Our granddaughter has experienced frustration and low self esteem issues that go along with this learning disability and this book gave us more insight as how to deal with all the issues surrounding ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-27 Summary: What a breakthrough..... ... My husband and I just finished reading this book over the weekend while taking a long driving trip. We both became believers and are actively looking into the program for our daughter who has Dyslexia. The story is heartwarming and the theory behind his research is nothing short of astounding.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-30 Summary: Fabulous! ... When I first saw this book, I had no interest in reading it. After all, I wasn't dealing with any of the conditions listed in the subtitle and neither was anyone in my immediate family. However, I briefly heard Dr. Campbell-McBride speak at a Weston Price Conference and realized that it might be more applicable (and interesting) than I thought. I'm so glad I ordered it. This has to be one of the best books I've read on health and nutrition. I think the author has done a disservice in choosing the subtitle as she did. ...more

If I had to chose 1 book for understanding my body better and how to heal my autoimmune diseases (of which I have MANY) and gluten issues, this would be it! Although it is not yet easily available in the US, I would recommend hunting it down. It would be really nice if Amazon started carrying it, as I know numerous people who are trying to get copies of this book (published in the UK). HINT HINT HINT I would have to agree with the previous review that the author does do a disservice to the book by listing only a few ...more
