The Gourmet Rotation Diet For Allergy Sufferers

The Gourmet Rotation Diet For Allergy Sufferers Review



'The Gourmet Rotation Diet For Allergy Sufferers' is a comprehensive guide aimed at helping allergy sufferers maximize their dietary choices. It contains numerous recipes for all tastes ranging from simple home cooked food through to more complex dishes.
The rotation diet will enable you to identify and eliminate foods that are harmful to you and works as a self-diagnostic aid.

The book has been written by allergy sufferer Joyce Weaver, with guidance from
Dr Honor Anthony, who was one of the UK's leading allergy specialists and retired president of the British Society for Allergy Environmental and Nutritional Medicine.

Extract of a letter by our (now retired) GP, Dr Roger Kaufman

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to read the manuscript for your prospective book, “THE GOURMET ROTATION DIET FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS”.

Having been your General Practitioner for ten years, I found your individual case histories utterly fascinating. Like most medical practitioners, GP's or hospital consultants, I was poorly equipped to understand the far reaching effects that allergy has on our lives. Your family has been ideally qualified to enlighten me. Three allergy sufferers in one family!. One with a background in food technology. Another with a degree in chemistry, and third a child growing up in this now very complex world.

From behind my desk, those ten years, I watched your story unfold. Referral to conventional NHS consultants brought no insight into your problems. I facilitated your contacts with doctors with an interest and understanding in allergy. I have been amazed by the results. I hope your manuscript achieves publication then this information will be available to help others.


Best wishes.

Dr Roger Kaufman
