I honestly 100% believe that food is medicine. It can also be poison as well. It all depends on what you injest.

I believe this to be so and you are a case in point.

I remember when I first was investigating diet and supplements in the first weeks. Then I read a book by Vicki ----- (can't remember her last name) but it is called "There's no Place Like Hope). Her dietician (who was a PhD, MD) said that the human body is 63% water not 63% diet coke. I think that says it all.

You are doing great Madame Dubois! Your strength, resilience, wisdom and tenacity is an inspiration to all of us!

Have a great weekend.
