If you are holding this book in your hands, you’ve likely read one of Doug Kaufmann’s earlier books, seen him on television in shows such as Know the Cause!, or perhaps listened to one of his radio shows. You’re thinking that his philosophy on health may help you, and you’ve decided to give it a go. Hang on for the ride of your life, then. Because what you’ve decided to do — hopefully — is not simply to treat this as yet another diet, but rather to commit yourself to taking on the challenge of beginning a whole new life-style.
Doug has worked for just this kind of decision for more than 30 years. You see, he’s made it his lifelong objective to spread the word about how we can safegurd our health against the fungi and fungal toxins that so often contaminate our food supply. Early on, the resistance he met from the medical community convinced him to take his message directly to the public, via newsletters and then through radio and television programs. He has also gone on to publish several books, a website called knowthecause.comand a number of newspaper and magazine articles.
Books such as The Fungus Link, The Fungus Link, Volume 2, The Germ that Causes Cancer, Infectious Diabetes, andWhat Makes Bread Rise? contain volumes of data taken directly from medical and biological literature highlighting the role of fungi and their poisonous by-products(mycotoxins)in human disease.
In addition to the above work, Doug travels to cities all over the United States to hold seminars designed to educate the general public as to how to fight fungi and become truly healthy. At each seminar,

he takes the time to answer personal questions from the scores of people who line up to meet him one-on-one.
Now, you can benefit from Doug’s expertise by using this book to incorporate his philosophy on health into your own life. Remember, getting your body moving and taking nutritional supplements will always be essential. But if you’re eating the wrong things, maximum wellness will continue to remain out of your reach, no matter how much you exercise or how many supplements you may take. Follow the correct diet, and you can actually “let food be your medicine.”
I wish you hope, strength, joy and persistence in the new life you’ve chosen for yourself.
