The books have been translated into many languages worldwide. 50 Secrets received the following review from renowned U.S. author Jimmy Moore: ‘With the glut of health, diet, and nutrition books on the market today, how can you cut to the chase and find just one that will tell you what you need to be doing to live a long and healthy life? Well, now you have one. It’s called 50 Secrets of the World’s Longest-Living People [it] is a book that should be in every home, school, and library in the United States of America. If it was, then I assure you that radical changes would take place in obesity, sickness, prescription drug use, sugar consumption, the fast food industry and so much more…’ Sally lives in Pakistan where she has appeared on television several times and has been asked to present her own nutrition makeover series which is now in development.

Nutrition can help chronic diseases, pain management, mental health problems, weight and eating disorders, it can boost immunity, protect against degenerative diseases, enhance sport performance, increase fertility and help improve skin conditions, among others CONSULTATIONS BCNH consultations are structured in a way that is best suited to each person based on her or his current condition. In this way, the clients will achieve maximum benefit from their programme. The first consultation may take about 1.5 hours. The main focus of the first consultation is on diet and lifestyle analysis, as all major health problems root from these factors. A holistic examination of various profiles (e.g., immunity, cardiovascular profile, toxicity profile, etc), and their effects on any current health problems is also explored. The individual's biochemical status and emotional factors are also considered. From these we prepare a report and recommendations, which are thoroughly explained at the consultation Apart from science-based evidence, we believe in working with the medical profession, not against them. We see Nutrition as a complementary therapy, not as an alternative. TOP BCNH Prospectus (08 - 09) Latest version
