Book Reviews of The Diet Cure
Book Review: this approach works
Summary: 5 Stars
Amino acid and essential fatty acids therapies are becoming more mainstream, thank goodness. I've used these therapies and others suggested in the book in my nutritional practice, with great success.I can't think of one client who wouldn't benefit from reading this book. In fact, I've given this book to many clients to educate them about the process we undertake to improve their health.
I can't agree more about the importance of functional testing for the adrenals. Coffee addicts often find themselves willing to ease off caffeine when they see on their lab results that their adrenals are fatigued and are not doing their job, so to speak.
Thanks to Julia Ross for enlightening the mainstream. The question is, will your drug company-sponsored physician consider nutrition in your recovery plan? Doubtful. Drugs and masking symptoms are the way of the conventional M.D. But there are plenty of nutritionists and naturopathic doctors out there who already know and use the information in this book. Take your health into your own hands. It's really not rocket science and don't let your doctor convince you that it is.
Book Review: Solved all my problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 23 year old female who for the last 9 months has been obsessing compulsively about the state of my body. I exercise heavily 6 times a week and was on a strict diet, to the point that I would only try to eat one small meal a day. I was extremely exhausted all the time, very irritable, and incredibly unhappy with my body b/c I could not lose weight. Then I read the Diet Cure, and immediately ran out to CVS and bought some of the essential supplements and amino acids. Two days later I swear I was 90% better: not only did I stop obsessing about my body but I was finally able to eat a meal without feeling so guilty for putting food, essential fuel, into my body! I mean, for the first time in almost a year, I was free because I was not thinking about food all day long, craving all day long, and hating myself for eating. This book has it all, and solved it all. Although I think I still need to address my issues with food, the advice in the book calmed my frustration with body image and has honestly given me so much clarity...in two days! Kudos to Julia Ross, she saved me!Book Review: Great nutritional info, but I'm GAINING WEIGHT!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've followed the path of the Diet Cure loosely for some 4 weeks now and I'm gaining weight. However, as someone with severe depression, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and obesity, I propose a greater challenge for the Diet Cure. Though the Multivitamins, amino acids, and Omega fatty acid supplements have made me feel less severely depressed, and my binging lessened, it's difficult to curb those old binging habits, and I end up binging even when I don't even feel like it, just an old habit that's hard to break, especially when I'm in physical pain from my Myofascial Pain Syndrome. So, as much as I want the DIET CURE to wave a magic wand and CURE me of all my physical problems, I know it cannot, even if I adhered to it much more strictly. It may work for 95% of you, but for me, I just put the book on the shelf, sigh a little, and hope I don't gain another 10 pounds in the next 4 weeks. Back to the old standby 1200 calories a day, low fat diet. No eggs or anything high fat especially! No more pumpkin seed kernals or peanuts, just back to high protein shakes again. GGGRRRRRRRBook Review: A must for those interested in diet and health
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite possibly the best book on nutrition I have read so far (which is a lot). To frame the issues of over-eating / incorrect eating from the perspective of the chemical and physiological reactions of the body, really demonstrates how looking just a caloric intake is only a small part of the equasion -- and can't lead to long-term success. And it is written clearly and simply. I read it like a mystery novel, getting clues to how my body responds to things, and trying to piece together a picture of my own overall imbalances.It is likely that people with food issues have multiple layers of imbalances that need to be addressed, and this book explains how to test yourself (or access a lab) to identify imbalances, and how to fix them. The eight steps she addresses are brain chemistry, low-calorie dieting, unstable blook sugar, low thyroid function, addictions to foods you're allergic to, hormonal havoc, yeast overgrowth, and fatty acid deficiency.
All in all, an excellent primer on the REAL nutritional factors that effect your weight, mood, and cravings.
Book Review: Dear Julia Ross
Summary: 5 Stars
I have your D.C. book--I read it a year ago and have just re-read it. Please allow me to express my deep appreciation for such a staggering achievement and service to mankind. Its excellent qualities are simply too numerous to list. It raises the whole standard for "self-books" to a totally new level. Really astounding! Thousands of readers who are only moderately ill or borderline diabetics, etc., will be able to save themselves enormous suffering and financial catastrophe by reversing their downward path. In 15 minutes!! A reader can grasp the essentials in your book: What is the problem? What is the solution? I write reviews of health books; I've read them all. yours has everything, it's totally "cutting edge" in about 20 directions. Its special quality is the overall & specific clarity of presentation. Of course the crowning jewel is the amino acids as medicine... Best wishes from the frozen Ozark Mountains! I have told many people about your incredible book in the last year. You deserve so much recognition and success. Cheers.
