Does anyone follow her or have read any of her books? She touts natural remedies for health issues.

She has written several books, and I thought about purchasing one...just asking if anyone is familiar with her and which book you recommend, thanks.

@Mom2Dogs I know this doesn't answer your question, as I have not read any of her books or watched any of her videos, but if no one responds here, there are lots of reviews of her books on Amazon and several on Goodreads.

Health remedies...the natural route vs medicine. I don't doubt modern medicine but it does not hurt to read up on other ways to improve your health.

I am not familiar with this author. I would however like to share a couple of books that I read years ago. I still live by some of the things I learned and revisit them often. Easy to read, recipes and great tips to help you stay healthy.

Gorgeously Green Diet and Gorgeously Green:8 Simple Steps by Sophia Uliano

Available on Amazon.

I have been watching some of her videos however there are several in comments that say some of the videos are AI generated but the still seem to be helpful as to what to eat.

I like her and she has a no nonsense approach to healthy eating. I haven't read any of her books though.

I also came across someone new to me on YouTube. She's an Asian doctor living in CA who has a lot of very interesting videos about healthy eating with a lot of topics.

I only just started to watch so I'm not sure of her name but the name of her channel is "Healthy Immune Doc"

I haven't read anything from her, do catch her videos/reels on occasion.

I read where she was banned in her native Australia for her claiming that some natural ingredients could cure cancer and other serious diseases.

But from the videos on Instagram and Pinterest, I haven't seen her say anything radical. She lives here now, in America and of course, we can say anything with the consequences falling on us, as in our creditability being challenged and whatnot but not being bought down by the government. But her getting banned is something to consider I suppose.

It depends for me. But natural remedies are my first route and then I'll move on to what the Doctor recommended if the natural remedies aren't helping.

@Northray Years ago she used to get migraines and I had to send her something to take as it wasn't allowed in Australia.

I have not read any of her books but I have watched many many of her utube videos in which she lectures on various topics. I like her. I think she's knowledgeable about her subject matter and she's a good teacher.

As far as cures, it is said the body will heal itself if given the proper diet, clean air, clean water, activity, and good community. Why Americans are SO sick, including the children, is really cause for alarm. At my age I'm losing my friends and family every year. They've had medical treatments that cost a fortune, and it hasn't done them any good. Prolonged their suffering is about it.

Right now my neighbor is very ill with pancreatic cancer. He's going for chemo and he is quickly going downhill. I feel so bad about him. He always used to be outside working around his property, walking his dog, talking with neighbors. I've also lost my best friend and my last family member the past year or two. Reading books is a good thing. You never know what you might read that will strike a chord and help you out someday. Not sure if her books would be in your local library.

Sorry @proudlyfromNJ, I hadn't come back to check this forum and just saw your post. Yes, it sounds like Australia is very strict with medicines and what can and cannot be said about medical conditions and cures.
