• Joel Godin has evidently taken the existing No Starch Diet and written a book on this matter so as to profit from this information. Unlike kickas.org he does not give this information out freely.

• The story of John Merchant (aka dragonslayer) who played a key role in spreading the word about the link between AS and diet. Actually I haven’t read this one yet :-). I am pretty sure John also wrote a book on AS, but I have not been able to find it [sigh]
