review 1: Sarah has a Ph.D. in medical biophysics and unlike many paleo books, this book has a list of references, a glossary, and some great tables for easy reference. I have spoken to Sarah many times via email and she is incredibly thorough, responsive, and unswervingly pleasant. This book reflects that.This is not a beginner book, and in other ways it is. It’s quite science-y and dense in places; that reflects the complexity of the topic. It is a beginner book in that you can find out what you need to get going and it will take you all the way along the path to remission.Endlessly fascinatingI have studied the subject of autoimmune disease for years now but was jumping all over the place as I reviewed the table of contents and the index. The text kept me having interesting tho... moreughts that I just had to follow up in another part of the book.My favorite parts: Hunger Hormones: The Key PlayersWhen Is What In SeasonVitamins, Minerals and Essential Fatty AcidsNavigating SpicesTrouble ShootingThere is so much information in this book that I challenge anyone not to find something useful in there, autoimmune sufferer or not.If you have autoimmune disease, I recommend you invest in this book and dip in and out, reading the parts that interest you the most. Understand that you are buying it for the long term, to read and refer to as you learn more about your disease. It’s not a “one-time-read-front-to-back-and-pass-it-on” kind of a book.I would go as far as to say that "The Paleo Approach" is so comprehensive, you don’t need another book to explain your autoimmune condition,
review 2: This book is legit- someone is quoted on the back cover as calling this tome encyclopedic. PREACH. It reads somewhere between a college textbook and bible for those with autoimmune disorders. I appreciate the info but was a bit overwhelmed with the sheer amount of graphics, facts, testimonials, charts, and tables. That said, it guides the reader to find out: triggers specific to your problem, the foods that will heal your body, and ways to promote overall well-being. You just have to be patient and willing to "dig" to find said information. less
