SECOND - BIGGEST RED FLAG - Dr. Berry says, and I quote “to keep the size of this book under control, I have omitted footnotes and lists of works cited….You can use Bing.com..or google.com to search any health topic” I have NEVER read a book which includes medical recommendations that did not include notations for research! That was just crazy and you can bet i followed up and did my research to verify any medical claims... Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated.

What I liked most about his book is that each chapter goes through a myth and then he refers you to read other books that go into depth about the myths that we have been taught. I have had Crohn's for 40 years and always trusted GP and specialists' advice and treatment: BIG mistake. This course of action has cost me dear and all the steroids and immune-suppressants have ruined my health. Despite a love of sunbathing and decades of lifting heavy weights plus a generally good diet, I have osteoporosis due to medication. I also developed hypothyroid disease that went undiagnosed for many years and the doctors confused the thyroid-related IBS with the Crohn's, meaning I was on unnecessary courses of high-dose corticosteroids repeatedly for years.The second red light - advises to read books that should give us more information on the topics. The first of these book is by recognized charlatan and antivaxer. Does the doctor seriously recommend such a book to me?
