Book Reviews
"Hello Adam,
I'm really relating to your book. For 13 years I've been dealing with milder version than you, but have been told all along that food and stress have nothing to do with our disease, what crap. Readind your story is like listening to a friend, very candid and not a bunch of bull. I think I'll follow your advise and say no way to the doctors that are pushing me to go on 6-mp drugs. Thanks Adam and God Bless." Martha Blaine, Minnesota, USA 
"Fantastic, funny, approachable and easy to read. Comforting to hear from someone who knows what it is like and can relate as opposed to clinical practioners that only understand text book material. All UC patients should be given a copy when first diagnosed. Thanks Adam." K. Matheson Toronto, Ontario, Canada NOW AVAILABLE: "Feeling Crappy to Feeling Happy" Click Here to learn more...
