REVIEWS |
"...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..."

"The list of troubles related to chronic caffeinism is very long. I do not think Ms. Whalen missed a one. From Anxiety, Anorexia, Anaphylaxis and ADHD to Schizophrenia, Suicide, Vertigo and Violence, Welcome to the Dance's 123 compact chapters provide ample variety to keep the reader's interest..." A. Saul, Ph.D. Doctoryourself.com Newsletter. Volume 5, # 11: August, 2005.
"...Firstly, she presents her own account
of living with psychosis, which is valuable in teaching others what it
is like to be psychotic. Secondly, she has referenced an enormous number
of publications and provides excellent biochemical information that
should be of interest to all health professionals. Thirdly, she is
sending her warning about the dangers of coffee to every caffeine user
unknowingly poisoned and unethically diagnosed with a mental
disorder." June Butlin, Ph.D., Positive
Health. Issue 115, p57. September 2005.
“You are a brilliant writer. You are a brilliant researcher… I am certain that literally millions of people have suffered from this allergy and have been misdiagnosed for a lifetime… You will enjoy her story, and you will be enthralled by Miss Whalen and her courage… It is extremely compelling and well scientifically documented.. I hope that it is translated into every language…” Tony K., host Artistfirst. com.
"...her symptoms were similar to classic
signs of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and yet she had a hard time
trying to convince doctors and psychiatrists that their treatments
weren't helping her... The caffeine anaphylaxis that Whalen underwent
was like being chronically drugged on amphetamines, altering
perceptions, thoughts and actions..." Nexus
New Times Magazine
"As a recovered victim of caffeine poisoning, who experienced its horrifying symptoms during an 18-month coffee habit (beginning with anxiety attacks and culminating in schizophrenic-like psychosis), I can't recommend this book highly enough. Miss Whalen's research saved my life. If the essence of Welcome to the Dance were taken as gospel by the psychiatric community, I have no doubt millions more would be saved." Host, caffeineweb
"You're giving the world a gift of love by telling your story...This book belongs in every home." Karin Janin, author, Magic of Intention
"Thank you for allowing me the chance to take this journey with you..." Chris, mother and secretary, Rhode Island
"It's been about 3-4 days since I've received your book in the mail, and I'm almost nearing the end. It's a little frightening, because every page turned, every word read, I just felt a whole chill of empathy. Like, never in the past two years have I read something that I could so relate to.... The book is brilliant, and striking enough to keep me glued to every word you wrote....Thanks again." "Jay"To order your copy:
