Our family headed back to the basics almost 30 years ago when our children had health issues. God healed our children of respiratory issues and ADHD tendencies, by giving us wisdom to treat them nutritionally. That made us realize that when we get back to the basics of eating God’s “manna,” His Creation, we will experience health and healing.
