5.0 out of 5 stars "Brain Fog" Food, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Immune System Your Magic Doctor: A Guide to the Immune System for the Curious of All Ages (Hardcover)

I have CFIDS and suffer from periodic brain fog. This book is probably written for the young in mind but the illustrations made it easy for my foggy brain to digest. I have read similar information in books intended for older audiences, but had trouble comprehending the language. I decided to add this book to my personal library, after borrowing it from my doctor.
