Extraordinary Insights:
"Love what you do. That way, you can bring integrity and passion to what you d. It will get you through the long hours of work, such as in my case, it gets me through all the long hours of research because for every patient, I'm looking at least at weeks of research, making sure I'm up to date, and have the current things. By bringing passion and love to what you do, it gets transmitted to the patient and the patient finds the resources within themselves to deal with whatever it is they have to deal with."
According to Morwenna, sugar is one of the leading causes of cancer. Watch/listen to Shannon's interview with Morwenna.
