Book Description
Although in Western society the beneficial aspects of bacteria have been increasingly minimized, we actually need bacteria in our digestive tracts for good health. This resource explains, to laymen and physicians, how probiotics support immune function, prevent urogenital infections, and maintain good gastrintestinal health.

A health secret you can't afford to miss!.......2004-10-01
My son was diagnosed with severe reflux, eczema and food allergies. I have spent hundreds of hours trying to research probiotics. ALL of this information is contained right inside this powerful book. I found an absolute wealth of information and leads to help me treat my sons severe allergies. Many of the suggestions in her book have saved us time and money. And one of the most important parts is where the author helps you select a probiotic, since MUCH of what is on the market is worthless, mislabled or DEAD bacteria. People are starting to become aware of the benefits of probiotics (as other countries have known for so many years) but they are throwing their money away on products that do not even contain the strains of bacteria listed on the label or even any live bacteria at all. Although I bought the book with interest in my son's situation, there are so many other conditions discussed and I have lent this book out more times than I can count. It is also very suitable for physicians and I have had one friend use it to discuss her probiotic use during pregnancy (to prevent allergy in her baby) and I just bought another copy to give to our pediatrician (who also recommends certain reputable brands of probiotics to help treat behavioral issues) I would highly recommend this book. It will save you hundreds of hours of research and you will think of many friends and relatives who can benefit from the research it contains.
Reliable information on probiotics.......2004-09-30
Probiotics are products containing bacteria that are beneficial to health. Digestive problems and allergies are increasing in developed countries and much of the source of these difficulties appears to lie with a poor mixture of bacteria in the intestine. Taking probiotics to remedy the imbalance is a popular approach among the general public, but very little reliable information is available.
Kelly Karpa's book remedies this by providing a readable and scientifically-sound review of current knowledge.
Dr Karpa is both a qualified pharmacist and a concerned parent, and she combines her skills to produce an admirable book. It explains the gut microflora (billions of bacteria that reside in each person's intestine) and also the evidence for probiotics improving a range of disorders.
These disorders include infectious diarrhoea (gastroenteritis, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, Clostridium difficile, traveler's diarrhoea), allergies (rhinitis, asthma, food allergies), urogenital infections (vaginitis, UTIs), and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
An especially useful chapter is on how to select a good probiotic. There is also information on prebiotics, soluble dietary fibre that boosts numbers of one's existing beneficial bacteria.
The two chapters on the immune system are a bit heavy going for the general reader, but they both have a short summary and the chapters can be skipped without spoiling the rest of the book. Also, there is no index. But the book is well-structured with detailed Contents pages, so the absence of an index should not prove a major difficulty.
Despite these minor weaknesses, the book is invaluable for people with any of the listed chronic conditions as well as for health professionals who work with such patients.

Book Description
Autism is an epidemic: It has spiked 1,500 percent in the last twenty years. ADHD, asthma and allergies have also skyrocketed over the same time period. One of these conditions now strikes one in every three children in America. But there is hope. Leading medical innovator Kenneth Bock, M.D., has helped change the lives of more than a thousand children, and in this important book, with a comprehensive program that targets all four of the 4-A disorders, he offers help to children everywhere. This is the book that finally puts hope within reach.
Doctors have generally overlooked the connections among the 4-A disorders, despite their concurrent rise and the presence of many medical clues. For years the medical establishment has considered autism medically untreatable and utterly incurable, and has limited ADHD treatment mainly to symptom suppression. Dr. Bock and his colleagues, however, have discovered a solution – one that goes to the root of the problem. They have found that deadly modern toxins, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic vulnerabilities and assaults on the immune and gastrointestinal systems trigger most of the symptoms of the 4-A disorders, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis and untold misery.
Dr. Bock’s remarkable Healing Program, drawing on medical research and based on years of clinical success, offers a safe, sensible solution that is individualized to each child to help remedy these root causes. The biomedical approach to autism, ADHD, and the other 4-A epidemics, as innovated by Dr. Bock and some of America’s finest integrative physicians, is one of the most promising and exciting medical movements of our time.
In this eminently readable account, written by Dr. Bock in collaboration with critically acclaimed author Cameron Stauth, you will meet children and parents whose dramatic stories will inspire you to change the life of your own child. This program may be the help that you have been praying for.

Real tools to improve life.......2007-09-26
With the library book still sitting on my desk I am purchasing a copy of my own. While I have always been thankful (and blissfully ignorant) that MY kids haven't needed all those restricted diets or been negatively impacted by vaccinations, this book has helped open my eyes and really look at the health of my family. I am thankful to find an abundant source of information that is geared towards HEALING the ROOT CAUSES of illnesses in our children. Pediatric medicine is filled with caring doctors who help treat symptom after symptom, infection after infection as seperate pieces of a complete body. This book details complicated approaches to treat an entire child, not just medical conditions that have become alarmingly common and acceptable.
I would have paid $1,000 for this book! All of our children are in grave danger, and we MUST protect them! Everyone read this!!!.......2007-09-16
Would you pay $17 to save your child from a life of chronic illness?? Of course you would! I am a well educated person in the medical field, and this book blew me away! I thought that the vaccination controversy was just parents finding something to blame for their sick kids, because physicans assure that they are safe. Well, guess what?? The government drastically changed the vaccination schedule in 1991, and the way that they administer them now, is harming our children! 2 studies of populations that do not vaccinate, had NO cases of autism!! Autism in our country has increased by 6,000%, and it is not the type that you are born with-that is still EXTREMELY rare! There is an epidemic of illnesses that are negatively affecting our children, and this book addresses all of them, as well as how to heal them! Our children's immune systems are being viciously attacked by a combination of toxins, and they are being severely injured. This book does a fabulous job of covering each in detail, from the negative impact of vaccines (our children were administered huge amounts of toxins); the epidemic of food allergies, which causes everything from ADHD, to learning and behavioral problems; the toxins in our food: from the antibiotics and hormones that are in our meat supply, to the pesticides and chemicals that are in everything else; and the toxins in our water and air. The reason that you don't hear about these things, is that our medical system and government are run by big business. There is money to be lost by natural therapies, and eating pure foods, because there is no pill to prescribe! There is a huge coverup in play, and we MUST educate ourselves and be our own advocates! Even if your child, (or yourself for that matter) are currently healthy, chances are, you won't be for long!! Your child can be a totally "normal" two year old, and then lose speech, mobility, and social interaction skills and become a shell of what they once were! ADHD and Asthma are increased by 400%! If you are a parent, or even know people with children, you need to read this book! If we don't do something drastic now, we are going to have an entire society with chronic illnesses, and our country will be severely affected! We need to be armed with knowledge and band together to fight the system, and protect all of us! I implore you to read this book,and tell everyone that you know- you will not be sorry!!
Wonderful, coherent book.......2007-08-25
I love this book. Dr. Bock discusses treatments for autism and intermingles it with personal stories of past patients. Then the second half of the book, he lists out the supplements, what they do and what to give them for. He gives case studies. This is one of those books that is always out on my desk, because I am constantly referencing it. I have gotten plenty of good advice from the book that has not only benefitted my autistic child, but also the general health of my other two children. In addition to this book, I recommend "Children With Starving Brains".
Dr. Bock is a miracle worker!.......2007-06-12
My 3 year old son was diagnosed with autism at 20 months and has been Dr. Bock's patient for 1 1/2 years. His book is a miracle for all parents with children on the autism spectrum or related diagnoses. His treatment is simple yet extraordinary in bringing about changes and recovery in children. My son was mute, violent, refused to eat or sleep before Dr. Bock's treatment- now, 1 1/2 years later, he's ready to be mainstreamed into preschool. He has performed miracles with my son, simply by recognizing the root causes of my son's condition and treating it simply through diet, supplement therapy and removing metals. He makes no promises, but I can tell you from our experience that he has truly worked miracles for my son and our family!
Book Review.......2007-05-29
Excellent information on Autism, ADHD, Allergies and Asthma. With the current epidemic of these disorders the information presented is timely and very hopeful for those afflicted with these conditions. Utilizing expertise from both the medical and alternative camps, many useful strategies are presented. I highly recommend this book for parents and professionals working with the Four A's.
Book Description
The Wheat–Free Cook is the definitive cookbook on living and eating well without wheat. Veteran food writer Jacqueline Mallorca outlines the differences between wheat allergies and celiac disease, provides lists of resources and a guide to gluten–free grains, and offers tip on how and where to shop for gluten–free ingredients. On top of that, Jacqueline offers recipes for quick, modern gluten–free meals that are sure to appeal to the health–conscious cook, whether gluten–sensitive or not––after all, it's just as easy to thicken a comforting stew with rice four or cornstarch as it is with all–purpose flour, and sautéed chicken breasts taste much better when coated with a mixture of ground hazelnuts and Parmesan than stale breadcrumbs. All the formerly off limits favorites are here, from breakfast treats such as pancakes and muffins, to comforting pasta dishes like macaroni and cheese, and decadent desserts including cookies, cakes, tarts, and pies. With The Wheat–Free Cook, Jacqueline Mallorca proves that there is a world beyond wheat.

Excellent Cookbook .......2007-09-17
Excellent Cookbook - high quality food. Have tried a handful of the recipes and all are excellent.
Inclusive Dishes.......2007-04-25
For people who have wheat allergies and other food related conditions, e.g. lactose intolerance, check out this book. Diet does not mean deprivation; rather it means accomodating different needs in re food.
This book has a good selection of wonderful recipes that are not just merely palatable. It brings gluten free into the sun of mainstream meals and out of the dark ages when gluten free meant drab and bland foods from specialty shops. You can cook wonderful dishes and nobody will be any the wiser that you are making inclusive meals that are gluten free. (Of course, if you wanted to, you might clue them in).
I highly recommend this treasure for all cooks regardless of food needs.
Glutenus Maximus .......2007-03-27
One of my closest friends is a hardcore "foodie" but has a horrible wheat allergy. She must take antihistamines in order to indulge in her favorite foods, which is fine for the rare oppurtunity when we dined at Perse but not something you want to take everyday. So, when I found The Wheat-Free Cook, I took it upon myself to prepare a meal for her from scratch. Now first off, I don't like to bake but I knew bread was going to be a big deal for her. I made the recipe on page 133 (quick flatbread) and found it not only easy but extremely delicious! Luckily, I doubled the recipe as the rest of the diners devoured it along with the delectable short ribs on page119. This book offers classic cooking (a la Julia) and brings "gluten-free" out of the dark ages (nasty health food store selections, ugh). It's easy enough to use for the novice cook and innovative enough to inspire the toughest "foodies." I recommend it for ALL cooks-wheat free or not!

Great Information for arthritis sufferers.......2007-09-02
This author has figured out what causes many cases of arthritis. I have osteoarthritis and have been following her recommendations for about a month now. I can already tell a difference in the way I feel. If I cheat, I can really tell the difference the next day. I recommend this book.
Using The Book.......2007-03-26
Book was very organized and as a result was clear. The format of explanation and then giving a plan of action was excellent. The only thing it needed to be a 5 Star was a little more humor.
Great Book!.......2007-03-26
A different theory at what causes arthritis, written by someone who generally cured herself. Talks a lot about food sensitivities that cause arthritis and how to figure out what your food sensitivity so you can avoid or reduce your expose thus feel better.
The Type of Arthritis the Author Has Should Be Revealed!.......2007-03-13
I think this is a good book, but unfortunately, the author's type of arthritis (allergic) is not related to rheumatoid arthritis, which is what my husband has. So, basically, I wasted my money on a book we cannot use.
a miracle.......2007-01-20
This book and the ideas expressed in it are nothing short of a miracle. I started having my first hints of RA 11 months ago. It took 3 months of rapidly developing pain in most of my joints until I was finally diagnosed. After the devastating news & realization that the heavy drugs I was on were not having much if any effect I started seeking out alternatives on the internet. That is when I ran across the food/arthritis connection & this book - Conquering Arthritis. It has been nothing short of a miracle. After the week detox I could already bend my fingers which was something I thought I would not do again, I was already convinced. The process of healing is a very long & stressful task. Identifying all my problem foods took 4 - 5 months & it seemed like I would never be able to eat a normal meal. It has been well worth it as now I have no pain from RA. This takes complete dedication & I was amazed at how much strength I had as I went though so many struggles emotionally & physically to be pain free. My motivation was thinking about a miserable future where I couldn't walk & enjoy the outdoors which made the alternative, the temporary struggles of the diet, seem like nothing. I can now make relatively normal meals again with just a few substitutions. I know that at this point I am not completely healed but I am well on my way. It has been a year since my first pains. I have come so far & feel so blessed everytime I go out to take a jog or hike. Barbara Allan has been such a blessing and an inspiration. I am so thankful for this book. I encourage anyone with any kind of arthritis to buy it. It is life changing!

Book Description
"Challem’s new book hits a home run — with the latest research on what to eat and take to defeat our real number-one cause of health problems — inflammation. It’s a message of the utmost importance."
–Jean Carper
New York Times bestselling author of Stop Aging Now! and Your Miracle Brain, columnist for USA Weekend magazine
What is the Inflammation Syndrome? It’s the cumulative effect of low-grade inflammation–including the aches and pains we all experience–that grows into chronic debilitating disease. This book, the first major book on the syndrome, reveals the powerful role that inflammation plays in a wide variety of common health conditions–from simple aches and pains to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Syndrome X, arthritis, asthma, and athletic injuries. Drawing on cutting-edge research conducted around the world, Jack Challem provides a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation-related problems through an easy-to-follow nutrition and supplement program. He also shares the latest information on C-reactive protein, one of the marker s o f serio us inflammation. This book, quite simply, shows you how to feel better for life.
"Many of our most debilitating diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause. The program Jack Challem outlines in The Inflammation Syndrome is a great first step in ridding your body of this deadly problem."
–Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of Thin for Good, The Allergy and Asthma Cure, and The Hamptons Diet
"In a scientifically accurate and easy-to-understand manner, Jack Challem lays out the basic nutrition plan for good health and weight loss."
–Loren Cordain, Ph.D., author of The Paleo Diet
Customer Reviews:
The Best so far.......2007-08-27
I have studied nutrition for 40 years and this brings it all together. It is the best book on the subject of the four that I have read. Unfortunately, it does not mention that FARMED salmon usually contains 5 to 7 times the harmful fatty acids that the same amount of wild salmon has, and that flax seed is not a good substitute for omega-3 fish oil, because humans cannot convert it efficiently. Mice and fish can and that had not been taken into accoount until recently.
Review of Challem's The Inflammation Syndrome.......2007-06-27
In my view, even his trademarking of phrases does not distract from his comprehension of nutrition biology. Howwever, his review of supplements reminds me of the writing of automotive columnists. There are few commercial products to which he is opposed. This is a useful and well written book. I'd also highly recommend Stop Inflammation Now! by Dr Richard M. Fleming. I'd avoid the book entitled The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book by Jessica K. Black. I have no problem with her N.D. credentials, but question her biases and abandonment of scientific method to support her assertions.
Inflammation Syndrome by Jack Chellam.......2007-06-22
Jack Chellam's "Inflammation Syndrome" is one of the best books on diet I've read. The author focuses on the discovery that most diseases start with an inflammatory process and emphasizes how certain foods cause inflammation in your body. Mr. Chellam discusses many diseases such as cancer, allergies, diabetes, obesity, sports injuries and depression to name a few. "The Inflammation Syndrome" helps the reader rediscover the way humans ate prior to the agricultural boom and mass production of so called "food items" that have led to many diseases we have today. Each chapter is filled with helpful information that can help direct oneself to a better life diet.
The anti-inflammatory diet outlined in the "Inflammation Syndrome" has reversed a chronic digestive problem I've suffered with all my life. I was first attracted to Jack Chellam's book because he discusses that most vegetable oils (corn, soybean, safflower etc) can cause inflammation and the frying of them is a double-wammy. The author discusses proper diet, anti-inflammatory supplements, and the side effects of some anti-inflammatory medications. For example, aspirin is known to cause permanent cartilage deterioration in the joints.
The "Inflammation Syndrome" is filled with useful information and is a must read.
View of another nutrition writer.......2007-04-12
Inflammation is an important topic, and until recently, badly neglected by the medical community. Now there are too many books adding to the prattle by those who know too little. This one stands out as comprehensive and easily understandable. Jack Challem does better than I do in HONEST NUTRITION.

Life saving.......2007-09-30
The Gluten Free Bible is a handy dandy resource for Celiacs and their families and friends. It's all about education. The Gluten Free Bible is a wealth of information and answers the questions you didn't even know you had.
The Gluten-Free Bible.......2007-01-05
Great book! Very helpful for people who can't eat gluten. It is a life saver.
The Gluten-Free Bible.......2006-07-05
There are serious inaccuracies in this book that can cause a great deal of stress for a celiac. The section on medications with gluten is especially troubling as it causes someone who thought they were safe to worry for no reason. Most troubling is her treatment of the risks of cancer. Her treatment is both superficial, incaccurate and unrealistic. First she says that the risk is the same whether you maintain a gluten free diet or not. Then she says that the only thing you can do about it is to not worry about it. Her discussion of picking food out of a sandwiches is poor advice. In one section she understands the problems of cross contamination, yet doesn't seem to understand that picking apart food is more of a risk than using a toaster. Finally, her flip advice about how to avoid answering questions is ridiculous. Why not be honest instead of avoiding the questions. It's up to the person as to how many details they want to give. But avoiding the issue is not the answer.
By far the best and the most fun to read..........2006-05-23
I started with Bette Hagman's books and was under-whelmed, to say the least. If you want plain ol' comfort food, Bette is the place to go, but for my tastebuds and style of dining, Jax is the WOMAN!!
Don't appologize for your illness and don't say it's "just" anything. I followed her advise, recently and a 5 star, fixed price, 9 course dinner was designed especially around my needs! It was liberating, not to mention one of the most fabulous meals I have ever had. Everyone else had their goat cheese wrapped in a pasta sheet, mine was wrapped in nettle leaves. Everyone else had fancy herbed breads, I had fresh cornbread HOT from the oven. More than a few people asked why I was so "special" and my husband kept trying to steal my cornbread.
You CAN still live with this diagnosis and live quite well, I might add. Jax gives you the tools to do it.
Do not hear, do not obey..........2006-04-05
If you have a mild to moderate gluten intolerance, you can MAYBE follow this book's advice and be safe. If you have full on Celiac Disease, you will find yourself sick in a single digestive cycle!
Jax's information is lacking, out of date, and incorrect. I obsessively research foods, medicines, ingredients, and restraunts so as to be able to join my friends and family in their dinners, and my research shows Jax to be woefully incorrect. I'm encouraging my local booksellers to not carry this any more, and I encourage the discerning readers amoung you to take great care. If you want the feel good stories, read the feel good stores. Don't take the feel bad advice.

I liked this book very much. It is a very good review of Microbiology and Immunology for USMLE.
The main section covers major bacteriology, virology and parasitology. At the end of each chapter, there is a brief section with 'PEARLS', most important information in the chapter in brief. Then there is a 40-page section with brief summaries of medically important organisms. There is a concise Immunology section. It is followed by clinical cases and USMLE type exam questions.
If you like to have most important information repeated more than once, then this is the book for you. I found a little problem with organization of information. In virology, there is a chapter with brief description of virus families. Most of that information is repeated in following chapters. In immunology section, I had to go back and forth between chapters. The chemotherapy section could cause some confusion if you also read Katzung & Trevors Pharmacology (Exam & Board Review). I don't know if you need all that information about the parasites not common in the US.
Overall, a very good review book for USMLE.

What's to eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook.......2007-09-11
My grand daughter is allergic to all dairy products and tree nuts. I did not know what to fix her for meals or desserts. This book really tells me all kinds of food available for anyone who are allergic to above mentioned. It is not difficult to prepare all recipes on this book . I am glad I found this cook book. Thanks to the author.
Very good cookbook for those with food allergies.......2007-05-15
This book has a ton of recipes. I've only tried a few, but they were each very good. My 2 year old son is allergic to eggs, milk and peanuts so this seemed like the perfect cookbook for us. The only problem is that he's at a very picky age right now, so most of these recipes he won't have anything to do with at this time. Some desserts and cookies are all I've made so far that he'll eat. I think as the years go by we'll get a lot more use out of this book.
Wonderful Book!.......2007-05-13
This cookbook is absolutely fantastic! It's so nice to have a cookbook that suits my daughter's dietary restrictions exactly, without having to substitute this or that. So far, I've tried only a handful of recipes, mostly cakes and cookies, but all were easy to make and delicious! Highly recommended!
Helpful for an Allergic Family.......2007-05-10
This cookbook has been helpful when looking for ideas to serve my family and guests.
BEST ALLERGY COOKBOOK!.......2007-04-12
This cookbook has made such a difference in my life! I am an allergy mom that was in desperate need to feed my son who has severe egg and peanut allergies. It is so nice to have such a variety of foods, dinner, breakfast, snack, desserts, etc that my sons can enjoy that are completely safe. And totally yummy! This Cookbook is the best out there!

Allergies.......2007-03-30
Run out and buy this Book as fast as you can

Australia. Now I can say, It works I've suffered
for years with Food allergies and have been to countless of
Doctors, But untill I had this done..... Now I can eat the
foods that I had to avoid, without any discomfort or pain

Not true at all - From a parent.......2006-10-16
I did this treatment for my son with Autism. We went to a local practitioner and paid $125 per hour. Over two thousand dollars over a year timeframe with absolute zero results.
Books like these are there to victimize parents of autistic kids who are looking to try anything under the world that can help their kids.
Does NAET work? Evidence to the contrary........2006-07-09
I'll keep this short because the book is well reviewed by others. You must go to a licensed practitioner of this art to receive treatments ... dozens of treatments. If you are persuaded by this book, it will still take your faith in the writer and endorsers to embark on a series of treatments that will take many hours of your time and thousands of dollars - with no warranty expressed or implied, if you know what I mean.
As a life long sufferer of debilitating allergies I was thrilled to discover there might be another option that could alleviate my problem. I asked my primary care physician (not my allergist) if she had ever heard of the procedure. She is a well known and highly regarded, board certified MD with a holistic practice. Not only had she heard of NAET, but as a fellow allergy sufferer, she had undergone more than a year of regular treatments with a certified advanced NAET practitioner.
Sad to say, she saw no improvement in her condition and terminated the treatments. I make this report because, although it is not first hand experience, it is the experience of someone I know well and whose unbiased judgement I trust. I don't know any of the people reporting miraculous cures.
Whether NAET works or not ... I can't say. I can say it's a gamble and the wager is not cheap.
To Say Good-Bye to Illness-You Have To See Our Doctors.......2005-04-08
THIS IS NOT A SELF-HELP BOOK as I had thought. As the doctor notes on page xxxv :The framework of this book is drawn from a formal dissertational I submitted as a basis for my doctorate degree"__.
This information is not helpful for treating people who live too far from a NAET practitioner or who may not be able to afford care. As the doctor states on page 28, "This book will teach you how to test yourself and locate your problem. STEPS OF TREATMENT ARE NOT GIVEN HERE BECAUSE THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS BOOK. NAET TRAINING IS LIMITED TO ACTIVELY LICENSED MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS ONLY" The title should be, Say Good-Bye to Illness-See One Of Our Doctors. What a pity, the doctor had an opportunity to help millions of people in her book. If the kinesiology or accupressure portion of her technique works and I suspect it does in a percentage of the people, most lay people could apply it. The companion book to this one, The NAET Guide Book is of absolutely of no help as a guide book to the self help person either. As the doctor states in the Preface, "The purpose of this book is to help practitioners who treat patients with__NAET and patients who undergo NAET treatments." Just as dissapointing as in Say Good-Bye To Illness in the respect that there is no hint of the secret treatments. I believe that I am one of several thousand people who may have bought these books looking for a glimmer of hope for a loved one. Unfortunately what is cloacked as a self-help book written with the lay person in mind is disapointing in that respect. This is not to discourage those who may seek out NAET care as it appears from the testimonials it helps many conditions.
Remedy for allergies........2004-12-27
At last you have a remedy for asthma and other related allergies in Say Good-Bye to Illness by Devi S., MD Nambudripad. This book will be an eye-opener for people suffering from asthma and other such allergies.
Articles on nutrition and health maintenance are also very good. This is a really interesting book about how eating affects our health. There is a lot of useful information in here to provide much thought about what to eat. There are also interesting references for wellness products. The author does suggest you go off coffee slowly before you start the plan. This would minimize headaches during detox. I couldn't wait to get started so, of course, did it all at once and had the most horrible awful headache for 4 straight days. I finally broke down and had a 1/2 cup coffee one day instead of taking aspirin and that did the trick...for the moment. Now I'm completely caffeine-free and don't miss it at all. My doctor prescribed a wonderful replacement for coffee made from soya beans called "soyffee". I bought it online at www.S o y c o f f e e.com and cannot believe how good is the taste.
Say Good-Bye to Illness by Devi S., MD Nambudripad is highly recommended for people who are interested in learing more about asthma and other allergies.

Book Description
The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices over stimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body’s wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

An excellent, health-promoting guide .......2007-08-04
Naturopathic physician Jessica K. Black presents The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book, a guide offering 125 recipes, lists of foods to eat and foods to avoid, and a full week of sample menus for summer and winter months. Written especially for individuals attempting to follow an anti-inflammatory diet who have trouble finding recipes to use, The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book offers entrees, breakfasts, salads, soups, and desserts that exclude common allergens and inflammation-aggravators such as fried foods, foods with hydrogenated oils, peanuts and peanut products, alcohol, juice, caffeinated teas and sodas, potatoes, tomatoes, wheat products, corn, sugar, pork, citrus fruits and more. Chapters also recommend foods that should be prominently featured in an anti-inflammation diet, such as pineapple (due to its content of bromelain), most fruits and vegetables, garlic, ginger, tumeric, flaxseed oil, and others. An excellent, health-promoting guide especially recommended for anyone coping with arthritis or other inflammatory illnesses.
Buy this book!.......2007-05-30
One of the most difficult challenges I have faced when suggesting to my patients on dietary modifications is offering patients alternatives to their inflammatory menus. Not only has Dr. Black provided easy to prepare and tasty recipes, but the ingredients serve their purpose: they favor pathways that decrease inflammation. Hence patients with intensely inflammatory conditions, such as rhumatoid arthritis, have been able to experience relief, thanks to this cookbook. It offers recipes that appeal to kids and provides ample educational material for patients to resource. It is the ideal cookbook for all.
A Wonderful Resource .......2007-05-19
This book has been a powerful resource in my practice for many years dating back to its original self-published version. I have found that foremost in the process of restoring a persons health is inflammatory reduction. It is this inflammation which often initiates and propogates a disease process that eventually creates pathology. Dr. Black's book is an essential tool for implementing my recommended dietary changes on a practical level. It is full of helpful educational material and ripe with a multitude of savory and delicious recipes. This book will give you all the necessary information to begin a positive lifestyle change which you can then apply to your own cullinary creations. For those people looking to restore health naturally, Dr. Black's book will not disappoint.
My patients LOVE this Book!.......2007-05-18
One of the most difficult aspects of nutritional counseling is helping people make dietary changes. This book makes these transitions much easier by providing reasons for reducing inflammation in the body, nutritional facts about common foods which may cause inflammation --and best of all--tasty recipes and helpful hints.
My patients LOVE this book and it has become an important part of the dietary portion of my "Simple Steps to Wellness" programs.
Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
Great Resource!!.......2007-05-18
I have been using the dietary recommendations outlined in Dr. Black's book for a number of years with my patients. It is so helpful to have a comprehensive cookbook that explains why people should eat this way and how they should do it! It really has made dietary changes less overwhelming for people that may have been intimidated to make big shifts in the way that they eat. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in addressing their health concerns from a foundational level.
