Lynne McTaggart is an award-winning journalist and author. She's best known as founder and editor (with her publisher husband Bryan Hubbard) of some of the UK and the US's leading health newsletters. She and Bryan are directors of a public company called What Doctor Don't Tell You Ltd, which publishes newsletters and books about alternative health.

Lynne has become a well-respected national spokesperson on the practices of conventional and alternative medicine. Recently, she and her company (known as WDDTY) spearheaded the Health Freedom Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting European and international laws threatening freedom of choice in natural medicine.

Lynne began work on The Field four years ago as a personal quest to see if any new scientific theories could explain how homeopathy and spiritual healing work. This journey took her to many areas around the globe, meeting with top frontier scientists in Russia, Germany, France, England, South American, Central America and the USA.

"During these meetings, I made incredible discoveries," says Lynne. "What these scientists were working on seemed to overthrow the current laws of biology, chemistry and physics. Their work not only offered an explanation of why homeopathy and spiritual healing might work. Their theories and experiments also compounded into a new science, a new view of the world."

"This book was the most ambitious - and difficult - project I have ever undertaken," she says. "For several years I immersed myself in quantum physics and pored through hundreds of scientific papers."

"I then had the task of decoding what was often impenetrable work into something that ordinary readers could understand. In many cases I had to repeatedly pester the scientists to explain aspects of physics. I involved each in the laborious business of checking facts and my interpretation. Their assistance was incalculable.

"Most difficult of all was synthesizing the work of all these individual scientists into a cohesive whole. It took many months and a good deal of thinking on my own and with the help of the scientists concerned to work how their individual findings might fit together."

Lynne is author of two earlier books, The Baby Brokers: The Marketing of White Babies in America (The Dial Press) and Kathleen Kennedy: Her Life And Times (The Dial Press/Weidenfeld & Nicolson).

Recently, Lynne and Kathleen Kennedy were the subject of front page news stories all across America when it was revealed that thousands of words of Lynne's book had been copied by noted historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in her book The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. Although Lynne confirmed that a legal settlement had been reached with Mrs Goodwin some 15 years ago she has expressed many times that she bears Mrs Goodwin no ill will. "I forgave her a long time ago," she says.

Lynne and her husband Bryan live and work in England with their two daughters.
