DEDICATION
To Rob, my most precious gift from God, who nearly starved
to death while discovering that he hates macrobiotic food.
Eighteen years ago when we were bride and groom, little did
I suspect that a love so strong could grow even more
wonderful through the years. Nor did I ever dream that in
addition to this indescribable blessing, my groom would
continually nourish and groom me into all that I was capable
of being.
And to our staff, in particular Barbara Mulvana, Shirley
Gallinger, Carol Fenton, and Frank Mulvana, who over many
years, through computer crashes and hectic days have
worked diligently to help patients learn and grow along with
us in our quest for health.
DISCLAIMER
This work is a guide for people who are working in concert
with a certified health professional. It is in no way meant to
be a prescription for anyone attempting to heal themselves
without medical monitoring and guidance.
FOREWORD
WHAT OTHER PHYSICIANS AND BIOCHEMISTS
HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK
In this book, Dr. Rogers discusses many aspects of what some
doctors now recognize as “environmental illness”, called
“E.I.” for short. Many strictly orthodox medical practitioners
are skeptical of the existence of E.l.; indeed a few are
downright antagonistic toward this classification of illness.
As a biochemist, I speak from a rather unique vantage point.
For ten years I have operated a consulting organization for
medical practices nationwide. We have had the opportunity
to do detailed studies of individuals who present particularly
severe intolerances to foods, environmental chemicals,
inhalant allergens and other substances. My colleagues and I
have extensive files of very orthodox, very authoritative
clinical laboratory results on measurements such as: enzyme
activities in blood cells, plasma and urine levels of amino
acids and fatty acids, vitamin and mineral levels in different
tissues and body fluids, immune profiles, standard blood
chemistry profiles, results of cultures of foreign flora,
gastrointestinal work-ups, blood screens for foreign chemicals
(pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, petroleum solvents), etc.
WE have studied and consulted on over 2300 individuals who
have had such extensive biochemical work-ups. Some of
these work-ups are for various degenerative diseases, some
are for genetic illnesses, some are for behavioral or
developmental disabilities, and many are for people who can
be classed as presenting E.I. In summary, we have hard
laboratory data, comparisons with normal levels, documented
symptoms observed and all reported by many doctors
throughout the world (over 150). Therefore, we have an
