 - The most fantastic book I have ever read-you MUST get the cookbook too, though!The first time I went on this way of eating (it is NOT a diet) I lost 44 pounds. I felt SO much better! It is a way of eating for the rest of your life. You must be very dedicated and diligent in keeping on this way of eating as you make everything. Fresh vegetables, fruits, homemade breads with flours from the health food stores, that are buckwheat, rice, etc. that have no wheat gluten or yeast in them. It is so worth it, though. Illnesses that you have just disappear! I would recommend this book to anyone that has been sick for a long time, and doctors tell them that it is in their "head", which is what I was told. Or, people with high colesterol, high blood pressure, and many other ailments. I HIGHLY recommend this book! I also strongly suggest that you get the cookbook along with this one, as it has a lot of great different receipes to cook from! Rating:  - QuaaaaakIf eating nutritional yeast supplements (dead) or yeasted bread (dead) could cause totally unrelated species of yeast (c albicans, living) to overbloom on your body, this would be a scientific watershed, and this finding would have appeared in a peer-reviewed scientific journal instead of a self-help book written at the third-grade level without citations, evidence, and plans for further research. This book encourages readers to think that they can control a virtually unlimited range of maladies by applying a one-size-fits-all quack cure. It thus discourages readers from getting safe and effective help from real healthcare professionals. I believe this shows an utter lack of ethics on the part of the author. Readers would be better served by reading a history of medical science (e.g. The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine) or an introduction to critical thinking (e.g. The Power of Critical Thinking: Effective Reasoning About Ordinary and Extraordinary Claims). Rating: - Whoa! Get me off this hellish emotional rollercoaster...This book opened my eyes to the evil that moldy/yeasty/sugary foods can do to the body. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle with sugar addiction, BUT this book was the first to make me see how all the emotional turmoil I experience each month could be eliminated or minimized with the help of the M E V Y diet (Meat, Eggs, Vegetables, Yogurt). It is amazing how cloudy thinking, mood swings, energy levels, skin, could all be related to something as simple as sugar, but there your are. Thanks to you William G. Crook! Rating: - great booki bought the book and learned a lot from it... i followed some of the steps in the book and realized how effective removing certain things from your daily diet has a remarkable affect on the body. i would recommend reading it and using it as a guide to what you wish to achieve... even following some of the steps helped me. Rating: - Didn't work for meFirst of all, I didn't think the book was very well written - it needed much tighter editing. Many points are repeated over and over again, and I found several typos. It is also heavily aimed at Americans with poor diets. However, I did it, although I had to go to 3 doctors to find someone who would prescribe the necessary drugs, and then only reluctantly. I have just finished 6 months on it and am going to stop now. It has helped none of my health problems, and I have in fact had new fungal rashes develop while I was doing it. The food restrictions make it very hard to lead a normal social life. According to his questionnaires, I am a prime candidate for candidiasis, but this treatment did not make any difference. No harm in trying it, but don't put too much hope into it. In association with Amazon.com | |
