Roger's Note:
This is a handbook for healthy living. Dr. Gayle Olinekova, who is a Chiropractor who practices in Southern California (and a world class athlete, to boot), generously offers us an abundance of down to earth information about the natural joys and pitfalls of existing within a human body. She provides here intelligent, yet intelligible suggestions from "green medicine" for safeguarding and maintaining our body. In a very accessible manner, lightened with an occasional sprinkling of humor, she communicates her considerable knowledge about maintaining a high functioning body/mind/spirit system, from the inside out and the outside in.
