Dr. Samuel Atallah

Dr. Atallah is among the most well known colorectal surgeons in the world, currently serving as the Chairman of the Department of Colorectal Surgery at all of Orlando’s 6-campus Florida Hospitals, Director of Research and Clinical Trials at The Digestive And Liver Center of Florida, Director of The Division of Colorectal Surgery at The EndoSurgical Center of Florida, and beginning in March, 2018, the Director of Colorectal Surgery at Oviedo Medical Center.

He moved to Orlando in 2007 after completing training at Houston’s Texas Medical Center with Surgical Oncology training at MD Anderson Cancer Center where his training had earned him double-board certification in General Surgery and Colorectal Surgery. Two years to the day after completing fellowship training in colon & rectal surgery, Dr. Atallah performed the world’s first TAMIS operation in Winter Park, FL on June 30, 2009. This created a new approach to treating rectal cancers and polyps, that is now being practiced in more than 50 countries world-wide. Dr. Atallah is also a pioneer robotic transanal surgery, and was the first in the world to perform this technique. He is one of the leaders in advanced technology for rectal cancer surgery and has developed the technique of stereotactic navigation for transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) — an important step forward in the evolution of computer-assisted surgery. Complex treatment of rectal cancer and surgical management of this disease through the new techniques of TAMIS and taTME represent Dr. Atallah’s principle interests in colorctal surgery; and he is currently in the works of producing a textbook on these topics on schedule to be published in 2019 by Springer Nature. He is also actively involved in the design and assessment of feasibility of next generation robotic sytems that will be smaller, sleaker, and able to work in places and spaces never before imagined.

Other areas of Dr. Atallah’s research interest include understanding the tumor biology of colon cancer at the molecular level. He is the principle investigator of a major study looking at biologic tumor markers that can lead to a better understanding of cancer tumors. This study is in collaboration with Sanford & Burnham Labs in La Jolla, CA. Other than cancer surgery, and operative management of inflammatory bowel disease, his other areas of specialty include minimally invasive treatments for hemorrhoids, especially with the ‘no-cutting’ operation called Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization (THD), and treatment of dysplasia; Dr. Atallah is one of the few experts in the Orlando area to perform High Resolution Anoscopy (HRA) for detection and treatment of AIN (Anal Intra-epithial Neoplasia).

Anutra President of Marketing

Marilyn is an author, speaker, life coach, and corporate trainer in marketing and personal development. She has been on the advisory board for two nutritional and nutraceutical companies in the U.S. and Canada, and is certified in Process Communication under renowned psychologist and behavioral scientist Dr.Taibi Kahler. Marilyn is an advocate and voice for the many Seniors who have no voice for which she authored the book “Living the Seasons of Life – Fall and Winter” to give understanding to the fears, the wants and needs of those in the Winter Season of Life. Her first two books can be found on our Anutra.com website and on Amazon.

Marilyn entered the world of natural health and nutrition at the age of 26 when she experienced multiple health challenges and after months of testing by doctors which left them without answers or a clear diagnosis she was told she was probably in the early stages of MS but could not be given a certain diagnosis. The doctor who summarized the many in depth tests simply told her that when her symptoms worsened and she could no longer do her functions as a wife and mother of her then 3 very young children she could come back for a more conclusive diagnosis.

In that moment Marilyn made a declaration that… “The God who created me also created all that is necessary to heal my body naturally and I will find it!” That sent her on a lifelong quest to find those answers and led her to studies and companies that gave her some of the answers along the way. However, after over 50 years of research and connection with some of the finest natural product companies, holistic doctors and scientific researchers, and finding part of the answers that helped her health Marilyn was finally introduced to Anutra and realized her prayer and declaration were answered. The Anutra products brought the level of health she was looking for and her life is now dedicated to using all she has learned throughout her life to help others by sharing these life giving products. “I’m proud and grateful to be a part of the Anutra team.” says Marilyn

PRESIDENT of Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Free Christian Ministries

It is a joy to be President of this most important new ministry! More information will be posted shortly about the work we at Anutra are undertaking, but for now I have been asked to put a little about my background in ministry.

I believe I actually started my ministry when I was 12 years old and the minister asked us to take some tracts from the rack and share the Good News with others. I did so immediately with great joy. Over all the years since I have been a minister’s wife for 21 years, taught classes in all age levels and created materials for those classes. Started opportunities of ministry for others involving several hundred Christians using their talents and desires to help others. I’ve prepared and hosted several area wide retreats covering several States in the Midwest. I’ve been a church secretary to do all the work behind the scenes and I have authored and taught seminars and classes on personal and spiritual growth in many States, Canada and Mexico. I’m here to help all who would like to be involved and who can be blessed by these ministries.
Blessings most sincerely,
Marilyn Lahr Morini
