Ruth Whalen wrote Welcome to the Dance...Caffeine Allergy - A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia to educate the public and spare individuals from continued physical and mental deterioration resulting from caffeine and undereducated medical professionals. The foreword was written by A. Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., FRCP (C), President, International Schizophrenia Foundation.

Welcome to the Dance contains 123 chapters and details the author's needless 27-year journey under the influence of caffeine and at the hands of medical and psychological professionals. It also details the physical and psychological symptoms of caffeine allergy, a progressive toxicity that causes symptoms of mental illness. The author also traced the true biochemical imbalances of caffeine allergy and mental illness, as defined by laboratory tests, and explains them.

Also included in the book is the story of a dietician previously ill from caffeine and sugar and diagnosed with psychosomatic illness and her twin brother's story, confirmation that mental illness is not genetic. What a person puts in his/her mouth is usually consumed by other family members and can cause extreme effects.

A young man previously psychotic from caffeine and diagnosed with psychosis wrote a chapter. He lives in Brazil, where coffee is a big part of the daily routine.

The author, Ruth Whalen, is a writer and a medical laboratory technician with extensive experience in chemistry and immunology. Miss Whalen is allergic to caffeine and was first misdiagnosed in 1975. In fact, the emergency room doctor induced psychosis. For the next 25 years, Miss Whalen continued ingesting caffeine. Psychosis became chronic and progressed. Although Ruth desperately sought adequate medical care for symptoms directly related to caffeine toxicity and allergic response to caffeine, doctors diagnosed anything but, including TMJD, rosacea, and muscular dystrophy. After a good doctor accurately diagnosed the allergy, Miss Whalen began recovering and researching. Her articles appear in the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Positive Health Magazine, and Medical Veritas, the Journal of Medical Truth.

The author states that "Doctors commonly ignore abnormal lab results. Instead, unable to pinpoint the cause of a complaint and its related abnormal lab results, doctors diagnose ADHD and/or a mental disorder. However, an abnormal lab result means that a person is suffering from a physical condition."
