WOW, what a transformation!
She is a tender little one, at the youthful age of 24!
She came to me after being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, and realized that if she didn’t make a change, her life would be cut short. She hoped that exercise could help prevent her from taking diabetes medication. (so far, so good!)

Top 10 Influences which Damage Immunity (summarized from p 223)
Recently I read Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. It was a very interesting book and I am actually experimenting with adopting the diet described in the book (basically grain free and all natural, unprocessed foods).
