Then
I spent another two and a half years studying different types of healing diets
like macrobiotics, raw foods, veganism, pH balance and then at the end of three
years time, I realized that for the first time in my life I had a sustained
remission without any prescription medication.
I
thought I'm going to go back into nutrition. I'm going to see if what I've
learned might help somebody else and I approached Whole Foods. They told me
that I needed to be a registered dietitian to teach there and so I took the
test to get re-certified as a registered dietitian. Then as I started doing
consultations for people I realized I was spending a lot of time after the
consultation putting together information that I could send them to make it
easier for them to have success with what I'd recommended.
And
as I was spending all this time after consultation, it occurred to me �Why
don't I just put all this stuff together into one thing and make a little
brochure out of it. It will be a much more useful and much more professional
for me to present this to someone as a little guideline at the end of the
consultation. And then I won't have to just spend all this time doing these
email attachments. They aren't nearly as well formulated as a concrete little
brochure would be.�
I
put it into a brochure and then it occurred to me. In fact, the first time I
ever started selling it was when I was speaking at the national conference for
the National Psoriasis Foundation. And I thought maybe I should bring some of
these things with me and see if anybody would want to buy them. And I sold a
bunch.
Also
when I spoke at that conference what I saw was that a lot of people had
interest in diet and psoriasis because the particular class I did tied for the
highest attendance of all the lectures that we're given. And so the interest in
my class combined with the book that sold made me think that maybe some other
people would want to buy this, too.
And
people that really have nothing to do with psoriasis because what I'd realized
by this time was that the principles associated with this way of eating are not
limited to psoriasis. These principles extend to the spectrum of chronic
disease.
Now
the book sells in whole foods markets. They sell in physician offices. They
sell in dermatologist offices. They sell in book stores. The sell on Amazon and
Amazon is now selling in five countries.
So
it kind of grew. I never intended to write a book. I was basically trying to
make my consultations as effective as possible.
