The Rain Barrel Effect: How a 6,000 Year Old Answer Holds the Secret to Finally Getting Well, Losing Weight & Feeling Alive Again! Paperback – March 24, 2018

It's no exaggeration to say that this book changed my life in so many amazing ways. I'd never known a lot about health or how the body works on a fundamental level, even after 35 years as somebody who loves to learn. But this book - and afterwards Dr. Cabral's podcasts and programs - helped me see truly how the body works and works together in a beautiful symphony, not individual, unexplained "dis-eases". Because of this book, I no longer touch pharmaceuticals, I do detoxes, avoid *any* unnecessary medical *procedures* and much more. Now when I go to an allopathic doctor, I realize I have a far deeper understanding of the body than they do - sometimes even with specialists! I became an Integrative Health Practitioner and share that knowledge with any who will listen. I cannot recommend this book enough for those who are not getting answers from the medical system and want real answers. If all of our health care practitioners read this book and put it into practice, American medicine would be radically transformed overnight and we would have far healthier population.
