Format:Paperback
I bought this book simply because it was on the reading list for a course I'm studying, but I have enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. Not only is it helping me with the course; it has also helped me to create an eating plan with the aim of combating my Multiple Sclerosis. I'd definitely recommend this book for students of nutrition, and anyone wanting to fight a chronic illness.

Essential for Anyone Looking to Prevent Chronic Disease
16 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
The author writes with zeal about the "new medicine" - vegan diet. Full of references and detail, this is a solid discussion of how chronic disease can be prevented (and managed/reveresed) with diet. As a vegan for over 3 years and a Registered Nurse, I thought I knew it all, but this book proved me wrong. Your average physician is going to do one thing, wait until you have disease and then prescribe medication or surgery to "manage it." You can do better. Take matters into your own hands and read this book! Highly recommended.

Back to Basics
14 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
This book, "The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention", reinforces common sense attitudes toward the relationship between the quality of the diet and the resulting effect on health. This is the only book on the subject of health and diet that I have found that is simple enough for anyone to understand and yet sophisticated enough to cause most doctors and other health care providers to re-evaluate their practice of medicating the symptom and ignoring the root cause. Anyone doing research will love all of the credited sources and references, there is no "opinion" in this book, it is all proven with cited sources and studies.

The Best Gift This Year!
4 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
I received "The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention" a few days ago for my birthday and have not been able to put it down since. I know, that sounds like something one would say about a good novel, not a diet book, but this isn't your typical "diet" book. It outlines all the different "diseases" that are CAUSED by diet, and provides a roadmap for reversing or stopping the damage. As I read the "Vegan Diet...", I can't help but think about the friends and family that I have that could be helped by following the advise given within. From the coworker with a daughter "diagnosed" with A.D.D. (this same coworker blurted out the other day that Cheetos must be healthy because they have "cheese" on them), to my dangerously overweight cousin, everyone knows someone that could be helped by this book. I know what many of my friends will be getting for Christmas this year, a copy of this book!
