Institute of Curative Medicine. Printed by Cedar Graphics, Inc.
311-Parsons Dr., Hiawatha, Iowa 52233-1458.  For ordering information,
(800)243-5242, which is in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, I believe
(212-Willow Pkwy, 60089).  ISBN #0-911119-22-1, soft cover.  He also
puts out a Self Test Nutrition Guide.  I have heard the author during a

the effects of food to the human body.
