VEGdaily — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:34:02 +0000

More than 20 years ago, I lived in an odd little shared house in Oakland, and one of the other renters was a guy named John, from one of the Caribbean islands. Sad to say, I can’t recall which island (possibly Barbados?), but I do remember that he moonlighted in a steel drum band, and we would often cook simple dinners together and hang out in his room watching Golden State Warriors games.

VEGdaily — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:09:28 +0000

One thing I know is true is that many of the women I work with notice that their families join in the program with them – offering support, adding energy to the process, and reaping the benefits of healthier choices too. Several detox-members have told me it was like getting 2 programs for the price of 1!
