Oh, I need to explain that I will often see alternative healers over medical doctors when I have actual pains. So, these books have alternative healing leanings.
The other is Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford.
So, some of the stuff in these books might make sense. Some might feel out there.
Plan-D: The Amazing Anti-Diet That Will Change Your Life Forever by Dee McCaffrey really spoke to me. I found some of her videos online. She explained the process to turn wheat into bread or things like cereal. Wheat has nutrients (if you are not gluten sensitive) but they are stripped out and vitamins have to be added back into the cereals so we can give it to kids. She recommned sprouted wheat. I like it. It's a little nuttier bread. She really understand the science behind nutrition. Sometimes I feel like the way bread rises before baking is the way my tummy would rise after eating it.
This one is about the benefits of probiotics but she has a dramatic title. Bacteria for Breakfast: Probiotics for Good Health by Dr. Kelly Dowhower Karpa. That is one thing I miss on the diet. I may have to add a good probiotic in.
There is also a movie/video called Food Matters. Now, with things like this I am sometimes on the fence because there often seems to be an agenda and I, personally, am not a big fan of raw foods. I get it but it's just not my scene. Raw foodists are way too hard on meat eaters although I understand where they are coming from.
I love that we are learning more about the impact of food on our lives and sometimes simply eliminating certain foods from our diets give us the most fantastic benefits.
Purple Sky (I just love your name...it makes me want to paint a purple sky) I was thinking the same thing that this will have to be a lifestyle change for me. Thanks for saying this I needed to hear it again!!! 
but I'm always up for more books...bring it on
