Montreal-born Lynn Allison started out writing self-help articles for local newspapers and hosting a local cable TV interview show which led to the Canadian Broadcasting System offering her the hostess position on a national TV talk show.

When Globe hired her full-time writing at its headquarters in Boca Raton, she and her husband moved there.

To many people garlic is just garlic, a flavoring that gives zest to food. To Charlie Fox, it is the difference between life and death. More than 33 years ago, while Charlie was working in his father's floor wax business, breathing toxic fumes daily, he became deathly ill. Doctors found that three-fourths of his liver was damaged and said that his chances of continuing to live were marginal. Charlie didn't like the odds, so he made drastic life changes. A raw food diet, daily exercise, pure water and an abundance of garlic rejuvenated his liver and the rest of him. Today he is noted for super-energy and stamina. He attributes his mainly to garlic. Fascinated with garlic's effectiveness against illnesses from time of the ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans until now, Charlied noted that hundreds of modern studies validate its health value. Twenty-two years ago, this motivated him to join Wakunaga of America, makers of aged garlic, and to study intensively the many benefits of garlic. Inasmuch as Charlie has given thousands of talks on this subject, in person and on the air, throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan, he has come to be known as "The Garlic Guru."
