Summary: An update...
Review: Well, it's been 90 days and counting (see my previous review) and I feel...great! I have more energy, sleep better, my GI tract is functioning like it never has before, I've lost some weight and I'm healthy! I've been surrounded by sick people these past three months and I haven't caught a thing (knock on wood. I just feel really, really good. Now, is the diet easy to follow? Yes and no. I have had my difficult days, but knowing that I am feeling the results of eating and living healthier is all the incentive I need to get thru those cravings for cheese and wheat. Do I cheat? I only cheated a few times over the holidays, and it was just a 'taste' of something sweet. I didn't have any problems with it though. I really haven't had too many problems sticking with the diet. I guess the most difficult part for me is the wheat issue. I haven't gotten used to the rice pasta that's out there, so I'd rather just do without. I also miss cheese and find that the rice or soy cheese are just not very good tasting, so again, I do without. What have I discovered that I like? I love soy products now...tofu, tempeh, soy milk, etc. I love millet bread, peanut butter, and my daily glass of water with lemon juice. I'm enjoying cooking with whole grains and beans. This diet does take some extra planning and thought, but I just purchased a pressure cooker, which has helped tremendously in getting rice, grains and beans cooked quicker. I also continue to take the supplements she recommends...including Kyogreen, which at first made me want to gag, but now I love it! And it's so good for you! Overall, I feel just great and have now recommended this book to several friends. It's a big step to take in making a lifestyle change such as this, but I feel it's worth it. The reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because I would have liked more recipes or at least ideas of cookbooks to look for. I run out of cooking ideas...other than that--Great book!

Summary: Rethink your life
Review: While wanting to regain my health, i found something almost magical occuring as i followed Dr, Maccaro's 90 Day Immune System Makeover. I never factored in the spiritual as a posible reason for my chronic unwellness. I can honestly say that after addressing the nutritional guidelines that she maps out and then adding spiritual "food for the soul" from a Christian perspective,I am healthier in my body , mind and spirit, then i have been in years! AMEN!
