Step 2: Determine Your Body Composition
The Bathroom Scale and Beyond

The book you now hold in your hands can and will not only change your life for the better, but if you read and apply it seriously, it will very likely save you from an unnecessarily early demise. This is quite a claim, and the reason I can speak from such an authoritative position is because that is precisely what it has done for me.

I have heard it said that a coincidence is nothing more than God hiding behind a cloud and smiling. Well, the day that Pam McDonald came into my life, God was not only smiling behind that cloud, but Im certain that he was winking and clapping for having arranged such a fortuitous meeting.

Pam and one of her colleagues had come to Maui to meet with me and share some of the enormous successes theyd had in treating patients with serious disease via the new integrativemedical science, in combination with the teachings Ive been speaking about publicly for the past 35 or so years. They didnt know exactly where I lived, so they both followed their intuitive knowing and simply waited in the grassy area near the beach in west Maui where I live part-time. On the day we met, I had just returned from a visit to a medical team and had been informed that I was living with a medical condition called Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia (CLL). Someone or something smiling from behind the cloud urged me to go outside and take a walk on a path that I had never taken before at a time when I had never exercised before. As I walkedmy mind in a quandary as I attempted to grasp what Id just heard a few hours beforeI was approached by Pam and her colleague Kim. They asked if I could take a few moments to share the excitement they felt concerning their work and how my own lifes work had been so instrumental to them in applied integrative medicine.

My mind at that moment was not open to talking to anyone about anything, since I was somewhat in shock about what I had just learned. All I really wanted to do is go for a long walk alone and meditate and ask for Divine guidance as to what my next step should be. As I have said so often, in times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises, so have a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing.

After talking politely for a few moments, I simply blurted out what Id just learned about the leukemia diagnosis, and Pam said to me without hesitation, I thought I came here to share our findings in integrative medicine and the Apo E Gene diet, but obviously I was sent here to help you heal your own body. Since that day, Pam McDonald, the author of this life-changingno, life-saving, bookhas been my constant integrative-medicine practitioner, and has personally guided me to a whole new level of mind/body health.

This book is loaded to the gills with specific information that will indeed transform your life in so many ways. Basically, the book is well written and professionally researched in order to be of assistance to anyone embarking on a healing path. If this were not true, I would not be writing this Foreword and endorsing this material enthusiastically.

What the book doesnt do, however, is tell you about the spiritual consciousness embedded in the author, who painstakingly researched and wrote this amazing material. Pam McDonald lives and breathes what she writes about. She immediately arranged to have my blood tested and discovered that I was a 3/3 on the Apo E gene scale. She designed a specific diet for me, taking into account the fact that the test revealed I had one of the highest cholesterol traits predictive of aggressive heart disease she had ever seeneven thought my routine-screening cholesterol test showed me to be in the normal range. She further noted that based upon my genetic coding, the medications I was taking were completely wrong for my genetic trait.

Pam took it upon herself to prescribe the correct treatment, along with dietary recommendations that would serve to reduce my cellular inflammation and put me back on to a regimen of well-being in harmony with my own genetic blueprint. As a 3/3, the worst thing I could do was go on a low-fat diet. Indeed, I learned that my body could not process and break down certain foods that I had been eating for a lifetime. It was Pam who arranged to have my blood properly processed. And she was also the one who called me every day to ensure that I understood which foods I had to avoid and which ones I needed to make the major focus of my new eating regimen.
