About meDiagnosed with Celiac, I found it impossible to find a condensed list of safe and unsafe ingredients with full details and proper explanations about discrepancies. There were/are several grocery guides, but who can carry around 400 pages all over the place? Not to mention, they are updated, at best, once every 2 years; meanwhile manufacturers change their ingredients more often than that. By law, they have to update the labels as they change ingredients - so the only sure way to stay safe is to always check labels. And that's how these 2 books were born. Stay healthy :)

"Conquering Depression" was born when I fell into one caused by vitamin deficiences, a side effect of most illnesses. Again, all I found were books that were huge and too technical/medical, or books of personal stories which may be comforting to a degree, but offered no help or solutions. This book's goal is to offer the right balance of both.

About my libraryBoth Celiac guides are helpful to anyone with a gluten intolerance. I have had positive feedback not just from people with Celiac and wheat allergies, but also from people suffering from MS. They are very convenient (due to their size and light weight 5" x 8", less than 100 pages) and useful tools.

"Conquering Depression" offers the critical nutritional information needed by anyone suffering from depression (in an easy to read, condensed manner) and offers the comfort of someone who can truly empathize.
