Life saving miracle. Thats what this diet is. It totally will reverse your pain your swelling your depression. It was unbelievable at nine weeks the benefits I have already got. Also lost nine pounds just by eating right. I think mist of that is because I wasn't swelling anymore. I Thank GOD for letting me stumble onto the book at Goodwill then I ordered the updated version. Also thankful the Dr D’Adamo would share so much knowledge for such a low price. Don't think about the avoid food. Just think about what you can have and how to make them delicious. To lengthen and Save your life
