"At last, someone has written a book that explains, based on the medical litera-
ture, why we need to provide all the nutrients in supplementation to the cell in
balance and at optimal levels. Everyone should read this book in orderto begin
taking control oftheir own health."
Dr. MyronWentz,
Immunologist, microbiologist, and
founderofGullLaboratories and USANA
This book is superbly written, and once I started reading it I could not put it
down. I congratulate you on composing an excellent authoritative publication,
which will be uselful for enlightening both physicians and patients alike on the
health benefits ofnutritional supplements.
M. Coyle Shea, M. D. F.A.C.S.
Thank you for yourbook, which I think is very well written and informative.
I especially liked your comments regarding the label of"alternative medicine" as
there is certainly nothing alternative about sound, rational, nutritional advice and
supplementation to optimize the body's own defenses and healing potential.

Acknowledgments
I want to give a special thank you to Dr. Myron Wentz. His unwavering
dedication in the fight against degenerative disease has truly been an inspiration.
I also appreciate the boldness with which Dr. Kenneth Cooper is speaking out to
the medical community in recommending that everyone needs to be taking
nutritional supplements.
This book is a reality primarily because ofmy wife, Elizabeth. She has been a
gift from the Lord. Herconstant encouragement and loving support is what
really kept my focus. With my busy private practice and strong commitment to
my family, it was the late night hours that allowed me the time to complete the
writing ofthis book. Thank you, Elizabeth, forcontinually reminding me I
needed to finish what I had started. She has been a loving wife and a beautiful
mother to my children: Donny, Nick, and Sarah. I am truly blessed.
The more I learn ofhow intricate ourbodies are, the more I appreciate our
divine design. This is not an accident. Our own bodies are our best defense
against disease, especially when they are properly nourished. I must acknowl-
edge His working in my life and His guidance in the writing ofthis book. We are
marvelously and wonderfully made.
