ABOUT THE EDITOR

Laura T. Leggett

If it weren’t for Dr. Bowersox’ Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue recovery protocol, I would not have been able to participate in spreading the life-changing message contained in this book. Instead, I would have continued sleeping my life away, robbing my family and me of many precious experiences.

I am 35 years old, a wife and a full-time working mom of two young children.
