PROLOGUE
Three doctors declared that I would die at age twenty-
one after I had received medical treatments for cancer.
I began searching, experimenting and exploring other
means to gain my health. I discovered that good health
most often comes when one eats a diet consisting of
foods that supply the most bioactive nutrients; they are
mentioned throughout the following pages.
Since I was intent on sharing all that I learned, I
became a scientist and nutritional counselor, learning
more by experimentation and helping others. The high
point of gratification in my work in the health field is the
saga that We Want To Live;Volume One, Out of the
Grips of Disease and Death tells. It is the battle I waged
when the doctors said that my son was on his deathbed.
