Nesheivat sells the book on her website, which also advertises the dietary supplements she developed.
Janet Nesheivat is expected to serve in the new role alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s preferred health secretary and a well-known anti-vaccination candidate. A severe overhaul of the country’s healthcare system is something Kennedy has already declared.
