Giveaway and Book Review: The Gluten Effect by Doctors Vikki & Richard Peterson


Doctors Vikki and Richard Petersen, founders of the celebrated HealthNOW method have released their book, The Gluten Effect. I really enjoyed this book because of the interesting insights shared by the authors. As the mother of a child with Celiac Disease, I thought I knew a lot about the effects of Gluten on the body. The Gluten Effect broadened my horizons and opened my eyes to the fact that Gluten could be responsible for more health problems that you can possibly imagine. Would you like to read it and find out more? Here is your chance to win a copy! I am GIVING (2) lucky Gluten Free Taste of Home followers a copy of The Gluten Effect!

“The Drs. Petersen have cracked open a world hidden from view but one that causes untold suffering for millions. The Gluten Effect is a remarkable window into the innumerable ways in which gluten— that sticky little molecule found in bread and hidden in so many other places—can cause everything from autism to dementia, from depression to psoriasis and so much more. If you have nagging symptoms that just don’t go away, and you have no idea where they come from, you may be suffering from the gluten effect. This book can save your life!”—Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of UltraMetabolism, The UltraSimple Diet and The UltraMind Solution.

  4. I am following Gluten Free Taste of Home PUBLICLY via Google Friend Connect, AND discovered that joint and muscle aches can be caused by gluten sensitivity. I have systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis and seem to have all of these listed conditions. It sounds like I really need to read this book.
