I was born and raised in bonny Scotland, and flourished in a duel cultural background. I can say that my life has been rich in experiences and relationships with fine people. One subject that I have developed a passion for is Natural Alternative Health. The most incredible and wonderful way the human body repairs itself never fails to fascinate me, with all due credit to the Creator, yet we fail to understand that nutrition has a large part to play in this process. Now at the age of 54, I promote, talk and write about health matters. I don`t claim to be a medical expert, but try to understand about such things to help myself, my family and others who care to listen. So here, settled in Surrey England, I take pleasure in giving my guest, the reader, something I hope will be of value to them. Jamesina Goulbourne
