Phyllis A. Balch - Phyllis Balch, a certified nutritional consultant, was a leading nutritional counselor for than two decades, and came to the field from after experiencing in her own life the health benefits of diet and nutrition. Convinced that nutrition was, in many cases, the answer to regaining and maintaining health, Ms. Balch opened a health food store called Good Things Naturally, testified before Congress on the efficacy of natural healing, and in 1983 she published what is now known as Prescription for Nutritional Healing. Through four editions, this book has had millions of readers in many different countries, and has been translated into six foreign languages. Ms. Balch died in December 2004.
