“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimension.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes

We “Mommies” are passionate about our nutrition.  We are passionate about finding out the truth.  What our bodies need to be healthy and happy!  We KNOW that our health and happiness are natural processes.  The things we put into our bodies play the biggest role in determining the quality and length of our lives.

Dr. Dean Ornish
Dr. John McDougall
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Jr.
Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Dr. Neal D. Barnard
T. Colin Campbell

These names might not mean anything to you…we like to refer to these men as some of our heroes.  If you haven’t heard of these Doctors, please look into their research studies. The collective work of these men is astonishing, and each of their findings is of the utmost importance.

BUT BECAUSE THEIR MESSAGES CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL THINKING AND POWERFUL COMMERCIAL INTERESTS...
                …their research rarely gets the recognition that it deserves.

As a result, people who follow their messages are looked at as “extreme”. (But that’s okay :)

More importantly, because this vital information is not getting recognized, people are being denied access to vital information- information that could save lives.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
Thomas A. Edison

We “mommies” have loved seeing this health-promoting research/information more and more!  It’s exciting!  We also have loved finding like-minded people.  People who do not follow the status quo.

People who know WE CAN DO BETTER!

Now to end with one of my favorite quotes:

"The science is there and it must be made known.  We cannot let the status quo go unchallenged and watch our loved ones suffer unnecessarily.  It is time to stand up, clear the air and take control of our health."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study

We love that we know how to take control of our health!  And more importantly- our children's health.

Please join us in our journey-

Life is Good!

• Dr. John McDougall has shown that in just 12 days the average patient in his program reduced their serum cholesterol by 62 mg/dl.
• Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Jr. documented the most successful cardiovascular reversal program on record.
