THE WHOLE HEALTH LIFE
Being healthy in this crazy, busy, modern world is not easy. For Shannon Harvey, finding a solution to this problem became personal when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that had no known cause and no known cure.
This inspired a ten-year journey, where she spent more than $30,000 on conventional and alternative treatments, searched through thousands of scientific papers, and traveled the world to interview dozens of pioneering health researchers. She has now compiled the latest evidence and her personal experiences into one book to help you find the answers to good health.
