Book Reviews of Grain Damage: Rethinking the High-Starch Diet
Book Review: I can't thank Dr Graham enough for putting his knowledge into a book so that we can all benefit.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have long suspected that grains could be a problem beyond just the gluten. For such a short paged book - it addresses everything one needs to know about the relationship between grains and health.
Dr. Grahams newest and most brilliant book The 80/10/10 Diet lead me to order this book. I knew very little about Dr. Graham before I read his recent book, then ordered this Grain Damage book - and I feel I have finally found the precious truths about nutrition that I have been looking for, the past 10 years. As difficult as it was for me to accept the fact that I have been mis-directing people that I have tried to help, in the past 10 years, (although none of them were harmed by my limited understanding) I can clearly see, now, how much faster they all could have reached optimal health, if I had had his information then.
Initially, I wanted to reject some of the things I was reading, not because I felt they were inaccurate but because, I kept having flashes of 'how I am now going to go back to all these people and let them know my understanding was not as complete as I had thought'. But, after I admitted this to myself, and in my heart and mind, I knew without a doubt, that this is the most complete and accurate nutritional book I have read - I knew what I had to do. And, much to my surprise, as I began explaining to those I have worked with - my rationale for adding and substracting, from what I previously suggested - they were perfectly okay and actually excited and appreciate about this new information and challenge - even though they all realized rather quickly, how much more discipline would be required of them.
I feel it is a book that requires a lot of self-disciple beyond what most of us have BUT it also shows that we all need to have a purpose in life or a selfless direction to serve - which in turn reduces our obsessions in life - centered around food. If we take the attitude that the correct foods and the correct ratios of proper foods, will raise the integrity of our cells functioning to a new level, which will in turn raise the level of the way we feel and think - the self-discipline becomes easier.
I have also benefited from his books because it dawned on me, that I have been using 'food' much like one uses 'medicines'. So, for me, I again learned that we can't fragment health and we can't fragment the body parts, that all the trillion of cells are working in harmony towards one goal- that is, survival of the organism. And if we are to correct or reverse any disease or any dysfunctional organ - we need to correct the underlying Cause. And 99% of the time, the Cause is the fuel we are feeding these cells. And the ratio of this fuel. Only by looking at the Cause and Effect relationship, will we free the obstructions in our cells from carrying out their purpose. And now I know that it is much easier than I ever realized.
So, this is my review and I feel humbled and confident with this new direction.
