More About the Author

Dr. Elrod holds multiple degrees in exercise physiology and has completed post-doctoral research in the areas of nutrition, exercise physiology, heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Nutrition and exercise has been his life journey, starting as an athlete and continuing throughout his career. Dr. Elrod played all sports in his younger years, but baseball is his love. He was fortunate to be drafted into the Baltimore Orioles organization, where he spent 2 years and enjoyed it tremendously.

He is married to Sherri, whom he says is an "extraordinary" woman. Together, they counsel people in the area of health and wellness, including nutrition and exercise. They developed a course "Balance For Life" which is taught in a weekend seminar format. The seminar is designed to teach people how to keep balance in order to live a longer, more productive and healthier life. They may be contacted at info@drelrod.org to discuss your health issues and concerns in the area of health and wellness, and for more information about their weekend seminars.

Their greatest enjoyment is spending time with family which include 2 daughters, Delise and Heidi, 2 sons, Jesse and Joshua and 5 grandchildren, ranging from 19 years old to 4 years old. They enjoy reading, teaching seminars, exercising, cooking (and learning everyday new things about nutrition), their church home, watching sports, and playing with their golden retriever, Eli.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with nutritional facts - Lacking application, September 30, 2004

This review is from: The Fibromyalgia Nutrition Guide: Contains Valuable Dietary Guidelines, Recipes, and More for Overcoming Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Sydrome... (Paperback)
The book has lots to offer if you want a quick reference as to what role vitamins and minerals play in the human body. It also discusses different herbs, flours and sweeteners.

What it is also filled with is typographical errors. Who ever heard of "canal oil" (pg. 70) or "1/3 c. raising" (pg. 90)? The abundance of typos causes one to wonder about the accuracy of other information presented.

It has recipes that call for oddities like buffalo flour, date sugar, kamut spirals, organic chili, applesauce made from Gala apples, MSG-free Spaghetti Sauce and TVP. Even if you can figure out what these are, they can be difficult to locate and expensive. No serving sizes are recommended and calorie values are not given. How is one supposed to track caloric intake?

While this book does supply you with one week's sample menu, it does not explain why the menus are arranged the way they are. For instance, why is there a bedtime snack some days, but not others? On two days the menu includes fish, but the other days have neither meat nor fish. Are five vegetarian days required or is it flexible? Clear-cut directions are not given. I found it disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fibromyalgia Nutrition Guide, May 1, 2000
This review is from: The Fibromyalgia Nutrition Guide: Contains Valuable Dietary Guidelines, Recipes, and More for Overcoming Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Sydrome... (Paperback)
I found this book to be tremendously helpful. The information on diet, nutrition, and herbs enables us to make sound choices when it comes to the foods we eat. This book made me feel more in charge of my prognosis. There are plenty of delicious-looking recipies for lots of different types of meals. This was a very easy read (even with fibro-fog) and the information was very well presented. There is a heavy emphasis on the author's personal experience which seemed like too much at times, especially since the degree of success of any particular course of treatment varies so much from person to person. However, I believe this book will be helpful to all who suffer from Fibromyalgia because better nutrition gives the body a much better chance at fighting any illness.

This review is from: The Fibromyalgia Nutrition Guide: Contains Valuable Dietary Guidelines, Recipes, and More for Overcoming Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Sydrome... (Paperback)
I got this book and honestly found it a big disappointment. Most of the info in it is in other books and the recipes really arent any big deal. I knew most of the nutrition info already. If you already have a library of FM or nutrition info, this book is pointless.
