He has done thousands of knee surgeries! I just sat [...]

I was at my local natural health food store the other day, and the owner lent me a great movie to watch – Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days.  It shows the power of eating raw and will inspire everyone to add a little more ‘green’ to their diet! www.rawfor30days.com Simply Raw features six [...]
