Stealth Germs in Your Body or Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook

Stealth Germs in Your Body: How Hidden Infectious Organisms Can Jeopardize Your Health

Author: Erno Daniel

Would you have suspected that your stomach ulcer was due to bacteria, or that a viral infection causes cervical cancer? Faced with mounting evidence that “stealth germs”—smoldering chronic infections in the body (some treatable or even preventable)—are at the root of numerous health problems, Dr. Erno Daniel provides the first-ever medical reference book on the subject for the general public. Dr. Daniel is a recognized expert in the field who specializes in diagnosing such illnesses, so he has both the scientific background and illuminating case studies to offer. Organized by type of germ and where in the body each manifests itself, this invaluable guide will help patients overcome their lack of medical awareness; understand the variable ways individuals react to such infections; and navigate the complexities of physician-patient communication about multiple symptoms. It’s all done with an important life-saving goal in mind: helping people know more so they can get an accurate diagnosis of their ailments and get the treatment they need. Weaving cutting-edge scientific research together with a fascinating history of infectious disease and practical guidelines for collaborating with your doctor to avoid misdiagnosis, Stealth Germs is that rare health book that’s also a fascinating reference. Readers will turn to it again and again for valuable insight.

Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook: 200 Gourmet & Homestyle Recipes for the Food Allergic Family

Author: Cybele Pascal

The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook is an important health resource for you and your family. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive recipe book that eliminates the top eight food allergens as identified by the Food and Drug Administration.

There is no need to miss out on nutrition, variety, or flavor - even if you can't tolerate certain foods. These recipes include all of the foods you can eat, and they will reward you with the added benefits of improved health and great taste.

Library Journal

A lifelong enthusiastic cook, Pascal had to change how she thought about food completely when her four-month-old son was diagnosed with severe food allergies. This book is the result, containing more than 200 recipes that are free of the eight most common allergenic ingredients: dairy, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, and shellfish. Anyone following a vegan diet will also find this a valuable resource for baked goods since all of the breads, cookies, and cakes are dairy- and egg-free. It is not a specifically vegetarian cookbook, though, as it contains recipes for comfort foods like Chicken Potpie and Lamb Stew. There are recipes for every occasion, whether it's for Chocolate Layer Cake or Homemade Granola Bars. Most important, the author understands how real families shop, cook, and eat and offers suggestions on how to adapt to the food-allergic lifestyle. Of particular value are the lists of foods to keep on hand, what to buy at the grocery store, and a list of great mail and Internet resources. Highly recommended for public libraries.-Wendy Bethel, Southwest Public Libs., Grove City, OH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
