Summary

Part lifestyle, part cookbook, Living Beyond Organic teaches the reader what to eat, how best to prepare it, and why. Based on the ancient healing art of Raphaology Medicine which involves the study of phyto-nutrients (plant medicine), LBO provides the reader with true nutritional understanding and knowledge of how to eat to both regain and maintain optimum health. With its 21 day menu and recipes, along with a list of what to have in your kitchen and what to remove, the book makes the transition to the Living Beyond Organic Lifestyle exceedingly simple. The interweaving of the author's own family's story adds an effective personal element to the book. This is the first in a series of Living Beyond Organic books.
