Michael Bedar, MA, is an avid investigator of natural healing and Co-Director of the East Bay Healing Collective. He conducted a study of 200 people diagnosed with diabetes in the course of earning his Master's Degree. This study revealed attitude factors, thoughts, and specific lifestyle behaviors that make a difference in health outcomes, starting from the day of diagnosis. The results, along with ten years as a passionate natural health facilitator, provide background and grounding for Bedar's new novel that embodies the people who succeeded, Sweet Healing: A Whole Health Journey! Bedar is also certified to practice Spiritual Nutrition Counseling with individuals and organizations. He is a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and often a speaker and an essayist.

Bedar has spoken on wellness at conferences, clinics, community centers, universities, and groups including the American Diabetes Association, the United States General Services Administration, American Society of Civil Engineers, Kaiser Permanente, and Alta Bates Hospital-Wellness for Life Center. Bedar offers a new type of engaging and effective entertainment to those who desire health and, maybe, even transformation-if you can stand the suspense of Sweet Healing . "This book is filled with Michael's dedication, caring, and generous personality, infused with serving and raising awareness for the world around him as if it were his own family. In this book you'll find a great story to help avail yourself to wisdom and knowledge about eating and living a healthier lifestyle. A story written like this comes from someone walking his talk. Sweet Healing is inspiring to those suffering with preventable and reversible illnesses, so they may create new habits and ways of living that reinforce a loving, healthy sense of self." -Debbie Merrill, USFSA Silver-Medalist, author of Raw Truth to the Fountain of Youth , host of The Debbie Merrill Show See less
