This book suffers from the common ailment that plagues this sort of readings - the solution to one's problem is much worse than the problem itself, at least when it comes to mild autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's. Moreover, the Myers' Way may be at least somewhat realistic in the USA, but for anybody else where I live it's pure utopia. Cut out all the grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nightshades? Even the tiniest particle of gluten that re-enters your system, even from shampoo (?!) could destroy all the previous effort? No sugar or alcohol whatsoever?
I suppose existing is better than dying, but living sure beats existing. I can comprehend the author's reasoning, and it seems quite convincing, but unfortunately this is not a viable solution for me personally, not by a long shot.

Tried this diet for 30 days. Going on it significantly decreased my suspected arthritis symptoms - way more than when I was on medications alone. Yes the diet can be expensive and sad. At some points i felt like i couldn't eat anything. But it helps, so I'm willing to continue.
About the book - I wish she just explained the science in a more straighforward, matter of fact matter. I got annoyed with her "let me tell you why this is bad/good for you" sentences that kept repeating throughout the book. I get it, you need to scare some people to believe them, but after a few times facts are probably better.
Whenever I got confused by the science in this book, I'd go to paleomom.com. It's creator, Sarah Ballantyne, is also a doctor who is famous for the paleo diet and it's version similar to the myers way - the autoimmune protocol. Her explanations are quite dense but still digestible.

I really only scan read bits of it. Once I saw the amount of change her plan expected I knew it was too much for me at that time.
