A Woman’s Story of Perseverance
Georgina
has
dreamed
of
being
the
fourth
generation
in
her
family
to
practice
medicine
ever
since
she
was
a
little
girl.
Her
medical
school
experience
lasts
a
scant
two
years
before
she
gets
married
and
starts
a
family.
Putting
her
husband’s
and
family’s
needs
first,
Georgina
puts
her
dreams
on
hold
and
raises
three
children,
one
of
whom
is
plagued
by
a
mysterious
health
condition.
Georgina
loses
faith
in
the
medical
profession
when,
over
the
course
of
a
few
years,
none of the doctors help her daughter get well.
When
the
children
have
grown,
Georgina
struggles
with
the
decision
of
whether
to
return
to
medical
school.
In
the
end,
she
realizes
her
passions
lie
in
alternative
health,
which
is
what
had
solved
her
daughter’s
health
issues
years
ago.
She
moves
in
that
direction,
only
to
be
faced
with
one
obstacle
after
another.
Her
erstwhile
supportive
husband
becomes
resentful
of
the
time
and
money
she
needs
to
invest
in
pursuing
her
dream,
her
father
all
but
disowns
her,
and
she
struggles
to
find
her
niche
in
a
practice
that
is
fraught
with
suspicion
at
best
and
threatened by legal issues at worst.
Armed
with
a
firm
belief
in
alternative
health,
faith
that
she
is
responding
to
her
calling
in
life,
and
the
encouragement
of
a
few
supportive
people,
Georgina
strives
to
balance
family
and
career while becoming the healer of her childhood dreams
Learn
how
to
be
proactive
about
your
health
care
and
be
part
of
the
most
important shift in thinking of our time.
Why
do
so
many
people
suffer
with
nagging
health
issues?
Why
are
the
rates
of
serious
disease
climbing?
How
can
we
do
better
at
preventing
illness?
Why
are
there
conflicting
views
on
what
constitutes
a
“healthy”
diet?
These
questions
reflect
a
health
care
crisis
that
cannot
be
addressed
without
dramatic
change.
This
cutting-edge
book
offers
proven
solutions from holistic nutrition.
You
Can
Be
Well
has
a
message
of
hope:
You
have
the
capacity
to
be
well;
you
need
not
resign
yourself
to
living
in
ill
health.
But,
there
are
challenges.
Economic
and
political
systems
in
North
America
support
a
health
care
system
that
waits
until
you
are
sick
to
intervene,
an
approach
called
“sick-care”.
You
don’t
have
to
wait
until
you
are
sick
to
take
charge
of
your
health.
This
is
only
possible
using
the
holistic
approach
outlined
in
these
pages—one
based
on
healthy
diet,
exercise,
toxin-free
living,
and
becoming
emotionally
balanced.
Whether
you
currently
enjoy
good
health
or
already
suffer
a
health
condition,
you
will
discover
your
path
to wellness here.

It
is
the
best,
clearest
and
most
comprehensive
book
I
have
ever
read
on
holistic
health.” ~Edward D. H. Schroeder, RMT
