Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jessica shows that healthy eating need not be time consuming. Quick and efficient-yet nutritionally sound-meal preparation can now be a reality for everyone." - Dick Thom, D.D.S., N.D., from the Foreword

"...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. You will find your favorite naturopathic recipes, including spreads, breakfasts, teas, entrees, salads, soups and healthy sweets. Thank you Dr. Black for writing this extremely useful book." - Doni Wilson ND, President of New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians

"...The book is written well and easy to follow...food that is good for you is worth the effort to try. Many people with MS, and other chronic diseases, want to try new things to feel better. For this very reason, (this) book will give you pointers and information to improve our health. So if you are motivated and willing to try new tastes, this book will interest you." - Liz, Book Reviewer, MSWorld.com

Based on her naturopathic practice, naturopathic doctor Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and prevent inflammation and its consequences...While providing delicious food choices, the revolutionary diet in The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book eliminates allergens and reduces the intake of pesticides, hormones and antibiotic residues. Appropriate for men and women of all ages – and especially beneficial for children – the book will help people learn to eat and cook healthily. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly by novice cooks. - SirReadaLot.org

Product Description

The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices overstimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body’s wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 186 of 187 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars If I could only know which book is the best source...., December 5, 2006 By  Jean de Waal (Iowa City, Iowa, United States) - See all my reviews I read about nutrition every day and have a library of texts on the various subjects. I am a researcher by profession and an avid 'truth seeker' about nutrition and health. I have read many texts concerning inflammation (probably the greatest new area of medical research in the next 20 years, excluding cancer - which also has a good deal in common with inflammation issues) and this is a book that I would recommend above all the others. It has good solid accurate information concerning the many causes of inflammation and the ways to counter act the body's state of inflammation. There is information in this text that I have never found anywhere else (i.e.: What CANOLA OIL is really all about!). The details surrounding the condition of inflammation in the body are more complete and concise here. If you are going to buy one good book on inflammation - this would be the one to buy. (Save your money on "Inflammation Nation" - I wish that I had not wasted mine purchasing it.) 79 of 82 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Learn about the silent epidemic, February 3, 2007 By  Steve Burns "Life long learner" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)       I am very glad that Dr. Black has had this book published, it could save lives. Currently we have a growing epidemic in this country that few are aware of, it is silent inflammation. Unlike the inflammation we see on our skin due to irritation or the pain we feel from a stubbed toe or broken bone there is also silent inflammation going on in our bodies if we abuse ourselves by eating fast food, sugar, white flour, trans fats and many other unnatural items that are toxic to our bodies. Constant inflammation can lead to heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, allergies, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and even cancer. This book will show you how to combat this with a natural eating style that is delicious. Yes, it does take time to adapt to it if you currently eat the regular American diet, but the effort is worth it. She has it all correct in this book, the importance of the 40% carbs, 30% fats, and 30% protein distribution of calories. The foods to avoid, and 125 delicious recipes that you will like. This book is written by a Naturopathic doctor as opposed to the Allopathic (Traditional medical) doctors that we are use to. The difference is that while an M.D. will give you an aspirin if you have a headache a N.D. will ask: Why do you have a headache? and seek to solve it permanently through diet or lifestyle. I believe in N.D.'s because headaches are not caused by an aspirin deficiency. Read this book and follow the suggestions for health. It works, I have been eating this way for 7 years and have been sick only one time! 51 of 53 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Getting to the Root of the Problem!, September 19, 2006 By  Michael M. Miller (McMinnville, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am concerned about getting to the root of my clients problems. One of my biggest "pet-peeves" with our current health care system is that we are trained to look at our problems, illnesses, and conditions as a "events" rather than as "processes"... or we conveniently blame our troubles on our genetics. So much of what happens to us is due to our own choices over time, leading to a process that causes our cells, tissues, and organs to breakdown... leading to dysfunction, dis-ease, and finally to a crisis (disease/illness). Dr. Black clearly understands these principles and leads you step by step through the understanding of how your dietary choices can clearly affect your well-being... and then empowers you with her recipes so that you can start regaining your health and have a return of your vitatlity. This book is a great tool for someone looking to recover from an illness, for someone looking to maintain theirs & their family's health, as well as an educational tool. You'll refer to it often, as I have... in fact, I regularly recommend that my own clients purchases this book.
