In Gifts from a Guide, there is an abundance of good advice to absorb. Life-affirming health tips for both body and soul and gathered in a handy book. Perfect as a reference book and equipped with a recommended reading list. After 105 easy-to-read pages in 20 chapters, I finished Gifts from a Guide very eager to try several of them. I warmly recommend this book, as well as the author's Return to Freedom: Breaking the Bonds of Chemical Sensitivities and Lyme Disease.
