I received this book free though Goodreads. This book has been very helpful to me as I suffer from a skin condition. I loved it so much I loaned it to a family member because she suffers from a number a ailments. I would recommend this book to anyone with inflammation problems. It helped me to understand some of the causes of my skin problems due to inflammation and how to avoid triggers. There are many causes to inflammation problems and this book will explain some of the common issues with it and how to help or reduced the problem.

This book was very helpful. I plan to reread it at some point, but definitely keep it on hand for reference. I have many allergy issues and much joint pain that I am hoping will benefit from an anti-inflammatory or low inflammatory diet and regimen. I don't know that I will take a great deal of supplements as in the later chapter, but I dare say it would behoove me to at least drink more green tea. I hope to see results.

I received a free copy of this book through the FirstReads giveaways program. The topic is of interest to me as I live with disease that includes chronic inflammation. This offers readers, in one comprehensive volume, sufficient information to make wise lifestyle choices to diminish and, if followed for the rest of one's life, banish the ailment. The reading is appropriate to the everyday reader; one does not need to be a health care scholar to understand and put into practice the recommendations given.

Very hard to read because of religious references. The focus seemed to be on losing weight, not specifically fighting inflammation for autoimmune disease as I had hoped.

I skimmed parts that seemed irrelevant. And that was a lot.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has a great deal of information. I'm not confident it could all be effectively implemented for most of us. I am a firm believer in the benefit of any step in the right direction, however, and that makes this a worthwhile read.
