Moving on…

Q:
Dear Mend-A-Guru,
One of my clients never had her stick change, even after 5 days on Mend-A-Blast. She continued on to Mend-A-Boost, as directed, but is concerned that it never changed even though she strictly followed the program. Any idea why it wouldn’t have changed even a little? She should move on, right?

Are these recipes Mend-A-Body Friendly?

Q:
Dear Mend-A-Guru,
Would these recipes be Mend-A-Body friendly?
Question 1:  This is a very traditional soup – served cold – it’s excellent in the down-home Texas heat.  I alter the recipe at times switching the cilantro for fresh basil and omit the tabasco to give it a more Italian flare.  I am sort of missing this with [...]

Is cheese neutral?

Q:
Dear Mend-A-Guru,
Can you explain please why cheese is considered a “neutral” and does not fall under the category of Dairy?
