Whole Foods Diet Archives

Thanks, Barb.

This is part of the basis for the Price/Pottenger Foundation that I have
been quoting for the past 25 years. It can be reached at
price-pottenger.org Add /books.html and all their publications become
visible.

The Human Genome Project is now demonstrating WHY their empirical
observations were so accurate.

Physicians have no reason to prevent disease since TREATING disease is what
makes the money. Until the allopathic monopoly is broken discoveries like
this will be resisted to the last man and it is the public that suffers and
pays.

You can see that you have pushed one of my buttons.

Love, Dad
