“From the time of your graduation from Columbia University to the second decade of the 21st Century, your impact on the nutrition and health of society spans over 40 years. As a visionary, you saw new directions necessary to restore and maintain health years before they were recognized by the academic world. As a health advocate and pioneer, you were at the forefront of efforts to educate patients in new ways of thinking.

Your efforts, through your books, public presentations and media appearances, have organized and transformed the way we view diets and how the body utilizes hormones. Your advocacy for freedom of choice in health matters made major contributions in the options available to all of us today. For your passion and dedication to health and nutrition, we recognize your outstanding achievements in the field of health, nutrition and especially health education. We salute you and extend our gratitude to you as Humanitarian Extraordinaire!”
