I’m a B+ non-secretor Explorer who’s been on the BTD for around 10 years and the GTD 1 year. My screen name on the forum is nowishow (now is how). I’m married to an O- secretor Hunter who has followed the diet off and on for the last 11 years as well. We live in Sonoma County with a dog and a cat, out in the Redwoods next to a large creek, since 2001. I’ve worked as a construction electrician, printer technician, fine art photographer, and currently I’m an admin for an IT department. But, I’m really the most passionate about health & nutrition. Most recently I’ve been studying Reiki, which is an energetic healing technique. It’s like massage, meditation, and love all combined to help the body heal itself. I’ve studied homeopathy (self taught) for about as long as I’ve been on the BTD.

I love learning about food, cooking, vitamins, and personality types. I love movies and books, but don’t watch TV at all. I used to be very active with cycling, kayaking, and hiking. And since I’m feeling so much better, I believe I will be able to start some of those activities again. My favorite spiritual teacher is Eckart Tolle. And I’m happy being 51 years old.
