About the Author

A commitment that she made to her higher power as she was being rolled through the double doors of that surgery room was that in return for more time to get it right, her mission in life would be to find solutions for better health. Read more of her story and journey in About the Co-Author Vera Gilford at the back of the book. Her research and writing skills developed as Business Editor of the Texas Southern Law Review and as author of several published law review articles, plus years of blogging her insights and writing several published books, have all helped to develop her skill as a writer to compile and share this book.

Co-author, Nathaniel Johnson, is a health minister and nutrition researcher. At a very young age he experienced losing loved ones, including both parents, to heart attack, stroke and cancer. The void left him wondering how their deaths could have been avoided. The personal experiences of these two authors inspired them to team up to write this book.
