My Kitchen Cure: How I Cooked My Way Out Of Chronic Autoimmune Disease And Prevented Cancer With Whole Foods And Healing Recipes by Mee Tracy McCormick
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Deerfield Beach, FL – In her newest book,
My Kitchen Cure: How I Cooked My Way Out of Chronic Autoimmune Disease
and Prevented Cancer with Whole Foods and Healing Recipes (MeeLee
Publishing – June 2013), Mee Tracy McCormick chronicles her journey from
near death to a vital, healthy woman with two children, husband and a
career that includes going into communities and teaching what she
learned about turning around a health crisis.
Her story starts
with hereditary Crohn’s disease, an intestinal ulceration, a diagnosis
of cancer waiting to be confirmed, and debilitating daily pain that
knocked her down and left her teetering at a painfully thin 96 pounds.
Medical tests, treatments and medicines that threatened to kill her
before they cured her had backed Mee into a health crisis corner.
Not
knowing how to proceed or even how to cook, Mee took it upon herself to
transform her kitchen into her personal healing “laboratory.” She
didn’t know it then, but she understands now that by learning about the
healing power of food, she was creating something bigger than a cure for
a personal ailment. She was creating a lifestyle… a new way of being… a
movement…. A REAL FOOD LIFE that could benefit everyone and, most
notably, the 55 million people in the United States alone who suffer
from an auto-immune disease, of which Crohn’s Disease is one.
More
than just “preaching” about this REAL FOOD LIFE, Mee has taken it upon
herself to teach what she knows in public schools to private homes. She
has set up Real Food Makeover Community Kitchens in Nashville and Los
Angeles, sometimes working with card tables and butane burners, cooking
with small groups or upwards of 150 people at a time. More importantly,
she includes the less privileged in her mission.
“I know now that
going through such challenging health issues that I still have to pay
attention to, that there was something more I needed to do,” says Mee
Tracy McCormick. “And, when I hear someone say that they were able to
cut down on their diabetes medication or how they lost 40 pounds by just
giving up foods that come in a box or can, it makes my heart sing.”
Written in three parts, My Kitchen Cure recounts:
•
The Who: Raised in Appalachia on a diet of chipped ham and ketchup
sandwiches by a single mom who died young of hereditary Crohn’s Disease;
suffered herself for 10 years or more from debilitating abdominal pain
and weight loss; married and started a family, but almost lost one
daughter in pregnancy due to complications caused by her condition;
eventually found herself doubled up in pain on the floor for 48 hours
alone with her two young girls in the Mexican jungle; moved with her
husband and family back to their ranch in Tennessee to get medical help;
made the rounds to doctor after doctor whose solutions entailed
dangerously invasive tests and mounds of daily drugs; finally found her
answer in her kitchen; then created The Real Food Makeovers, going into
her Nashville Community and shifting food deserts to food oases.
•
The What and Why: Part two covers topics like, “What is autoimmune
disease,” ”Everything you need to know about sugar,” “Dairy, to eat it
or not eat it,” What’s real & what’s fake in the food world,” and
“Feeding our kids real food every day,” to name a few.
• The How:
The kitchen staples and equipment that a REAL FOOD kitchen should stock,
along with 162 pages of recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert,
and everything in between.
