I believe Shelley and I have outlined specific spiritual truths in The pH Miracle for Weight Loss that can and will determine the quality and the quantity of your life and set you truly free to live with faith, hope, joy, happiness, love, energy, and passion—free from excess weight, sickness, and disease. We have not completed this work alone or in isolation but with the help of many others who have contributed time and talents in making The pH Miracle for Weight Loss a reality.
First and foremost we give thanks and gratitude to a loving Heavenly Father who has blessed Shelley and me with further light and knowledge of spiritual principles or truths to share with our family, friends, and other brothers and sisters of the world to improve the quality and quantity of each individual life on this planet, including all animals and plant life.
To our incredible children, Adam, Ashley, Andrew, and Alex, we give thanks, gratitude, and love for always being supportive in our endeavors of service to others while sacrificing time away from home and from them.
Once again, we must give thanks and gratitude for the life and work of the greatest scientist of the nineteenth century, Antoine Bechamp, and the truths he shared with the world in his final book, The Blood: The Third Anatomical Element. His life and work have been a refreshing confirmation that Shelley and I are on the path of truth and light, which leads to the tree of life that has been shown to improve the quality and quantity of life for thousands of folks worldwide.
Our thanks and gratitude to our great, great grandfather, Brigham Young, who taught us the nature of matter from his own words more than one hundred years ago when he said, “Matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed, it can only be organized or disorganized.” With this foundational understanding of matter I was able to view and then document the biological transformation of matter from one form to another form, such as a red blood cell biologically transforming into a bacterial or yeast cell or vice versa.
To our publisher, Warner Books, and especially our editor there, Diana Baroni: our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for having the faith and courage in Shelley and me to publish not just another book on weight loss but the foundational, temporal, and spiritual truths of healthy and long-lasting weight loss free of all sickness and disease.
Our thanks also to our editor Colleen Kapklein, who continues to carefully and thoughtfully weave our words into a beautiful manuscript so that anyone can understand and implement these principles in their daily lives.
To our agents, Richard Hill and Greg Link, we express our thanks for their confidence in and commitment to getting our message out there in the world so that all our brothers and sisters may enjoy the benefits of pH Miracle Living.
To our good and faithful friend and fellow servant Glen Ezekiel, who has always been there to help in all ways—we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We express our gratitude and thanks to Jason Moore and Corrine Brandi, who have assisted us in compiling some of the most compelling blood research contained in this book, helping us document the reality of biological transformation and the way life and death begins and ends in the blood with the primary cell, the erythrocyte. In the words of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, “Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.” We are eternally grateful for your selfless service and commitment to Shelley and me and your fellow inhabitants around the world seeking a better way of living, eating, and thinking.
To the thousands of overweight, underweight, sick, and tired folks worldwide and especially those individuals who demonstrated the faith, hope, courage, and commitment to apply the pH Miracle Living plan of health, energy, and fitness and to make the necessary lifestyle and dietary changes as presented in this book in order to bring about renewed health and energy, a return to a healthy ideal weight, and a renewed passion for life free of all sickness and disease—we are truly thankful. You are an inspiration and a motivation to all who will read your stories of patience, persistence, faith, hope, and commitment. Through your stories, and with the knowledge that no one needs to choose to be fat, sick, or tired, lives will be changed for the better and lives will be saved. You have taught us all that being sick, tired, and fat is a conscious choice, not a disease, just as incredible outstanding health, energy, and vitality is something you do, not something you get. Thank you for being shining examples of pH Miracle Living.
