We dedicate and acknowledge those gifted people for their support, guidance, and dedication to making this world a better place to live and raise our children. The authors would like to express special thanks to the people who helped make this book possible: To a new generation of physicians, therapists and educators who seek to find the natural alternative that frees the addicted from the prison of prescription drugs and gives them God’s greatest gift—the freedom to make a choice. To Robert Michael Benson, M.D. who taught me how to live my impossible dream. To Julian Whitaker, M.D., one of God’s gifted healers and an inspiration to all those who reach out. To Candace Pert, Ph.D., neuroscientist, whose research opened many doors in amino acids and neuropeptides. To David E. Bresler, Ph.D., our mentor in chronic pain and integral medicine. To Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., founder of the Institute of Func- tional Medicine and our mentor for over 25+ years. To Doris J. Rapp, M.D., whose wisdom and teachings opened the door to the world of environmental medicine. To Sherry Rogers, M.D. who introduced us to the world of magnesium chloride. To Annemarie S. Welch, a special physician and friend who shares her wealth of scientific data constantly. Linda M. Volpenhein, C.N.C. and Laura Boone, B.A., C.N.C. whose tireless hours of assistance helped make this book a reality. To a little boy named Scooter, now, an angel in heaven. And to the Lord, for always lighting our paths. A Special Dedication To My beloved mother for always being with me to guide me, teach me, and encourage me to climb the mountain. B.J. Sahley My father for his interest and belief in alternative medicine and his constant vigilance to make me aware of the present. K.M.
