Deep healing nine years quadriplegic!
Don’t even ponder, just buy this book! It’s the best book you’ll ever buy on nutrition and health! If you are human, you need to buy this book! If you have any health symptoms, whether large or small, you need to buy this book! If you have children, you need to buy this book! Sally is brilliant, and so is this book! She has a unique gift of being able to take scientific information and make it easily accessible and digestible by the lay person. She has done her due diligence and dived deep into the scientific literature. She’s been eating low oxalate for over nine years, and she has personal experience of profound healing from decades of eating a high oxalate diet! She also has many years of experience working with thousands of clients. She is the real deal! After four decades of chronic illness and a spinal cord injury (C4/5 quadriplegia) in 2012 which was precipitated by osteoporosis, which I confidently blame on a diet high in oxalates. I can irrefutably state that my body is healing! The doctors at Craig Hospital, where I did my spinal cord injury rehab, told me that any gains I had in the 18 to 24 months post injury would be all I would get. I am triumphantly defying their predictions by regaining some sensation in my hands and wrists and improved diaphragmatic functioning 10 years after my injury! Over the past year I have seen two different times where the sensation in the bilateral thumb areas increased and my diaphragm function improved: sensations changing from nothing/annoying to pleasant, a louder voice with no effort and significant increase in spitting distance! I thought the spinal cord injury was my death sentence and I actively prayed many times to be removed from this life. And now, at 58 years old, and after three years on a low oxalate diet, almost constant dumping and feeling like I was getting dragged through hell at times, the results are astonishing. I am crying tears of joy as I write this knowing there is more healing to come! Over the past six months as of January 2023: Blood work showed I had to decrease my thyroid medication Mood improvements: feeling pings of joy deep in my heart and excitement about my future More fire in my belly and passion to dive deeper into my life, purpose and spiritual path Feeling excited to tell my story and doing it on YouTube and Instagram Clenched fingers in my left hand, specifically pointer and pinky fingers, releasing Fibrous muscle tissues showing signs of healing Improved bowel function Signs of improved cognition Thank you, Sally K Norton, for helping me to understand my how I damaged my own health by buying into the diet dogma and thinking “healthy “eating with an emphasis on plant foods was going to keep me healthy and strong and disease-free. Thank you for supporting me through this crazy, healing journey! Please learn from my mistakes and keep your food choices low in oxalates!

Brilliant for UnExplainable Pain
I have been searching for clues to my pain and illnesses (multiple autoimmune diseases) for many years, and aside from working to heal my trauma, meditation and therapy, diet has been a key factor. I ended up limiting my foods severely and unfortunately to mostly toxic high-oxalate foods until I was diagnosed with osteopenia and then almost immediately after that with autism. I already had vulvodynia and no one was saying anything about oxalates. Sally K Norton is a GENIUS! Doctors have no training in this and my specialist for my Ulcerative Colitis still thinks oxalates only cause kidney stones. Well Norton's book brilliantly exposes the truth of why my guts are so scarred, why I've had so much trouble, and she provides a way to heal, finally. For the past year, I've studied her website and gone to her talks and followed her on youtube. This book puts all her knowledge in one place, easy to access and understand. Stop living on almonds, yams, spinach, beets, carrots and celery, (there's more to it, but these were my go-to foods) and you too will begin to heal. (Don't stop all at once.) It's very do-able and it will change your life immediately, as you learn how to manage it. Norton gives us the tools we need to live without pain, exhaustion, and inflammation!

Saved my life!
If I wouldn't have stumbled across Sally k Norton's work on YouTube back in May I'd still be suffering horribly! I had no idea all the spinach, chard (and more) I was packing into my smoothies, along with eating sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, almond milk, etc. Was the reason I was suffering in horrible pain for years. Once I started lowering the oxalate foods I started finding relief. It's been about 8 months and I feel 95% better! After 15 years of eating this way it was a hard pill to swallow, but I had tried everything under the sun to try and heal. I highly recommend this book!
