Reading: Foods that Fight Pain

by Neal Barnard, M.D. It looks like Dr. Barnard is a Dr. Dean Ornish disciple because he mentions him over and over again, has an endorsement from him above the title, and advocates an extremely low fat vegetarian diet for pain. I find it crazy that he speaks against fish and olive oil. He's extremely angry at the dairy industry, which is probably justified, but he focuses on the supposed evils of animal protein and fat instead of animal abuse and antibiotics.
I can get behind Dr. Barnard when he recommends proper sleep and exercise.

OVERALL VERDICT: skip it.
