What leading experts are saying about the Body Ecology Diet:
"No one has ever put together all that we need to know about recovering and enhancing immunity - until now. I am making it a must reading for all my patients with candidiasis, immune disorders and food allergies." - Keith W. Sehnert, M.D., author of Selfcare/Wellcare, Stress/Unstress, and coauthor of Beyond Antibiotics
"The Body Ecology Diet is easy to understand and chock full of practical information. I recommend it!" - William G. Crook, M.D., author of The Yeast Connection and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Over 150,000 copies of The Body Ecology Diet have been sold ...mostly as a result of friends telling friends about it, not advertising. Why? It works!
If you experience pain, discomfort, fatigue, or other symptoms that won't go away no matter what you do or how many doctors you see, chances are you're one of the 80 million Americans unknowingly suffering from candidiasis, the hidden invader. The result of an imbalance in the growth of a yeast naturally present in the body, candidiasis can be a key factor in:
- Food allergies
- Sensitivity to tobacco and odors
- Digestive problems
- Other immune-related disorders
- Headaches
- Depression
- Cancer
- AIDS
- Skin rashes
- Low sex drive
- Joint and muscle pain
- Menstrual irregularities
"The Body Ecology Diet brings us into the era of whole-body therapy. I don't think the authors left anything out." Lendon H. Smith, M.D., author of Feed Your Kids Right, Feed Yourself Right, and coauthor of Beyond Antibiotics
"The Body Ecology Diet takes the mystery out of the often confusing topic of eating for optimum health. Donna Gates' book combines recent scientific thought with proven traditional healing concepts and common sense..." - Michael A. Schmidt, M.D., author of Tired of Being Tired, Managing the Patient with Chronic Fatigue, and coauthor of Beyond Antibiotics
Comments from happy customers of the Body Ecology Diet:
"...The Body Ecology Diet (BED) is how I finally recovered from bulimia & binge eating – after 4 years on the path to recovery (and trying just about everything for longer than that). I am a big proponent for experimenting with things on the level of mind, body and spirit in recovery from addictions & eating disorders. The BED supports this because it honors the ability of the body to heal itself – step by step. That’s the key, it’s a process of taking actions, no matter how small, toward your health. ...speaking to Donna was like someone finally understood what my intuition was telling me. ...Donna is a visionary in treating the body as a system – connected inextricably with the mind." – From TranscendBulimia.com
"For me, the courage to get well didn't come easily. Physically and emotionally I was very defeated, but I began to feel better within a few days of starting the diet. I can honestly say that I didn't know it was possible to feel as good as I do, and it gets easier each day. I know it sounds dramatic, but I tell people that it has saved my life. My family and I are very grateful." - N.V. Marietta, GA
"I really think that the BED system of healing is a diet that can become a lifestyle, not just a short term program." - K.M.
"The BED system of healing has revolutionized my life. Yourbook helped to diagnose my condition and with the help of mydoctor, I am now 4 months into recovering my body, mind andspirit. This "insanity" which has been going on for years isfinally under control and I am regaining my precious health. Howcan I thank you enough for writing the diet bible of thiscentury." - N.N. Shelburne, VT
"I am 69 and have been using probiotic foods for many yearsand I am in very good health. I never get flu shots or any otherkind either. Diet is the best medicine." - Sharon Redding, CA
"My son was diagnosed with Autism over two years ago. His bodyhad lots of the wrong bacteria and it struggled to break down proteins adequately - no more. The Kefir breaks the protein down for him and gives him the bacteria and enzymes he needs to gain nutrients from his food. His ability to think and speak hasimproved remarkably. He was prone to panic attacks and had acompulsive obsessive disorder - this has also greatly improved. Iam so grateful to you for making this possible." - Natasha, Sydney, NSW
"The BED diet has saved my life! At the age of 51, I now havea clean and clear inner eco system. The diet has been excitingand difficult at the same time. But the results are the prize. Ifeel and look 35, as Donna promised. I tell everybody about thebook, and of course, you are going to be the best testimonial by the way you look to others. I always believed we are what we eat,but never to the degree of the principles of the BED diet, thank you Donna." - Jill, Waukesha, WI
"I wanted to write and thank you for giving me the knowledge that has saved my life. In March 2001 I went to a holisticallyminded physician who was the first to tell me I had a "gutproblem". Klebsiella pneumonia with zero good bacteria. In AprilI started doing what she said and it really didn't help. I wentthrough her regiment for 2 months. The end of May I started theBody Ecology Diet principles. When the end of July came I was"Cured" of about 90% of all of my lifelong problems. This lasted for a 2 month period of time. The reason is my wife had to havesurgery which stopped the cooking and eating correctly. Then massive stress with many other life changes occurred. I knew Ihad to get back to it. I let it lapse for almost 3 years beforegoing back to it. What a waste of 3 years. I feel much betternow. Not quite where I need to be due to just starting again andI haven't fully implemented the total program. One thing I did learn is life is precious. Just because we have been use toliving this way for our entire lives or a good portion of itdoesn't mean we have to do it anymore. Blessings to all on thepath of health. Thank you Donna and The Body Ecology Team. It wasgreat seeing you at the Conference in Oct. " - Ken, Las Vegas, NV

Must Read for all CFS patients!1/25/12
By J. Sprat (Rome Ga.)
Candida is very hard to cure. Dr. Oren Truss started research and treatment on this. Dr. William Cook later took up the cause. After reading The Body Ecology Diet I can see why Dr. Truss' and Dr. Cooks diets and treatments failed me. This diet works!

It all makes so much sense. Am losing weight and eating well.
Fantastic book1/13/12
By Ms Airiauda (Medfore, Oregon)
I have been on a health quest for 15 years. I really enjoyed how The BED book covered all the different ways of eating. I have tried all of them, I liked how the book pulled the good things from each diet, combined them and then added the all important microbiology principles that make the BED superlative to all others.
The only drawback is the book is rather basic for someone like me. It is great for beginners who only want to follow a diet, and it would be great to have a more advanced book that answers the more in depth microbiology based questions that I have. (but I understand that would be hard to sell to the general public)
This life changing process is the key.12/31/11
By Dominick (Charlotte, NC)
This is our second book. We have been doing the diet for a little over a year now four our daughter who was diagnosed with sever classic autism. We would say and so have others in the medical field who have firsthand experiences that she is not severe any more. She still to this date has had no ABA therapy. This and a regiment of supplements has been her only intervention.

Without this book I think I would have had to struggle with candida for many more years. There is nothing like it. Thank you!

I am so excited to have found BED I have been searching for many years, like Donna and have tried so many diets, supplements, healers, you name it I tried it,, and I believe this is the answer,, Thank you Donna!!
Great Book12/19/11
By C Lewis (Frederick, MD)
This is a great book to improve health overall, but especially if you have Candida overgrowth. Seems hard at first, but keep at it and soon it will be second nature.
Great book12/17/11
By Ellen (Wallingford, VT)
I bought this book 2 months ago and it has changed my life. I have followed it and feel 100% more energy, sleep better and have lost 25 pounds. Everyone comments that I look younger and healthier. I am very grateful. It is not easy but well woth it. This book led the way.
Clear and concise, a must read for the health-minded12/7/11
By t-chal (Los Angeles, CA)
This would be hard to follow if weight is the only issue, but when you feel interminably exhausted and unwell, and long for the days of feeling healthy and energetic, it is much easier to stick to a diet that clearly makes you feel better. I have done the elimination diet, which works great as long as I stick to it, but as soon as I try to reintroduce other foods I slip back to the old symptoms. I am quite hopeful that the BED is the solution I've been looking for, the whole picture, not just eliminating the foods that feed the problem, but integrating the means to heal my body.
Not Sure about this11/29/11
By Corine (Waterbury, CT)
This diet seems very complicated and hard to do.
Feeling better already11/17/11
By Carrie (Tampa, FL)
I love this book! This is my third copy, I've given the other 2 away to friends that needed some help with their diet. Cultured veggies are the way to go, they really help curb your appetite and stop eating sugar.
Good information but no game plan.11/12/11
By Mamabyrd (Spring Hill, TN)
I like the idea behind the book but I found it hard to follow. I don't think it does a very good job of helping you implement the diet. I need step by step instructions.
Great information. I Am really eager to get started11/11/11

There was so much good usable information regarding how to approach caring for the body in this book. A persons health could really improve when this program is embraced.
Just what I needed10/27/11
By HJ (Sacramento, CA)
This information was the missing link I needed so much in my healing journey. I am discovering fermented foods and drinks and it is so helpful to know what foods need to be avoided when you have candidiasis. Thank you Donna!
I love the new look and layout of the new edition of The Body Ecology Diet Book10/23/11
By Kim (Whte Hall, MD)
The new edition of the Body Ecology Diet book is great. I love the smaller size and changes made to the index allow for easier searches of information. I am also pleased with the updates to pertinent information in the content of the book. I use this program with my clients with great success. They love every recipe we try.
Great! Needs more graphs.10/20/11
By Cheyenne (Tacoma, WA)
Overjoyed that I found this book. I have PLS and have been put on many ALS diets with no results. Donna's program is comprehensive and getting simpler by the day. My skin is clear, I'm sleeping better, energy is higher and no more b.o.! I do want more graphs, lists and timelines to help organize my new lifestyle as it is a lot of info.

Great info for improving digestion!9/26/11
By Jen (Brightwood, OR)
This is a great book for learning about digestion and why ours is not good in today's age. This is wonderful knowledge to improve your life and well-being. I'm already seeing results on the program after only 1 week. My only suggestion would be to include something in the book about your core program products, some kind of guideline to include in the daily routine as on the page "BED Simplified".
Otherwise, great book!!
Wonderful news9/26/11
By Kara (Milton-Freewater, OR)
This book has got me all excited to try the Body Ecology Diet. Over and over again, Donna has confirmed suspicions of my own and given me the power to do something about it! So far, the recipes are really tasty (which surprised and relieved me) and simply following the principles of the diet have made it possible for me to eat a meal and walk away without stomach pains, indigestion, and other symptoms I've been dealing with my entire life.
More help than expected9/25/11
By Ragene (Des Moines, Iowa)
I was skeptical that a diet change would really make a difference for my declining health and stamina. I have been pleasantly proved wrong, just the small changes I have made are making a difference. Only on pg 36 with some chapters ahead previewed. The book is concise, down to earth, and even someone like me who has come dragging their feet, can benefit greatly. Thank you so much for the wealth of information that all fits together so well. Very well written!
Super!!9/19/11
By Abby (Clipper Mills, CA)
I love this updated version of Donna's book. I am a bottom line person and this way of eating does get 'to the bottom line' of addressing health problems. Thank you, Donna, for developing your program and also for continuing to develop it year after year!
excellent info9/2/11
By ntxwriter (Arlington, Texas)
I've read many books on diet and health and something was always missing from them. I found what Donna Gates calls, "The Missing Piece" in the body ecology diet. I'm going through the book, bit by bit, changing my diet and following the information in this book. I even made my first fermented veggies! I feel so much better already. My digestion is better and I just feel cleaner inside. This is a great anti-aging diet too so anyone who wants to age well and avoid inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, should definitely look into this book.
Very comprehensive book 8/18/11
By 9aMM (Thomaston, GA)
I learned a great deal about how the body works and why the BodyEcology diet is so helpful. I like knowing the whys. I am going to purchase another copy for my daughter who struggles with candida and enjoys eating nutritious foods.

One day at a time8/17/11
By Carrie (Phx Az)
I am in my late 30's and am very active and what I thought...was very heathy. Two years ago I started getting reoccruing urinary track infections and could not figure out the problem. Went to the Dr. and they put me on a mild anti biotic for several months to clear up the issues. I finally stopped getting urinary track infections. However, I started getting serious sinus infections. I would feel better when I was on an antibiotic to clear it up, but then the infecton would return even worse about 4-5 days after I stopped the antibiotic. I had no idea the damage that I was causing myself being on antibiotics for so long. My Dr's never said anything to me. They just kept perscribing them to me. Finally I started doing my own research and determined that I had Candida. I went to a Naturalpathic Dr who confirmed this as well. I just finished reading the Body Ecology diet 8/11 and I have already made my cultured coconut water keifer and cultured the meat of the coconut as well. I also made my cultured veggies too. My veggies still need a few more days to ferment, but I just drank the coconut water keifer yesterday and ate the coconut keifer today. I am following the diet very strickly. I cut out, coffee, fruit (with exception to the one in the book), dairy, any bread, pasta, carbs (except the ones in the book), and Sugar. My body went through some serious withdrawls for about two weeks. I definitely felt worse, but I knew it was coming because of the yeast "die off" in my system. I am starting to feel a little better and starting to get some energy back. It has been a difficult process, but I know I am doing what is best for my body right now. I am prepared to be on the diet for as long as it takes. I am thankful for this book and the knowledge that it has given me to combat candida.
The only thing that I felt that was missing was a chapter on stage 1, 2 and 3 of the diet. There were several places that she referred to stage 1 or stage 2 of the diet do's and don't but there is not a chapter that outlines what to expect in stage 1 and stage 2 in detail. That is the only thing that I wish would have been added. Overall the book is excellent and great for everyone to read.
Great Information8/9/11
By KE (Valencia, CA)
I thought this book was very well written. It was especially helpful when she compared the main diets vs. the Body Ecology diet. I am also excited to try some of the recipes.

I've suffered from a gluten intolerance and digestive issues for several years. This book gave me some new strategies. After jist a few weeks I feel great and have more energy.
Life Changing Information!7/14/11
By AGouldGirl (Ventura, CA)
I am currently 52 years old. About 10 years ago, my digestive health started to decline....on the fast track! I have spent thousands of dollars on tests and have discovered that I am intolerant to gluten, casein, and even fructose! My gallbladder doesn't function and now my pancreas is insufficient, too! I found the Body Ecology Diet book and it has turned around my life. I haven't even started the diet yet, but somehow know this is the answer that I have been looking for. I have vacation and parties this summer, but have set a start date for August 8, 2011. I am so looking forward to feeling better and have been telling everyone about BED. I quit drinking coffee over two weeks ago, started eating less sugar, and am gathering spices and sea vegetables, to be more prepared. I can't wait!
Thank you sooo much for the easy to read, easy to understand, guide to regaining your health!
Makes the most sense of any diet out there!7/12/11
By Kim (White Hall, MD)
This is an excellent book if you are dealing with chronic illness and mental/emotional issues... and even if you aren't!! Everyone should take steps to improve the health of their inner ecosystem. This book is an excellent guide in implementing those steps. I am sharing this book and program with all of my health coaching clients!
