After many years of headaches, stomach problems, lethargy, and a general lack of interest in LIFE, a very special person introduced me to the world of living foods and detoxification. In a short 6 months of eating mostly fruits and vegetables, I lost 55 lbs and started my journey to living a life based on the Earth's Goodness of Home-Grown, pesticide-free, non-GMO Food. It has been a challenge finding such common sense advice in the Modern Medical Community. My Hat comes off to all those who have stepped out to fight for the right to have REAL FOOD!!!! Thank You to all you Modern Day Pioneers!!!!! It's your persistence that has brought me from despair to a love of LIFE and (hopefully) gardening. CHEERS! George
