Book Reviews of Colitis & Me: A Story of Recovery
Book Review: valuable contribution to IBD sufferers
Summary: 5 Stars
Whew! This book brought back many memories. I was also diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's) in my late teenage years. Being sick has led me down many paths (alternative medicine, bad docs, etc) and caused years of mental anguish. Medication and diet changes have kept me fairly even the last few years. But hearing someone else's experience in detail has helped me let go of some bad memories. I also spent an entire day reading it cover to cover and walked away feeling hopeful . . .
thank you
Book Review: A swift and moving narrative!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has all the elements of a great non-fiction narrative - multiple scenes spanning different times, personal stories, triumph and victory over various forces, and beautiful graphics to match! This book is not only precious becuase of it's moving account of Prasad's recovery from sickness, but also becuase of the detailed design from one page to the next that complements the story and makes you want to move forward. I recommend this not only as a book to read but a book to "see" visually.Book Review: A helpful, moving read--beautifully written, too
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not only a moving portrait of a young man's struggle with--and ultimate control over--colitis; it is also, as importantly, a helpful lens through which others can view and address this serious health problem. I would recommend this book for anyone battling this oft-misunderstood disease, especially those who think they've exhausted their treatment options. Colitis & Me may offer fresh insight and management techniques. It will most certainly offer hope.
Book Review: Recommended!
Summary: 4 Stars
Colitis and Me is an excellent read. Raman Prasad's story of his struggle with, and eventual triumph over, colitis is a gripping tale. Prasad's narrative is such that I was able to identify with his experiences. After reading the book, I also accessed the web site (www.scdrecipe.com). Truly excellent - have tried a couple of recipes and they turned out very well. I urge Raman Prasad to continue his literary endeavours and publish a compilation of his recipes.
Book Review: great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not much for personal stories but this was a page turner. In addition, the veil is drawn back a bit further regarding the state of medicine in this country. The facts at the end were quite good--pulling from many sources to discuss the method the author used to get better--a method discussed in a Nov 11, 2002 Wall Street Journal health article.I'm re-working my fridge this weekend and getting my health back.
Cheers!
