"I read your bio, wow what a long and interesting journey, how long have you been working on this website? I have never found a better dietary approach than this, and I've been struggling with yeast overgrowth for many years in and out of doctors and taken way too many useless medications. I actually feel like I can do something with this plan, thank you!"

"It has been such a long time since I felt well, and this website is already helping me to take control of my own health. When I read your story, and looked at all the information you've put together, and realized I was learning so much in the comfort of my own home, I actually cried. Who funds this website? Please tell them thanks from a very grateful 31 year-old single mother of 3."
