Let's Get Well
1965
Adelle Davis
Mid 60s guide to using vitamins, minerals, and whole foods to treat common ailments.

Key Takeaways:

  • Offers vitamin‑ and mineral‑based protocols for a wide range of common conditions, from fatigue and colds to heart disease and arthritis, emphasizing food and supplements over drugs.
  • Presents nutrition as the first line of both prevention and treatment, arguing that many chronic complaints stem from long‑standing deficiencies and processed‑food diets.
  • Popularizes megavitamin use and whole‑food recommendations for a mainstream audience, blending personal conviction, case stories, and scientific citations.
  • Helps cement Davis’s role as one of the most influential—and controversial—nutrition writers of the mid‑20th century, inspiring both devoted followers and fierce critics.
