I bought this book for my daughter's boyfriend that was diagnosed with hemochromotosis quite a few years back. He along with my daughter are thrilled with the book (he's the cook). In the first part of the book there is a deep enough explanation of the disorder that is written in layman's terms.When it first arrived, I flipped through and was quite surprised at how many recipes are in it and was amazed at how many recipes called for tea.
It seems to have opened up a new world for him. He eats well, sticks to the diet and has been exercising. The last time I saw him he looked like he was in tip-top shape. Of course he still goes for his blood-letting sessions, but he has also taken charge of his diet and overall health.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has this disorder or has a loved one that does. Great gift item!
