Amazing book !

I am amazed that this book published in 1996 has not been reviewed yet by anyone. I will tell you why ! It contains the best-kept secrets for a great healthy lifestyle and everyone must have become too selfish by not wanting to tell the world about its existence. But today the SECRET IS OUT ! This book is a must for any parent who wants to raise healthy children, for any adult who wants to go into mature age feeling young forever, for any overweight person who desperately tried all available diet plans and failed. It is a book written with so much love for people and reverence for foods offered by Mother Nature. Try to find it and read it, no matter what. You will never regret it. And your life will change forever, for the better, after you use it -- for you and your family. God bless.
