I don't know if the book features this remedy, but for me it has worked like a charm: Spirulina, and lots of it!
When I started growing spirulina I kept reading everything on it I got my hands on, and one of these spirulina books mentioned that in Japan it is used as a hangover cure. Of course I had to try it out... not right away, but the next time I woke up with a head the size of a truck, I made a smoothie with a 30 g cube of frozen spirulina in it. The rest was made up of two bananas, coconut water, and a few pecan nuts. By the time I finished it I felt a wonderful relief.
