Reviews for Meals That Heal Inflammation

[vivienner_3 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Addresses many causes of inflammation, creating confusion in identifying individual causes. Daniluk speaks not so much meals that heal, but about an avoidance of ingredients that might cause inflammation.

This is the book that sort-of jump-started my path toward change. My copy is the one Daniluk independently published before the book got picked up by Random House, so it apparently has a bit more information and more recipe photos, so I'm very glad I got that one as the only one available now is the pared-down version. I bought the book hoping it would help with my psoriasis & joint inflammation (knee injuries), and while I'm not sure it helped as much as I wanted it to, the elimination diet I went on basic on Daniluk's guidelines changed the way I view food and nutrition. Within a few weeks, I had more energy, my moods had stabilized (whereas they'd previously fluctuated drastically), and I'd discovered a whole host of foods that I didn't even know existed!!! I also really liked that Daniluk didn't tout her meal plan as a "cure", rather as a change in thinking that leads to overall better health.
