A clear introduction to adjusting your diet for kidney disease by H. Grinsell (Cape Cod, MA)

This is a Vegetarian Diet Book for patients with kidney diease. Prior to buying this book I did a considerable amount of internet research on how to manage a loved one's nutritional needs for Glomerulonephritis. This book, which I initially borrowed from the library, provided the clearest explanation of the unique dietary needs and how to address them in a format that I could easily understand. It quickly helped me to clear up some misconceptions and make some positive changes in the diet. It also was among the few books that I viewed that clearly addressed the individual needs of different types and stages of kidney disease. It's the best book for patients and non-professionals that I've read to date. A friend of mine who is a Veterinarian thought it was a good reference for his patients as well. I wonder if the other reviewers understood that it was specifically geared towards preserving kidney function??? Definitely 5 stars.

I would have liked for this book to compare vegetarian products such as tofu, tempeh and seitan and to include more recipes using these products. There were only 20 pages of recipes.

The Vegetarian Diet for Kidney Disease Treatment by C. J. James (New Zealand)

This book was a rare find. Absolutely fantastic - easy to read, easy to navigate, easy to dip in and out of as well as being informative and research based. Plant-based proteins are SO much better than animal proteins for our bodies and therefore this book is vital not only for vegetarians but for anyone wanting to know more about how to manage kidney disease safely and effectively. Strongly recommended.

Stupid Book by Washington Patty (WA United States)

This book is a huge disappointment. It seems to be the most basic, elementary, idiotic presentation of the obvious that is possible. It is even in big huge print so I guess it is designed for imbeciles. This is a horrible waste of paper.

Marginally Useful by Eugene F. Timpe (Carbondale, Illinois)

This little book has some useful information in it, and a lot of recipes. Almost all of the recipes, however, depend upon special, expensive, mail order ingredients. I believe it is possible to make low-protein meals without such ingredients. In making bread, for instance, I mix in 0 protein tapioca starch (from the oriental food market) and white cornmeal. The bread you get isn't Wonder Bread, to be sure, but it has about half the protein content of commercial bread and it tastes pretty good. I don't find the book indispensible by any means.
