“Chronic illness is growing at an alarming rate.

Even with the massive amounts of organic food being

cultivated now, even with the awareness about removing processed
foods from our diets, even with the newest healing modalities,
sickness is present like never before. No one is escaping illness,

“This is not a lifestyle book. It’s a lifetime book.

In a sea of false truths, this is about saving lives.”
