Reviews

"All in all this book is compelling, readable, practical and workable. I recommend it highly." Suzannah Oliver in 'Positive Health', November 2001 'I was given your book for my 89th birthday... I have followed your advice and now 4 months later I have given up painkillers. It is truly wonderful to be free from pain and go about my household duties, my garden and daily walks with pleasure again. It's a joy to get out of bed. My heartfelt thanks to God and you who have brought about this miracle. If only more people would believe in you both.' Mrs Mary Cope
