Eczema is a term that refers to an atopic form of dermatitis. It's geneneral symptom is an inflammation of the skin. It produces a scaling, flaking, thickening, weeping, crusting, color changing, and often itching of the skin.


We will discuss in this workshop:

-What causes Eczema?
Allergies, Deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids, Candida, Toxemia, Stress,
Low Stomach Acid

-What will help cure Eczema?

-What will help relieve the symptoms of Eczema?

Although, I am not a doctor I have researched this condition in detail. To cure Eczema means doing your own detective work to discover its cause. I suffered from an extreme case of Eczema due to a deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids. For many years, I have been completely cured of Eczema, and have a tremendous amount of information to share with you on this subject.

My recovery from chronic yeast infections, bloating, gas, chronic constipation, lack of mental clarity, and acne over 20 years ago began with a change to a healthier diet and proper cleansing methods. Creating a healthy balance in the body is key, and to achieve that balance means a change in the terrain of the body. I have done a lot of research on this topic, and my insight has helped many people find their way to better health. This discussion will cover a basic approach, to more advanced suggestions. Bring paper and a pen!

Topics Include:
Food Combining Principles
Foods To Avoid
Food To Eat
Pro-Biotics
Fermented Food
Colonics
Change your pH
Hydrogen Peroxide
MMS
Supplement
Parasites
Allergies
Support your Immune System
Bring more Oxygen into the Bloodstream

All the best,
Donna Perrone

With Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, I'm co-author of a new book titled Becoming Raw: The Essential Guide to Raw Vegan Diets. My contribution to the book was to write a concise history of the rawfood movement in America from the early 19th century to the present. [It's the first narrative history of the rawfood movement in the US. ] To your meet-up group, I would be speaking about the leaders of the raw foods movement. The title of my talk is Return to the Edenic Diet: A History of the Raw Food Movement in America with emphasis on New York leaders. This movement,as I said, dates back to the early 19th century and includes such figures as: Sylvester Graham, Herbert Shellton, Arnold Ehret (author of The Mucusless Diet Healing System); Vera Richter (founder of the first raw food restaurant in the U.S. and author of the first raw food un-cookbook); Gaylord Hauser (Hollywood Nutritionist); Norman Walker (inventor of the Norwalk Juicer); Paul and Patricia Bragg (inventors of Braggs Liquid Aminos); "Gypsy Boots" (founder of the Hollywood Health Hut); George and Doris Fathman (authors of Live Foods, the first vegan gourmet uncookbook); David Wolfe (author of Nature's First Law, etc.) Gabriel Cousens (author of Conscious Eating, and David Klein (publisher of Vibrance Magazine)., et al. . I will have copies of Becoming Raw and other of my books to sell to the attendees. Best regards,
Rynn

Brenda Cobb

Brenda Cobb founded the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, Georgia in September 1999 just seven months after she was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer. She refused the surgery and chemotherapy that her doctor recommended because she had seen her own family members and friends diagnosed with the same type of cancers try the traditional treatments and fail. Brenda set out on a journey to explore a natural way of healing and discovered Raw and Living Foods and Detoxification. Brenda began her healing journey in February 1999 and by September 1999 she was disease free. One of her medical doctors wrote the foreword to her first book praising her for the healing protocol that she developed to help herself and others. Many doctors send their patients to Brenda's Institute in Atlanta when other treatments have failed.

What began as the biggest challenge in Brenda's life turned into a wonderful gift to humanity. Since opening the Living Foods Institute Brenda has expanded her Healthy Lifestyle Course to help people heal on every level. She and her staff have trained thousands of people from all over the world with every type of disease from Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Candida, Arthritis, Allergies, Asthma, AIDS and Lupus to Multiple Sclerosis, Bell's Palsy, Depression, Migraine Headaches, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and many more chronic and acute illnesses . She has spoken to many thousands of people around the world about the benefits of the good nutrition and detoxification. In testimony after testimony people have found relief from symptoms and complete healing from serious diseases by following Brenda's Healthy Protocol.

To date she has written 9 books "The Living Foods Lifestyle®", "Colon Cleansing For Optimum Health" and "101 Raw and Living Food Recipes", "Get Started Now For Good Health" "The Living Foods Lifestyle® Training Manual", "Healing Fibroids, Endometriosis, Tumors and Cysts", "A Plan For Health", "Good Health Now" "Organic Raw and Living Food Recipes" and she has a CD on the benefits of Raw and Living Foods and a Healthy Lifestyle. She has hosted her own radio show, Living Well on WGUN 1010AM in Atlanta, Georgia where she has helped listeners learn about the benefits of good Lifestyle Habits. Along with the incredible Raw and Living Food recipes that Brenda is known for, the Emotional Healing Workshops that are included as a part of her training programs are so powerful that people say, "This course surpassed my wildest expectations for healing body, mind, spirit, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself."

She is featured on the DVD "Healing Cancer From Inside Out" and the "Rave Diet" and is co-author of the newest book "The Raw Truth." She has appeared live on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX networks as well as many cable stations giving advice on healthy eating and living. She has been a speaker at national and international conferences, festivals and expos and sought after for many radio and television appearances. As the Key Note Speaker at numerous health and body, mind, spirit expos and the International European Vegetarian Congress she has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to take back their power and claim the perfect health they were created to have.

She was awarded an Honorary Cultural Doctorate in Therapeutic Philosophy from the World University in September 2003. She was awarded the Phoenix Award by the City of Atlanta and numerous awards from other organizations for her work. Even though Brenda never makes promises about what her program will do for an individual, many say they have been healed through this amazing and inspiring woman's work.

Brenda's mission to help "Heal the World One Person at a Time" is being fulfilled every day as the internationally acclaimed Living Foods Institute is now known around the world.

Accent on Wellness:'Achieve Hormone Balance Without Taking Hormones'


'How to Help Your Body
Achieve Hormone Balance
Without Taking Hormones'
with Dr. Viana Muller

http://www.DonnaPerrone.com

Many women feel between a "rock and a hard place" when it comes to finding safe and highly effective natural methods of achieving optimum hormone balance. These issues often start early in life in the teen years and doctors typically put teenage girls on birth control pills -even when they are not sexually active-to help with agonizingly painful periods. Other young women have difficulty in establishing a regular monthly menstrual cycle and again are often given birth control pills to create an artifical monthly period.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) which may start in perimenopause-or before-- plagues other women and can make the second half of her menstrual cycle a misery every month. Menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, irregular sleep, urinary frequency, and heart palpitations - among others are still treated at some risk for future health issues primarily by hormones, bioidentical or otherwise. Other women who want to go "natural" end up with either progesterone cream or herbal phytoestrogens-which offer a mild natural form of estrogen replacement.

An alarming number of women begin to have hypothyroid problems during perimenopause—or sooner; they begin thyroid replacement hormone but still suffer from lack of energy, weight gain, hair loss and depression.

All of these methods of treatments have tremendous downsides. Dr. Viana Muller, anthropologist and co-founder of Whole World Botanicals, has spent the last 15 years helping women achieve highly effective and natural hormone balance for all of the conditions mentioned above-plus others-using Peruvian food-based botanicals. She will share with us the research of why and how they work and the results of studies conducted in Peruvian Universities on them, as well as speak from her own vast experience of helping women to use these botanicals effectively for their hormone balance issues.


Bio:

Dr. Viana Muller, Ph.D. is an anthropologist who studies South American herbs and works with native peoples who grow and collect them. She is a co-founder of Whole World Botanicals, a company based on fair trade principles with a strong social mission, which offers organic and sustainably wildcrafted products.

Viana was born in Chile of a Chilean father and American mother but raised in the U.S., has had three careers in her lifetime. The first one was working with inner-city teenagers and young adults in remedial education programs. The second was as a college teacher (anthropology, Latin American Studies and Women's Studies), administrator, and researcher. She had done field work in Mexico, Ghana and Peru. Her latest career, the co-founder of Whole World Botanicals, is the fulfillment of a dream she didn't know she had until she was over 50. It was born in the early 1990's "accidentally" after a serious illness, while she focused on her own healing which plunged her into the new field of scientific herbalism. The idea of forming an herbal company began to jell while she was doing field research in Peru as an Associate with the Institute for Botanical Exploration. But it was her discovery of Maca Root, the virtually unknown botanical outside of a tiny area in the Central Sierra of Peru, which turned a possibility into an imperative. It had an almost miraculous effect not only on her menopausal symptoms but brought her from a devitalized condition of health into a state of resilient energy and buoyant mood. Knowing that women in the U.S. were largely confined to two choices - either Hormone Replacement Therapy which presented certain risks or phtyoestrogenic botanicals which were largely ineffective, Viana decided to make what she called a "menopause revolution." Whole World Botanicals became the first company to educate the U.S. public on the use of maca for women's hormonal balance, and Royal Maca® became the first certified organic maca product anywhere in the world.

Since the founding of Whole World Botanicals and acting as its President, Viana has appeared on many radio and cable TV programs, and has given lectures to professional holistic medical groups and to people interested in alternative medicine throughout the U.S.

"This irresistible feeling comes over you and holds on tight and won't let go!"
"What is it? "
"It's a Craving!"
The most common reason why people have difficulty with going 'raw' or just
plain sticking with a healthy diet is those nasty food cravings..


In this workshop/discussion group we will discuss:

-the reasons for cooked food dependency
-tips on how to increase the amount of raw food in your diet
-the ingredients needed to cope in those challenging moments
-an understanding of what is needed to succeed


This discussion will include an understanding of the physical, psychological and spiritual aspects to better health.

Much of the background material used for this workshop comes from my own experience, my many years working with people in the health community, my knowledge and experience an a Colon Hydro-therapist and from the book '12 Steps to Raw Foods,' by Victoria Boutenko.

Accent on Wellness began 15 years ago as the 'Coalition of Health Reeducation' with Matthew Grace and Edward Leib. Accent on Wellness had a tv show on public access tv in the early years. In 1996, I began participating as a volunteer group leader facilitating raw food support group meetings. Later, I began hosting guest educators, organizing raw food potlucks and teaching workshops on raw food transition and detoxification. After the first few years, the group would have ceased existence, and at that time I took on leading the group myself with Tom Coviello. Tom was a great group leader and dear friend of mine for many years. May he rest in peace.

It all started at the Community Center on West 13th Street, then Planet Health in the East Village, and onto Caravan of Dreams Restaurant and finally found a home at Bonobo's Restaurant and at Gravity East Village. Also, our potlucks at Dharma Yoga Center.

We have had many volunteers over the years that have lead the group and helped facilitate events. I lend my deepest appreciation to all those who have given so much to the community over the years. Special thanks to Bobbie Flowers, Gil Jacobs, Cheryl Lynn, David Giardina, and Karen Ranzi. Thank you to the very wonderful David Norman, owner of Bonobo's restaurant and to Angel Moreno of Caravan of Dreams, and to Eva and Dharma of Dharma Yoga Center for providing a place for us to meet for so many years. And more recently, volunteers, Debbie Gordon, Tony Klatt and Tony White.

There have been many terrific educators that have taught classes for very small amounts of money that have given so much wisdom and guidance to the community. Their contribution has had a lasting change and effect on so many people. Thank you all.

Accent on Wellness started for me as a way for me to give back what a mostly raw food/vegan lifestyle has given to me. My life changed for the greater good in so many ways 21 years ago. I have gained greater health, energy, clarity of mind, a cleaner body and youthfulness. My passion to keep this group going over all these years has been to inspire you to live a healthy life and to find what best suits you to achieve that goal. In addition, I care very much that your journey towards this lifestyle is a safe one. That your transition toward raw food can be a healthy journey toward greater wellness when done correctly.

When I began volunteering 15 years ago I had no idea how Accent on Wellness would become a great blessing in my life. When I became a Colon Hydro-therapist 5 years ago I was very blessed that many of you have become my clients! You have supported my success with opening my wellness center, Gravity East Village over 3 years ago. My deepest gratitude is felt!

There is so much to look forward to in the future for Accent on Wellness. I hope to use our treasury funds to setup and maintain our classes online so the community will have the option to watch our events remotely. I plan to create audio downloads of many of the workshops that are offered. All donations are appreciated so I can get the job done.

I appreciate all of you in the Accent on Wellness community as you have always inspired me in so many ways! I have grown from this great experience and have learned so much from all of you throughout the years.

Warm regards,
Donna Perrone

My recovery from chronic yeast infections, bloating, gas, chronic constipation, lack of mental clarity, and acne over 20 years ago began with a change to a healthier diet and proper cleansing methods. Creating a healthy balance in the body is key, and to achieve that balance means a change in the terrain of the body. I have done a lot of research on this topic, and my insight has helped many people find their way to better health. This discussion will cover a basic approach, to more advanced suggestions. Bring paper and a pen!

Topics Include:
Food Combining Principles
Foods To Avoid
Food To Eat
Pro-Biotics
Fermented Food
Colonics
Change your pH
Hydrogen Peroxide
MMS
Supplement
Parasites
Allergies
Support your Immune System
Bring more Oxygen into the Bloodstream

All the best,

BIO ------------

Ani is on a mission to show you how easy it is to enjoy healthy, organic, whole foods that are delicious, simple, and fast to prepare. Using seasonal, local, organic, fresh produce coupled with nuts and seeds, Ani creates tantalizing recipes that taste amazing, are good for you, and healthy for our planet. She teaches us why eating more organic, fresh, whole foods helps us maintain our ideal weight, lowers cholesterol, boosts our immune system, and helps us look and feel our best.

Ani learned these principles as a child. Growing up in upstate New York, her family had their own organic farm. She was raised on fresh, green juices and seasonal produce which cultivated the relationship she maintains with food today. She spent many years in the catering business and stumbled upon raw foods as a gourmet treat. After realizing the impact on her mental clarity and focus, she was hooked. She continued to notice positive changes in her energy level, productivity and sleep, and recognized there was more to raw foods than meets the eye. She's been dedicated to the raw foods lifestyle ever since.

Ani's the author of "Ani's Raw Food Desserts" and "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen," awarded "Best Vegetarian Cookbook USA 2007." Her next book, "Ani's Raw Food Essentials" will be available June 1, 2010. Ani has received four Best of Raw 2008 Awards for Best Chef, Favorite Cookbook, Favorite Educator, and won Sexiest Raw Vegan Woman in both 2008 and 2009.

Ani is the host of "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen Show", the award winning #1 uncooking show on 'YouTube.' Ani has been seen on the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods, Channel 7 ABC, and has been featured in numerous magazines including Food & Wine, Alternative Medicine, Oxygen, VegNews, Delicious Living, Vegetarian Times, and Get Fresh.

Additionally, Ani has developed living food vegan menus for Carnival Cruise Lines, Adidas headquarters, STOMP, and Whole Foods Markets, amongst others. Adidas fitness center depends on Ani to consult their athletes on how to 'fuel up' with raw nutrition for optimal performance.

Being an athlete herself and excelling in gymnastics and track and field in high school, Ani has a thorough knowledge of nutrition and understands the importance of fueling your body well in order to achieve maximum performance.

Her charity work includes teaching and speaking at events to help raise money and awareness for organizations like In Defense of Animals, Animal Acres, Farm Sanctuary and organizing cooking play shops for children ages 5-16. In addition, Ani volunteers at Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization providing 1,300 free meals per week to HIV and cancer patients, and teaches underprivileged kids how to garden and make food in urban areas at Community Services Unlimited in South Central LA.

Ani lives in Los Angeles with her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, who she rescued nine years ago. Fifty pounds underweight at the time, Ani healed Kanga back to health with raw foods, applying the same principles that she uses for humans to her dog. She is currently working on her next book along with planning projects for TV, DVD, and Web.

Bio:
About Dr. Craig B. Sommers

Craig Sommers was living the standard American lifestyle, eating the standard American diet (SAD), until the early 1990's when his mother was diagnosed with cancer and then heart disease. While visiting his mother in the hospital, after one in a series of unsuccessful surgeries, a mysterious stranger entered her hospital room. He handed Mrs. Sommers his business card and suggested that she give him a call if she was interested in learning how to heal herself through diet and lifestyle changes. Neither Craig nor his mother ever heard from that man again, but Craig was so inspired by his suggestion that he began to seek out information on Natural Healing. Since that day in the hospital, Dr. Sommers has single mindedly pursued knowledge of holistic healing, nutrition, and lifestyle. He first learned enough to help his mother reverse heart disease and then began to peruse natural health for himself and others. He opened a health food store on Long Island and when that became too stressful, he sold the store and pursued a doctorate in naturopathy. Dr. Sommers now travels the globe giving lectures on how to achieve optimum health through proper nutrition and lifestyle habits. He is also a certified yoga instructor, certified nutritionist and the author of Raw Foods Bible, a comprehensive easy to read guide to the optimum diet and lifestyle. Craig's website is http://www.rawfoodsbible.com.

'Ultimate Gallbladder & Liver Flush'

Just about everyone has gallstones. They are formed in the liver and are found also in the gallbladder and the connecting ducts. When doing a gallbladder/liver flush you can pass hundreds of green and beige colored gallstones. Gallstones are primarily made of cholesterol as the main ingredient (95%), bile, and calcium salts. They are congealed clumps of bile that are invisible to any x-ray or ultra sound technology. An ultra-sound will detect a fatty liver when the cholesterol based stones are blocking the liver and ducts and will show a completely white picture instead of black. A fatty liver can accumulate 20,000 stones before it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function.

Gallstones are a contributing factor to most diseases. Any obstruction in the body will cause stress and toxicity and will be a major reason why people become ill and have difficulty recovering from disease.

By doing a gallbladder flush you will take steps to restore your liver. You will improve your health, vitality, energy, and youthfulness. A cleaner liver brings a new lease on life. By decongesting the liver and gallbladder the body's 60-100 trillion cells will breathe more oxygen, receive sufficient amounts of nutrients, eliminate metabolic waste products, and maintain perfect communication links with nervous system, endocrine system,
and every part of the body.

There are two methods of doing a gallbladder flush that we will discuss. You will decide which method best suits you. There is a 4 Day or 6 Day 'Preparation' to choose from. We will cover step by step instructions and you will receive a handout information package. I will be available to take your phone call if you have any questions during your process at no additional charge.

Ever wonder what the opposite of the film "Super Size Me" would be like? With a tip of the headdress to Morgan Spurlock of "Super Size Me," Jenna Norwood takes us on her journey to see what happens when she enrolls in a raw food detox center and consumes only organic, raw, enzyme-rich foods for 30 days. It's all in an effort to fit into a Las Vegas showgirl costume for Halloween, but the experience has some surprising results. Meet experts (David Wolfe), celebrities (Ben Vereen & Kathy Sledge) and others seeking to resolve serious health issues on a raw food diet. Takes the mystery out of colon hydrotherapy, too. An entertaining, educational and inspiring documentary. A detoxifying experience! Unofficial PG rating, according to MPAA guidelines.

Kathleen is a Clinical Aromatherapy & Healing Hands Practitioner. She has been using Young Living Essential Oils since 1999. When major healing health changes began to happen in her life from using Young Living Essential Oils, it became her life's passion to share these oils with others.

In this class you will learn:

Why all essential oils are NOT created equal and why it is important for you to know the difference.

How to safely and effectively use essential oils by incorporating best practices from the British Model, the French Model and the German Models.

How to incorporate essential oils into your life on a daily basis by answering the most common questions-"How do I know which oil to use?" and "What can I use oils for?"

Both participate in and learn how to perform a "Heart, Mind, Body, Spirit Balancing Protocol" using essential oils.

Bring your sense of smell and begin with the first drop.

Accent on Wellness- Live-Blood Cell Analysis

Tonia Hugus

@ Madison Avenue
No Reservations Accepted
Please arrive early to reserve your seat

Fee: $15 Cash
http://www.DonnaPerrone.com

This talk will discuss Darkfield Microscopy only.

A teacher, humorist, lecturer, culinary artist, author and international consultant, Tonia Hugus has been a popular speaker throughout the East Coast. A dietary consultant in the Eastern tradition, she was a student of Michio Kushi for 14 years, also helping to establish the Kushi Institute.

Tonia is a Board Certified Darkfield Microscopist.She has completed intensive study with the American Institute of Certified Microscopists. Using a microscope with a darkfield condenser, Tonia can study a droplet of blood and zero in on a client's nutritional deficiencies. Too often people are stuck in a "kitchen sink" approach to supplementation, taking as many as 20 to 30 different supplements. To their great frustration, they remain trapped in a state of chronic sub-optimal health. By looking directly at their blood, Tonia using darkfield microscopy can solve this nutritional dilemma. Nutritional imbalances unique to each individual client's needs are then balanced with dietary changes, minerals, food enzymes and superfood supplementation targeted to their personal needs.

As a client of darkfield blood analysis you will be able to see first hand your nutritional profile by viewing a monitor as we examine your blood. Potential problems are often identifiable in their "infancy" stage, much earlier than using standard blood tests.

Tonia Hugus has been a
pioneer in the whole foods
movement for four decades.

My recovery from chronic yeast infections, bloating, gas, chronic constipation, lack of mental clarity, and acne over 20 years ago began with a change to a healthier diet and proper cleansing methods. Creating a healthy balance in the body is key, and to achieve that balance means a change in the terrain of the body. I have done a lot of research on this topic, and my insight has helped many people find their way to better health. This discussion will cover a basic approach, to more advanced suggestions. Bring paper and a pen!

Topics Include:
Food Combining Principles
Foods To Avoid
Food To Eat
Pro-Biotics
Fermented Food
Colonics
Change your pH
Hydrogen Peroxide
MMS
Supplement
Parasites
Allergies
Support your Immune System
Bring more Oxygen into the Bloodstream

All the best,

In this informative and transformational evening, Karen will guide you on the path to creating happier and healthier children, confident of their disease-free future.

Parents attending her classes have been able to see their children recover from numerous childhood illnesses. You will learn the importance of obtaining the best possible nourishment for your family, and how to implement healthy choices successfully during pregnancy and raising children.

Brenda Cobb

Brenda Cobb founded the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, Georgia in September 1999 just seven months after she was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer. She refused the surgery and chemotherapy that her doctor recommended because she had seen her own family members and friends diagnosed with the same type of cancers try the traditional treatments and fail. Brenda set out on a journey to explore a natural way of healing and discovered Raw and Living Foods and Detoxification. Brenda began her healing journey in February 1999 and by September 1999 she was disease free. One of her medical doctors wrote the foreword to her first book praising her for the healing protocol that she developed to help herself and others. Many doctors send their patients to Brenda's Institute in Atlanta when other treatments have failed.

What began as the biggest challenge in Brenda's life turned into a wonderful gift to humanity. Since opening the Living Foods Institute Brenda has expanded her Healthy Lifestyle Course to help people heal on every level. She and her staff have trained thousands of people from all over the world with every type of disease from Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Candida, Arthritis, Allergies, Asthma, AIDS and Lupus to Multiple Sclerosis, Bell's Palsy, Depression, Migraine Headaches, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and many more chronic and acute illnesses . She has spoken to many thousands of people around the world about the benefits of the good nutrition and detoxification. In testimony after testimony people have found relief from symptoms and complete healing from serious diseases by following Brenda's Healthy Protocol.

To date she has written 9 books "The Living Foods Lifestyle®", "Colon Cleansing For Optimum Health" and "101 Raw and Living Food Recipes", "Get Started Now For Good Health" "The Living Foods Lifestyle® Training Manual", "Healing Fibroids, Endometriosis, Tumors and Cysts", "A Plan For Health", "Good Health Now" "Organic Raw and Living Food Recipes" and she has a CD on the benefits of Raw and Living Foods and a Healthy Lifestyle. She has hosted her own radio show, Living Well on WGUN 1010AM in Atlanta, Georgia where she has helped listeners learn about the benefits of good Lifestyle Habits. Along with the incredible Raw and Living Food recipes that Brenda is known for, the Emotional Healing Workshops that are included as a part of her training programs are so powerful that people say, "This course surpassed my wildest expectations for healing body, mind, spirit, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself."

She is featured on the DVD "Healing Cancer From Inside Out" and the "Rave Diet" and is co-author of the newest book "The Raw Truth." She has appeared live on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX networks as well as many cable stations giving advice on healthy eating and living. She has been a speaker at national and international conferences, festivals and expos and sought after for many radio and television appearances. As the Key Note Speaker at numerous health and body, mind, spirit expos and the International European Vegetarian Congress she has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to take back their power and claim the perfect health they were created to have.

She was awarded an Honorary Cultural Doctorate in Therapeutic Philosophy from the World University in September 2003. She was awarded the Phoenix Award by the City of Atlanta and numerous awards from other organizations for her work. Even though Brenda never makes promises about what her program will do for an individual, many say they have been healed through this amazing and inspiring woman's work.

Just about everyone has gallstones. They are formed in the liver and are found also in the gallbladder and the connecting ducts. When doing a gallbladder/liver flush you can pass hundreds of green and beige colored gallstones. Gallstones are primarily made of cholesterol as the main ingredient (95%), bile, and calcium salts. They are congealed clumps of bile that are invisible to any x-ray or ultra sound technology. An ultra-sound will detect a fatty liver when the cholesterol based stones are blocking the liver and ducts and will show a completely white picture instead of black. A fatty liver can accumulate 20,000 stones before it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function.

Gallstones are a contributing factor to most diseases. Any obstruction in the body will cause stress and toxicity and will be a major reason why people become ill and have difficulty recovering from disease.

By doing a gallbladder flush you will take steps to restore your liver. You will improve your health, vitality, energy, and youthfulness. A cleaner liver brings a new lease on life. By decongesting the liver and gallbladder the body's 60-100 trillion cells will breathe more oxygen, receive sufficient amounts of nutrients, eliminate metabolic waste products, and maintain perfect communication links with nervous system, endocrine system,
and every part of the body.

There are two methods of doing a gallbladder flush that we will discuss. You will decide which method best suits you. There is a 4 Day or 6 Day 'Preparation' to choose from. We will cover step by step instructions and you will receive a handout information package. I will be available to take your phone call if you have any questions during your process at no additional charge.


Best,
Donna Perrone
