About the Author: Karen Edwards has had a lifelong interest in cooking and became acquainted with natural methods of food preparation and the necessity for better nutrition through the La Leche League after the birth of her son. After developing several chronic health problems, she began to investigate non-traditional healing modalities. In order to gain a more thorough knowledge of natural healing and lifestyle modification, she enrolled in a doctoral program at Clayton College of Natural Health. Because of her intense interest in natural healing, she overcame the chronic health problems that had been affecting her. Upon completion and acceptance of her doctoral dissertation, "Reversing Periodontal Disease," she received her PhD in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health. She has served as a volunteer in a cooperative health food store, operated her own nutritional supplement store, and presented talks to various groups about healthy cooking methods and lifestyle changes. She currently resides with her husband and son in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
