This book is intended as a general information resource. It is not a substitute for professional advice and no recommendation in this book to eat, drink or use anything is intended to substitute for any prescribed medication. Consult your healthcare provider before changing your diet in any significant way and before eating any new foods or ingredients in significant quantities, especially if you are diabetic or suffer from any other health condition (and especially if you are taking any prescription drug), if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have food or other allergies. Do the same before you offer any new foods, ingredients or products to children or use aerosol products around children.

Be sure to read the warnings that accompany some of the recipes about when not to eat certain foods, when not to use certain products, and when to seek immediate medical care instead of using any home remedy.
