I received a wonderful phone call a couple of days ago informing me that The No-Grain Diet is the New York Times' #5 Bestseller, which will appear in their bestseller lists the week of May 11, 2003.

It has been receiving rave reviews on TV, in radio and in print - check out a few at Amazon.com - but I know that the main reason it hit this prestigious list is because of all of you... your recommendations of The No-Grain Diet and my free health newsletter, and beyond that, your support in the vision that has driven everything I do: to change the medical paradigm from one focused on drugs, surgeries and other band-aids to one focused on prevention and real solutions, so everyone can truly and permanently optimize their health and weight and live longer, fuller lives.

So first of all, thank you.

Second, let me confirm for you that, to achieve my vision, this is just the beginning.

As readers and reviewers are saying, The No-Grain Diet can make a very positive improvement to every person's health, and so my hope is for it to reach millions. But as I've stated before, I am not seeking to grow rich off this book and abandon anything - on the contrary, just as I self-funded this site from the start, I will pour any profits from this book right back into expanding the vision to change the medical paradigm. That means expanding this website to offer you even greater health insight and opportunities, and much more.

So once again, thanks to all of you. I am certain you'll find The No-Grain Diet an essential guide on your personal journey to health and wellness, and as readers keep discovering this and recommending it -- and my free health newsletter -- to others, more and more people will be empowered to wrest their health and lives away from the drug companies and other giants in the current medical establishment and take control to truly fight and prevent disease & weight issues, and live longer and better.

On this end, you have my word that my team and I will keep pushing to give you the tools to achieve this "independent health," and we'll keep pushing to change the medical paradigm as a whole.
