Everywhere in the world people are beginning to seek the benefits of a healthier way of life, taking charge of what goes in and on their bodies, and not accepting that what they read on a label is necessarily good for them.

For instance, Alan points out that "of all the foods consumed by human beings milk is probably the most misunderstood. A cow’s milk is intended for feeding its young, but only until its teeth have developed and it can chew solid food. Yet milk continues to maintain a high profile, through high promotion, as being a perfect food source for calcium, and part of protein and vitamin needs. Adult humans lack the necessary enzyme in their stomachs to properly coagulate the protein in milk, making it highly mucus inducing."

This book is a comprehensive guide, simplified enough to help people understand the natural ways to better health. It answers many questions for healthy living and the natural care of individuals and families.
