“Degenerative diseases of aging are not genetic but acquired.  Because the systems of the human body are interconnected and because one imbalance creates another imbalance, poor eating and lifestyle habits, not genetics, are the cause of degenerative disease.”

— Diana Schwarzbein , MD (founder of The Schwarzbein Principle Institute, 1993. She sub-specializes in metabolism, diabetes, osteoporosis, menopause and thyroid conditions)
