I believe what Ron is doing is important.

Dr. Sandra Kahn

Author of Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic

Ron is bringing to light some of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood health issues people are dealing with today. His work and collection of interviews is rapidly accelerating the rate at which this will inevitably become main stream, and changing peoples lives.
