Hi! I am Dr. Johnnie Strickland Jr MD, FAAFP, ABFP (board certified Family Physician). I have been working with traditional and alternative medicine now for twenty years. One of my primary focuses is to help my patients get on a regimen of an Acid Free Diet. In 2003, I added Gano products because of the amazing low acidity of the coffee and how it helped to balance a person's pH. Recent research from all over the world stored at the National Library of Medicine reveals the herb Ganoderma (Reishi) to have over 460 studies on its benefits. I highly recommend people do this research for themselves as I know that when they do they will be as excited about this herb as I am. I have found no better way to deliver the benefits of this herb than in coffee and tea as most of my patients are tired of swallowing pills! They can now get the benefit of the herb simply by drinking their favorite beverage. I LIFT MY CUP TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH!
