In his groundbreaking book, Trace Your Genes to Health, Dr. Reading relates case histories from his many years of practice.

The findings often indicate food allergy in the history of these serious ailments. After reading this book, you will no longer look at any of your health symptoms as isolated occurences, but rather as part of the evolution of your lineage.

Here's a recent review from Organic Family Magazine:
It seems like so much of the information we internalize is gathered from news snippets and commercials. We hear things like: eggs are bad; drink lots of milk and green tea. The problem is that we are not sure why these things are true. How many of us hear the snippet and then spend the time reading all the opposing scientific papers to determine why the statement was made so we can make informed decisions about making a change in our diet? Michael Barbee has done the research for us in his book Politically Incorrect Nutrition: Finding Reality in the Mire of Food Industry Propaganda.
The book covers a variety of nutritional topics and challenges conventional thinking citing historical sources as to why we believe certain things. For example, the conventional thinking on eating eggs is that we shouldn't eat too many as they are high in fat and cholesterol or that we should throw out the yolk and only eat the white. The author takes us through the history of why eggs were originally found to be unhealthy-a study conducted on dried egg yolk powder, not whole, fresh, organic, free-range chicken eggs. Since 1945 egg consumption has dropped by almost 50%, yet there has not been a subsequent drop in heart disease. The author says that eggs are nutrient dense and that "eggs have the best nutrient package of any food we can eat." He ties in the politics of cholesterol paranoia by making the connection with greedy corporate America. The emphasis placed on cholesterol being bad is misguided and has led the drug companies to earn mega-bucks by selling cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) to unsuspecting citizens.
Assumptions made about eggs are just one topic covered in this book. There are also chapters on green tea, soy, cholesterol, conjugated linoleic acid, fluoridation, aspartame, osteoporosis, bovine growth hormone, plastics and microwaves, vitamin C, food irradiation, and vegetarianism. The book concludes with a chapter on whether or not there is indeed a perfect "best diet" for everybody.

Chris Reading, M.D.
Dr. Reading, like Dr. Hoffer, is a medical genius. Completely original and innovative, a doctor of rare enthusiasm and compassion-- all apparent in this most valuable work.
John Diamond, M.D.
Dr. Chris Reading graduated in medicine from Sydney University in 1968 and qualified in psychiatry in 1973. He specialized in organic psychiatry, subsequently becoming interested in research into vitamin and mineral deficiencies, metabolic disorders, food allergies and clinical immunology/ ecology, and genetics as it applies to neuropsychiatric disorders. Dr. Reading currently practices in Sydney, Australia, treating private patients and writing medical articles within his areas of expertise.
From A Review by Harold McFarland, www.readerspreference.com/:
After graduating from medical school Dr. Reading became qualified in psychiatry and specialized in organic psychiatry. From this point he began to notice the relationships between vitamin-mineral deficiencies, food allergies, and genetics as they affect neuropsychiatric disorders. Soon he was able to compile data to show that there are genetic factors in many, many problems that are not generally thought to be genetic in nature. Dr. Reading has distilled his years of experience and knowledge into his book, Trace Your Genes To Health.
This is not a book designed for self-diagnosis of problems and that is good. The book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of genetics and how the various types of dominant/recessive, autosomal, and X-linked factors work together to create a genetic pattern of inheritance. Throughout the book Dr. Reading builds a persuasive case for examining the family tree as part of a more holistic approach to health than just treating a symptom that occurs in your generation. Looking at the family history may reveal many clues as to how to treat a problem as well as how to avoid it altogether.
From Dr. David William's Newsletter, Alternatives:
"If the latest breakthroughs in genetic mapping have done anything, they have conferred more legitimacy to doctors who have been successfully diagnosing and treating patients based on family history.
One of these doctors is Chris Reading, who practices and resides in Sydney. He has been analyzing and using family trees to treat patients for more than 20 years. The results he has achieved are remarkable."
