 - Website UpdateWhen I first started reading this book some of their diet recommendations disappointed me so I stopped reading it. But after taking a second look and visiting their website I see that they have changed their mind and corrected almost all the things that were bothering me reguarding diet. Like what fats are healthy and that soy isn't so great after all. So please buy this book but make sure you take into account the changes they now recommend. This book needs to be have a new addition written with these changes because the very valuable information contained in this book needs to go forward in time. It needs to continue on but with accurate new information. That being said, this book puts together all the pieces of my physical puzzle. I have found out some of the info contained in this book on my own through doctors who stumbled along and "dabbled" in my different problem areas. But they never connected the dots for me like this book did. It is facinating and brilliant and I think it will help me. Rating:  - Good resource but also consult a doctor in this process...Since I've suffered from so many health problems for years and have never had any relief, my friend recommended this book to me. Upon first reading, I found it quite interesting and chock full of information relevant toward my symptoms. However, I didn't really know where to begin when looking for supplements and picking out the best and pertinent ones. A few weeks after reading this book, I went to an integrative medicine doctor, and during my visit, I realized that she had a similar approach to Ross, and she discovered that I have a thyroid disorder and have adrenal distress which have caused weight gain, reproductive problems, unresponsive allergies, depression, anxiety problems, insomnia, etc. Now, I'm using this book in conjunction with my doctor, and it is very helpful because I'm on the mend! Especially if you suspect hormonal/thyroid problems, work with a doctor or someone in health care with this book. Rating: - HIghly recommended, still need to read it though!This book was recommended to me by the institute where I have studied at....the C.H.E.K. Institute. I recently received this book, but havent had a chance to begin reading it. I know it will be good since I was informed about the clear, balanced, and practical material it contains. Rating: - Interesting IdeasJust re-read this book again. I really think the author has a good idea exploring amino acid imbalances. She's on the right track. The book itself is a tad difficult to read but very informative. There are numerous case studies based on the types of imbalances including thyroid, blood sugar, allergies, yeast, fatty acids, and habitual dieting. Once the reader completes a questionnaire the advice follows. However, I read all the imbalances and I don't think it's as cut and dried as the book might imply. I'm also a little cautious about using high-dose amino acids in the forms discussed in the book. There are high-protein supplements, like egg white protein, that have the full complement of amino acids that might be safer. Dieters, in particular, probably aren't getting all of their nutrition resulting in various symptoms. Worth reading but adopted with careful consideration. Rating: - Stop the food cravingsThis book, and the Mood Cure, by the same author, really helped me. The other book helped with mood swings, and other menopause stuff, this one helped me to be able to stop almost all of my food cravings. I can actually eat a bite or two of chocolate and STOP. Something I was rarely able to do before I started following the recommended regimine in this book. Until I started doing what is recommended in this book, I didn't buy or make sweet things very often. Because if they were in the house, I'd keep going back to them until they were gone. Once I started taking the amino acids I was evidently deficient in, I was able to eat a bit and leave it alone, like a regular person. LOL I can buy a pack of cookies, eat 2 or 3, and leave the rest for the next day. Amazing. This worked for me. In association with Amazon.com | |
