Dedication
For Trish , who has mentored me in nutrition for the last two decades, who inspired me to eat what I thought was inedible and love it, who shared with me the latest and greatest miracle minerals and who, most of all, carried my heaviest burdens in privy prayer. Thank you for our sisterhood, Queen Trish, and, when I was fighting for my life, for introducing me to...
Elizabeth : Thank you for teaching me that food is indeed medicine and for being the first health professional I knew who was interested in the story of my whole body, mind and spirit. Bless you for every email, handout and discount. Not only would I not be alive without you, but the tens of thousands who have now come to me for help might not be, either.
Ladies, you sowed your seed into the right soil. Behold your bounty!
