Summary: Essential Nutrition Advice for Mothers-to-Be
Comment: This well-researched and logical description of the probable causes of first trimester morning sickness is a must-read for expectant mothers. The author, with compelling logic and evidence, theorizes that morning sickness is the evolutionary defense of the expectant mother's body's against toxins (particularly naturally-occuring plant toxins and bacteria on slightly spoiled meats) which could damage the fetus during its most critical phase of organ formation, which occurs in the 1st three months. Despite the alarmist reaction of the previous Amazon reviewer who rebuked the author for not always prefering natural foods, Profet's focus is on showing mothers how to keep their bodies as free from toxins as possible during this period, which happens to include many naturally occurring plant and grain toxins. Suggestions for a healthy 1st trimester diet and how to cope with morning sickness are included. There are many different facets to morning sickness and the author explores them all. Don't be led astray by one reader's knee-jerk reaction.

Summary: LIFE SAVER!!!!
Comment: We have passed this book around to almost 20 expectant mothers! If you know someone that is having or is prone to having morning sickness, this book will be a god-send. We were very skeptical at first, but then followed the diet and other suggestions... it was amazing. I wish every woman would follow this during the first trimester.

Summary: plain bad ADVICE!!!
Comment: This is the worst book I have ever read regarding pregnancy subject. The author suggested against switching to organic foods and recommended eating bland processed grains--a recipe for health disaster such as hemorrhoid (page 150). We all know that conventional foods and vegetables contain a much higher level of pesticide residue and a lot of chemicals and a lot of scientific studies have proven so. If what she stated was valid, a lot bad things (i.e., defects) would have happened to those East Indian, Korean and Mexican mothers because they consumed a lot of spices such as chilies and other herbs.

Don't waste your money buying this bood. Check it out from your local library first.
