Breaking The Vicious Cycle, Elaine Gottschall    
Not Available:  On Order

Pros:  Extremely helpful to the beginner who wants to have a more comprehensive explanation of how bacteria can affect the gut.  The healing protocol and menu/recipe guide are very helpful.  This diet has helped an astounding number of people find improved gut health and therefore, general health and quality of life improvements.

Cons:  The healing protocol is very basic and works but has room to improve its efficacy with a more procedural details.  Like any dietary guide, it needs to be tailored to individual needs.  For example, the 'legal' list of foods includes nuts, eggs, some dairy, some nightshades and the lily family.  However, there are several support groups to access on the internet where people who have restricted these items can offer their successes and failures with this diet.
