Eat Again Like

The work of the stomach is
to extract the life-giving prop
critics from the food you eat,
and these properties are dis
tributed through the body by
the blood. If the stomach does
not perform this work, as
Nature intended, the blood
suffers and the entire system
becomes affected.
The eight different ingredi-
