Reviews

"Dr. Black's pioneering work on the benefits of an anti-inflammation nutrition regimen for patients is powerful and important over a decade after it first appeared. Her constantly updated insights, recommendations and wonderful clinical savvy are on every page." — Dr. David Schleich, PhD, President of National College of Natural Medicine "...If you are looking for a book that you can recommend to patients with recipes that are dairy and wheat free, emphasizing whole grains, and either vegetarian, vegan or easily adaptable, this is the book... Thank you Dr. Black for writing this extremely useful book." — Doni Wilson ND, President of New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians "I highly recommend this book to any health-care practitioner or any patient. It is essential to the integrative approach to healing!" — Dushyant Viswanathan, MD, Integrative Internist, Medical Director of The Columbia Center for Integrative Medicine
