"A few years ago I attended a week-long workshop with Donna Gates. It was an eye-opening experience as she shared simple but powerful principles for attaining and maintaining a super healthy body. One of the most important things in the workshop was that Donna fed us breakfast and lunch. We were able to taste and experience how delicious the fermented foods were. Everyone enjoyed her way of cooking and delighted to take her recipes and probiotic nutrition home with them. I have been a follower ever since and at 84 am enjoying vibrant health." - Louise Hay, the New York Times best-selling author of You Can Heal Your Life "Body Ecology emphasizes the importance of what we put into our bodies and teaches a way of eating that makes me feel like I am in control of my health and in tune with my body's intuitive needs. Cultured vegetables and coconut kefir have become essentials, not only in my home, but whenever I travel." - Jessica Biel, actress "No one has ever put together all that we need to know about recovering and enhancing immunity-until now. I am making it 'must reading' for all my patients with candidiasis, immune disorders, and food allergies." - Keith W.
