 2 Farmacist Desk Reference

Don Tolman’s two-volume “Encyclopedia of Whole Food Medicine 1 & 2 – Farmacist Desk Reference” is the hard-to-find 2013 hardcover set that holistic health seekers keep on their desks instead of the bookshelf. Bound in sturdy boards and packed with hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations, charts and food-as-medicine protocols, it works as both a serious reference text and an everyday kitchen companion. Adults, young adults and practitioners of naturopathy, integrative medicine or plant-based nutrition use it to decode ancient whole-food remedies, create cleansing protocols and understand why modern “super-foods” match the signatures of human organs.
What makes this particular copy attractive is condition: the pages are clean, tight and unmarked—no ex-library stamps, no personal inscriptions—so the nutritional tables, pulse-test instructions and colour-coded food wheels remain crisp and legible. The slipcase shows the usual shelf rub you’d expect on a decade-old desk reference, and one volume has a few dog-eared pages, but the information inside is mint and ready for daily use. Because the set has been out of print for years, intact hardcover pairs in any usable shape are now scarce; finding one without underlining or library processing is even rarer.
Collectors value the “Farmacist Desk Reference” for its unique cross-cultural lens—Tolman weaves Egyptian temple diets, Greek humoral theory, Native American plant pairing and modern biochemical data into one encyclopedic whole. Health-minded buyers keep it open beside the stove or supplement shelf, turning to the quick-lookup glossary, seven-day meal planners and detox symptom charts the way others reach for WebMD. Whether you are building a natural-medicine library, gifting a wellness graduate or finally replacing your dog-eared photocopies, this illustrated two-volume set delivers the complete, unabridged Tolman canon in the durable format practitioners trust.
