I have a short and interesting article about Arnold Ehret – written by K.S. Jaffrey – author and health educator from 1930-1998 – communicated with Ehret during his lifetime.
If you would like a copy – pls let me know.
Hey Kevin, that would be awesome. Can you message it to me on my facebook page? Much appreciated!
want to try it for sure…
