In The Single Ingredient Diet, Randy Rolfe takes an up-to-date look at the gaslighting which is going on by food processors, chemical companies, and regulators to rob us of our health. And she shows us how to liberate ourselves from its numbing effects and actively prevent the debilitating chronic diseases which are caused by the ultraprocessed food in the typical modern Western diet. In her twenties she developed a revolutionary and amazingly simple eating pattern which has kept her healthy well into her seventies. And in this book she shows us how it works to ensure that we are doing the best we can to support a long, healthy life.
The Single Ingredient Diet invites us to transform our relationship with food in just 21 days. We seem obsessed today with conflicts between low-fat and low-carb, meat-eating and vegan, raw and cooked. But these conflicts are just a smoke screen hiding the most important conflict, which is between real foods, which nourish and heal, and non-foods, which sicken and kill. By learning how to use only instantly recognizable foods which require no labels and foods which list only one ingredient, we can enjoy every meal from now on, free of confusion, doubt, worry, and regret. When we take up this 21 day challenge, we can look forward to happier meals, happier health, and a happier life.

In Like Lloyd, by Matt Armstrong

In June 1970, my life was working as I’d hoped. At twenty-six, when my son Jim was born with a severe cleft lip and palate, my world turned upside down. Doctors took charge of my son’s medical needs. I felt side-lined, pressured to cope silently and without support. I recoiled when I saw my ten-day-old infant’s battered face after the first surgery. Feedings were traumatic, and I feared Jim would fail to thrive. Emotions I’d never felt before – disappointment, guilt, helplessness, self-loathing, resentment -- overwhelmed me. I shrank from the inevitable stares and insensitive comments. I worried that I had caused Jim’s cleft. My husband was consumed by medical training, so I was on my own for Jim’s medical appointments and hospitalizations. A surgeon dismissed my concerns and efforts. I yearned to be the mother my son needed but could not imagine ever being a positive force in his life....
