Tu B'Shevat And Healing
Wonderful study Dr. Wasserman! Very clear and understandable. I would be looking forward to your future teachings. I have been having lots of problems with my GI, although, I do not drink, smoke cigarrettes nor eat junk food. Most of my meals are fruits, vegetables, and fish. But are allergic to almost all processed food and/or drinks, as well as dairy products. If you have any suggestions it will be very much appreciated. Thank you again, and may G-d bless you and your family.
