Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi Kelly, Please, forgive me, but I'm always just so eager to help people!!! I have metabolic nutritional answers for all of these heart related issues too. That includes the oral chelation I told you about. There is a local doctor in the Detroit area who first discovered this by treating first her own heart disease, then heart disease in alot of her family members, then in her patients. Her name is Dr. Liska Cooper, M.D. And like I've already said too, there are hundreds of other doctors who support the use of metabolic nutrition to prevent and reverse these heart health issues. So if I can help anyone with what I know, please again, tell them to email me for more detailed information.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi Renee, a lot has been going on with me here. I forget what illness you had that you were able to naturally eliminate. I think I was wondering if you could give tips about this to the group. ) Thanks for writing in. I love talking about natural healing.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Yes, I promised to get you something written about the diet, metabolic nutrition and other nutritional things I did to battle the cancer that was supposed to have killed me 3 years ago. I hope to (and it's on my agenda) find time to do that today. Blessings, Renee --- " Kelly W. " <kellykebby wrote: > Hi Renee, a lot has been going on with me here.
