    • Ashley S.: Hello, I’m considering a few things; fasting, a juice fast or something. I’m nursing my daughter, so that complicates things… but I’m nearly always nursing or with child so waiting isn’t much of an option. I’m thinking one-two days of juice/oils/etc,...

    • Allayna: I’m fairly certain that there are generic forms that you can purchase - I saw 100 pills today for about $35.00 - I’m not certain of the other brand I saw but the one I use is from Swiss Naturals. They do have a website and respond to questions. Is it the Safflower oil that...
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Allayna The supplement is excellent and will assist the body to heal. I will have to study it more. I would love to add it to the program here at the hospital but ……we work with the poorest of people so that may be a dream for a while.

    • Allayna: Apparently there have been studies done about CLA in Cancer patients and there is remarkable evidence of it’s cancer fighting properties. It also states that it helps stabilize glucose levels of more than 2/3 of diabetic test patients. I looked at the bottle and if it’s any...

Quote From the Books

Ok, I now know just how messed up I am. The chapters on the emotions and eating hit home. I am planning a fast but, I know that I need to rebuild and cleanse my mind of all the toxic thinking and emotions that make me want to hide in the pleasures of food. I feel alive for the first time in many years. Keep on going, Tom you have helped me more than my words can express. — Suzie Bilinere
