Stauth Cameron - The false fat diet: the revolutionary 21-day program for losing the weight you think is fat

Thank you to Cameron Stauth, my efficient and professional coauthor, whose eloquent and interactive style motivates and enables each reader to make sense out of this important health information.

Special thanks to Leslie Meredith (our editor), Richard Pine (our agent), and Howard Schiffer (our friend).

To my wife, Tara, and our children, Orion and Ishara, for your continued support in allowing me the time to work, and the joy and love that keeps me inspired to share with others.

To Joanne Victoria and the entire staff of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin, my office since 1984, for your support and motivation to continue my writing. Because the office runs so smoothly, it allows me the space and time with peace of mind to work.

To Bethany Argisle, my longtime friend and inspirational coworker on many of my books.

To Jim Braly, M.D., and Michael Rosenbaum, M.D., for your wisdom and guidance in helping me flush out some of the false fat factors.

To Mary James, N.D., for your thorough and helpful review of the food allergy/reaction testing information.

To Judy Lane, N.P, one of my work associates, for your review and input on the women's chapter.

To Sandra Stahl, for your diligent, professional work on the manuscript and all of its edits and printouts.

To Eleonora Manzolini, for your artistic cuisine input and your improvement in making our menus even more tasty.

And a special thank-you to Philippe Boulot and Susan Boulot, for your quality recipes and the added tastiness to The False Fat Diet.

Thanks also to Leslie Meredith, our astute and insightful editor, who helped to shape and focus this book from the very beginning, and who was a pleasure to work with.

Richard Pine, our literary agent, recognized the importance of this work before it even existed as a book, just as he has spotted so many other important innovations and helped integrate them into the fabric of contemporary culture. Thanks once again, Richard.

Howard Schiffer, media wizard extraordinaire, offered wise advice and kind help throughout the arduous process of presenting these concepts to the American public.

My heartfelt appreciation must also be expressed to the modern pioneers of the concept of nutritional individuality, including Dr. William Donald Kelley, Dr. F. Fuller Royal, Dr. Roger Williams, Dr. Lendon Smith, and Dr. William Philpott. It's been almost twenty-five years since I first started working with some of these esteemed doctors, and many of their words are still fresh in my mind.

This book could not have been written without the emotional support of my wife, Shari, and the technical support of my son, Gabriel, who teaches me new things about science almost every day. Thanks, too, to sweet new arrival Adrienne, for sleeping several consecutive hours almost every night.

Final billing goes to Dr. Elson Haas, a true original thinker, who has now made it possible for untold numbers of people to feel better and live longer.
