Nancy is one of our recent Spring Cleaning Cleanse graduates who is obviously continuing to progress up the Health and Wellness paradigm ladder. See what you think of her Great Recipe. The only comment that I would make as a possible improvement, since I think that we can modify on one ingredient and create an even healthier mix would be to substitute olive oil for the Canola oil. That way you will improve on the oil type and get some Great Omega 9 fatty acids as well. I want to thank Nancy and our entire class of Cleanse Graduates, and encourage all of our past and present Cleansers to continue to make improvements every day. The right choices will enhance your overall Health and Wellness, and add years to you life and life to your years!
Yours in Health,
Dr. Pfeiffer
