Fall is Here!

October 19th, 2012

Hello I’m Pamela Van Zee, Editor of Our Community Kitchen.

As a young adult, I developed asthma, and for many years I used inhalers and occasionally steroids to control the attacks. I just knew there had to be a better way to manage it. Fortunately, I was introduced to Wayne Garland!

When I told him about my condition he immediately recommended I get off all dairy products, especially cheese, as dairy creates mucous in the body, which was making breathing difficult.

With this simple change to my diet and few of Wayne’s supplements, my asthma attacks started to diminish the first week and within 60 days I stopped using an inhaler altogether, and haven’t used one since. It’s hard to believe that was nearly 20 years ago.

I have always loved to cook and this experience heightened my desire to seek alternative methods for my well being. I have been been dairy-free ever since and vegetarian for the last 10 years.

I remember in the early years, my family and friends thought I was on some “fad” diet and didn’t understand my journey to achieve a better quality of life.  However, over time, they saw the benefits of my decision in my overall health and appearance.  Some of them have applied the same practices to their lives and now I’m the person they call for alternative recipes, pantry clearing and grocery shopping trips.  I have assisted them with learning to shop for nutritional foods which in turn has helped them achieve a healthier life.

Through the years I have been able to accumulated a wealth of information which I’m excited to share with you on your quest toward  “Contagious Health”.
