Helpful Resources
My staff and I have prepared this Resource Directory to help you in the pursuit of better health for yourself and your loved ones. I am personally acquainted with the listed organizations and can attest to the value of their services. In the listing of books and tapes, you will find a wealth of medical and nutritional information. Many of the books have been written by colleagues who specialize in a nutritional approach to healing. I hope this Directory helps you to better appreciate and utilize the wide range of healing possibilities now available.
Remember, with any book or tape, information is just information -- even in works by 'experts.' A particular piece of advice may or may not be true for every person, with every medical condition, every time. The guidance in these books and other resources is not meant to replace competent care by an experienced health professional, and the ultimate choice about any test or treatment is yours. Ask enough questions so that you can make an informed decision. If necessary, insist on your health professional drawing pictures for you to explain the condition or proposed procedure. Trust your own experience and never be afraid to change your mind if your heart and your common sense tell you to do so. Change whatever you need to change in your diet, in your thoughts, and in your lifestyle to create the conditions that produce true health in your body and spirit -- and you will have the greatest chance for a long and happy life.
