Synopsis

A collection of delicious recipes developed to support the diet that can reverse rheumatoid arthritis – plant-based, low fat and with no added fats for cooking – illustrated with beautiful photographs from the author’s collection. This is a diet that can seem drab and restrictive at the outset but Iida has made it tempting and inspiring.

Authors Biography

Iidamaria is an online proponent of plant-based whole-food eating. She developed the symptoms of inflammatory arthritis – so badly she could hardly walk down stairs – and resolved to overcome it by eating differently. Her research led her to the Paddison Program which restored her health and which her recipes support.

    And forks over knives but it doesn’t seem to sink in to some people. One of my employees is on 20+ tablets a day diabetes heart problems etc and went aggressive with me when I suggested he may be able to lose some or most of his meds but he won’t even try for a week

A great compliment to The Paddison Program for Rheumatoid Arthritis!

  90. It is simply how good this book is to help with RA.

  91. Hands down, Apples app store wins by a mile. Its a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but Im not sure Id want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case. Technically, colitis disease is an inflammation of the colon.

  92. Thats some great basics there, already knew some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “youngin” could put together such information as mario suggested. Maybe he’s just trying to be “controversial? lol

  93. Hi 🙂 Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It if truth be told was a enjoyment account it. Glance complicated to far introduced agreeable from you! However, how could we keep in touch?

  96. I love getting some more disability benefits, especially because of my mental disorders.

  97. This is such a fantastic resource that youre offering and also you give it absent free of charge. I adore seeing web websites that comprehend the value of providing a quality resource free of charge. It?s the outdated what goes about arrives around routine.

  98. Great article, I just passed this onto a co-worker who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I discovered it for him. :). So let me rephrase that: Thanks for the treat! But yeah Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is very helpful for me. Two thumb up for this blog post!

  99. Odd , your website shows up with a brownish hue to it, what color is the main color on your site?

  100. A Kitchen Fairytale is just that – a wonderful, sparkly tale – that has contributed a much needed resource to the plant based, whole food, community!

    The stories, the tips, the struggles shared, along with delicious recipes (that work!) make this recipe book feel like a friend sharing experiences over a cuppa, or a neighbour dropping a recipe over the back fence, while sharing their story behind it.
