"Ruth is a medical technician who has put together this fantastic book with much technical information. The first book of its kind on the perils of both blatant caffeine ingestion and caffeine hidden in food, it is a competent directory of cause and effect. It will be on my list of recommended books for many of my clients to help them reach both mental and physical rebalancing of disturbed states of mind and body." Dr Tracie O'Keefe, DCH.

""...In this valuable book, we learn what it is like to be psychotic for so many years... We learn that it is possible to be psychotic from drinking caffeine, and we learn... But we learn even more because Miss Whalen has become the world's expert on caffeine toxicity and has referenced an enormous number of publications from the medical literature to support her claims..."

"Embarking on a research effort, she discovered that her symptoms were similar to classic symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and yet she had a hard time convincing doctors and psychiatrists that their treatments weren't helping her; they only made her worse and forced her into a psychiatric ward for awhile... "Welcome to the Dance" is Whalen's harrowing story of struggling with a confusing set of physical and psychiatric symptoms and waking up and learning to deal with the situation...The caffeine anaphylaxis that Whalen underwent was like being chronically drugged on amphetamines, altering perceptions, thoughts and actions. If you think you may have a caffeine allergy, you'd be well advised to investigate the literature on the subject, and Whalen provides extensive listings." Ruth Parnell, contributing editor, Nexus New Times magazine (a leading information source of suppressed information, including suppressed medical news). Volume 12, No. 5, p73.
