Karen Edwards PhD

Many years ago I was experiencing a number of health problems. I was not getting acceptable results from my family doctor, so I decided to investigate some alternative healing methods. I found that natural herbs and supplements that were available through a multi-level marketing corporation began to help me considerably, and I became active as a manager in sales to others also. Because I wanted to increase my own knowledge, I discovered that there were several alternative colleges that offered degrees in holistic health. I subsequently enrolled in Clayton College of Natural Health as a PhD candidate. As I prepared my doctoral dissertation on healing periodontal disease, I discovered that xylitol would be very helpful in dealing with my dental and blood sugar issues, and that it was a natural sweetener. I began using xylitol in my desserts and beverages, and, because I found that it worked so well in recipes that I had modified, I decided to write and publish a cookbook containing desserts and other sweets that most people would be familiar with, except that xylitol was used as the primary sweetener in place of refined sugar. Companies that I bought my xylitol from also seemed very interested in this type of cookbook and were willing to buy it in quantity. As I continued to develop new recipes as well as refining and improving the original recipes, I decided to update the cookbook with a second edition, the one being sold on Amazon.com at the present time. As I have applied the principles I have learned over the last several years of ongoing study of alternative methods of eating and healing, I can now state emphatically that I am in better health now than at any time in my past. My goal is to continue to provide others with the benefit of my knowledge, and that is why I have started a new website, karenshealthykitchen.com, to sell products that are beneficial to people who may have dental and physical health issues, and to provide as much information as possible about other products and healing modalities that I have become familiar with also.
