Martha Beck, bestselling author, life coach and columnist for O, The Oprah magazine Dr Rachel Abrams is amazingly caring and conscientious. I have benefitted from her considerable conventional medical knowledge as well as from her skill with natural remedies. She has kept a careful eye over my welfare all the way from California and has maintained a friendly and professional relationship with my South African doctors who have welcomed her contributions happily. It is because they have not been intrusive. My South African medical team and I hold her in very high regard and hope her book is as successful as it deserves to be for the benefit of even more people. God bless you
