I have another story about Regina but it’s not so much Dr Peat it’s more with what Western Botanical has done for her.

Well if you’d be happy to share that, that would be great. And I can put in how Dr Peat helped me with helping her.

But she changed her diet at your recommendations and from your consulting with Dr Peat. She did the testing for thyroid levels and you guys gave her really good advice. And she is the on ...

But but nobody knew Dr Peat! I mean, you couldn’t find anything. If you Googled Dr Peat you wouldn’t find a thing.

So, as I said, back in 2008 when we first came into contact with Dr Peat it was through a breast cancer survivor whose daughter had gotten diagnosed with breast cancer. And ...

... good for you. We were taught sugar was bad for you. Salt was bad for you. And all these things that he just exploded as completely untrue.

... I was about 30, and I was a vegan at the time and freezing and had low thyroid and everything, and Ray just set me straight and told me pretty much everything I was eating was not working.

And then about seven years Around 2016. ago I had major health issues and Ray saved my life!

And something that Ray did which I haven’t ever shared with anyone, is he actually worked with my doctor.

Oh, she was amazing. She actually heard about Ray from several of her patients. And at one point she said “I defer to him.” She said “because he know ...

You know, which was pretty vulnerable, but it was so loving of Ray to do that, and so vulnerable. And, you know, I’ve often thought about that, and about just the lov ...

Cos I think I said to him, I said “is there anything you don’t know Dr Peat?” and he said “well, I don’t understand why cats purr.”

And he also said “I don’t understand why we yawn.”

Well, the biggest thing that Ray helped me with was sugar.
