Reuel Hesterman
Hi, my name is Reuel and I am a very experienced health care practitioner. My philosophy is very simple... The body is self healing. I proved it! In August of 1982 I fasted for 42 days consuming only distilled water. My body healed from first stage colon cancer and an extremely debilitated immune system due to the presence of severe “life threatening” ulcerative colitis since 1973.I remember having painful knees, really smelly gas and tremendous urgency to eliminate since my pre-teen years. It has been 29 years and I am thrilled to say that I am symptom free and feel better than ever!I worked as a nurse and retired in 1995 after 10 very stressful years in the field. In February 1996, life opened up to my passion of helping people heal in a real way so I attended the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics and graduated as a Natural Therapeutic Specialist, sort of a jack of all trades and master in a few maybe.For the past 12 years in Sedona, AZ, I have successfully operated Digestive Wellness Center here in Sedona, Arizona offering Colon Therapy and Digestive Wellness/Healthy Lifestyle Coaching with literally thousands of people from around the world. I also offer Soul Synchronism sessions: deeply relaxing, centering and uplifting which could be a great beginning for your Sedona Experience.I am also the author of two internationally distributed books: “Vegan~Licious”, how to be healthy and balanced eating a vegan diet, and “Heal from the Inside Out” a Nutritious Vegan Living/Raw Food approach to cleansing, detoxification and healing.In my professional pursuits I have developed a Colon Therapy Training Course, and to date, 31 students have been successfully trained and certified, many who are in practice today as Certified Colon Therapists using the “Gravity Flow” Colon Therapy system I designed and use myself. I love empowering my students to live their passion.In addition to my aforementioned credentials, I am a Certified Vegan Living Foods Educator through the Ann Wigmore Health Institute in Puerto Rico, 1998.ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY TO "REMEMBERING WHAT FEELING WELL IS ALL ABOUT"

As I was writing Vegan~Licious (TM), my five children became the taste testers. And as you probably know, children are our best critics. Appreciation goes to them for their involvement in this project. Our cooking adventures have been tried and tested on them with exclamations like This is great!
and What’s this?
or This one is definitely Vegan~Licious bound!
Thanks to the five of you. I love you dearly.
Sincere gratitude goes to Carol Berry, my editor. Her vigilant attention to details and her clarity of purpose has made writing and publishing Vegan~Licious (TM) a pure joy. Thank you, Carol, I could not have done this without you. My gratitude as well goes to Paula Gallegos whose illustrations brought our text to life. Thank you, Paula.
I would also like to thank all of the students and staff at The New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. It became evident as we began studying nutrition that there was a need for this book. So, thanks for your support along the way and for purchasing the first 100 copies.

~A Modern Disclaimer~
There is a wonderful transition happening in the world today. Millions of people are waking up to the fact that food has a profound effect on their being. Eating a diet rich in vital, health building foods restores our sense of wellness. Researchers over the globe are pointing humanity toward BEING VEGETARIAN.
There is a twofold opportunity here. The first is to recognize that the pull to BECOME VEGETARIAN is valid for life and for healing. The other is to share this truth with your healthcare providers so they can benefit from your knowledge and thereby pass this natural way of healing on to their next client.
VEGAN VEGETARIANISM IS HERE TO STAY!
When we are pulled to change our lifestyle, whether by diet or physical exercise, it is always recommended to share these changes with your physician. In my experience as a nurse, many doctors are willing and even accepting of the vegetarian diet as a healing modality for their clients.
~An Autobiographical Note~
Twenty years of searching and 45 years of struggle have brought me to this blessed time. I have literally taken every remedy, every food supplement and received almost every type of body therapy imaginable. I have even fasted from food for 42 days, drinking only distilled water.
The one thing that has been consistent throughout is –you guessed it -BEING VEGETARIAN. If there is one thing that I can recommend with zeal and confidence it is to BECOME A VEGAN VEGETARIAN. So here's to you, BE FULL, BE SATISFIED, AND ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR SPIRITUAL BECKONING TO BECOME AND CONTINUE TO LIVE AS A VEGAN VEGETARIAN.
