A personal journey from a life-changing diagnosis to a path of holistic wellness, faith, and the discovery of natural healing.
Our Journey
The Founder's Story
The Turning Point
In the fall of 1994, after a routine visit to my urologist, I was informed that I had prostate cancer. I experienced the usual emotions: fear, anger, and confusion. Surgery was scheduled for early 1995, but after a discussion with a good friend, I was introduced to a very special individual who asked if I was willing to radically change my lifestyle. My immediate “absolutely” set the tone for my journey.
I chose not to have my prostate removed and instead turned to alternative methods. Faith in God and the support and knowledge from this individual and others helped me tremendously. Along the holistic wellness path, I’ve met many wonderful people who have shared valuable information.
I continue to explore all options in alternative medicine (there are many – don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) and want to share what has worked for me. The thoughts and suggestions I share here are my own, handed down to me, and I believe they reflect the truth, which can set us free.
Begin Your Wellness Journey
Embarking on a holistic health journey requires embracing fundamental practices that promote balance and vitality. By integrating these core principles into your daily life, you’ll find a path towards sustainable well-being. Discover the transformative effects of these foundational steps.
Pure Water and Live Food
Ensuring access to pure, chemical-free water is vital for our health, as water permeates our entire body. It acts as a medium for all bodily processes and can also carry diseases. To protect our health, it’s crucial to consume the purest water possible. I avoid tap water and use a small under-the-counter reverse osmosis machine at home, while purchasing distilled water when traveling. It’s important to start the day by drinking pure water and continue to hydrate before meals – about 24 oz for women and 32 oz for men.
Incorporating live food into your diet, such as juicing fresh organic vegetables like carrots, broccoli, celery, and parsley, is another key element in maintaining health. I allow at least 30 minutes after consuming juices for their nutrients to be fully absorbed. Raw vegetable juices nourish and rebuild cells, and eating raw fruits and vegetables preserves their vitamins, minerals, and enzymes – essential for our body’s functioning. For a nutritious breakfast, I mix Mt. Capra Mineral Goat Whey and Renewal Greens with organic almond milk or pure water, emphasizing organic ingredients whenever possible.
Raw Fruits and Vegetables
I strongly recommend incorporating juicing into your daily routine, ideally for at least one meal each day. In my view, there are no magic bullets when it comes to health, but when facing a serious illness, we must utilize every available resource. As a wise friend once told me, the true magic bullet is our immune system. It’s up to us to bolster that immune system in every way possible, enhancing its ability to defend and heal.
Juicing raw fruits and vegetables plays a vital role in this process. Freshly juiced produce is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that nourish and invigorate our bodies. These nutrients not only support our immune system but also contribute to overall well-being. I truly believe that by following a few simple, basic steps such as this, we can ensure a healthier, higher quality of life. As we strive for wellness, keeping our immune system strong through the power of natural foods is a fundamental part of the journey.
No (or very little) Processed Food
I aim to keep processed foods to a minimum. These foods often come from cans and boxes, stripped of enzymes to extend shelf life, but they lack nutritional life. This approach doesn’t work for me.
Dr. Robert L. Erdmann explains that enzymes are vital for speeding up body functions. Germany has had success using enzyme therapy, with studies showing about 70% effectiveness against cancer.
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics: Created by Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, these probiotics aim to revolutionize health like antibiotics did. They support immune health, addressing the limitations of conventional medicine.
OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT / d-LENOLATE: Our bodies host microorganisms that are usually harmless. When immunity weakens, these can cause disease. East Park’s Olive Leaf Extract has helped many strengthen their defenses.
Daily Excercise
Every morning, rain or shine, I commit to a brisk walk, making sure to breathe deeply and bring vital oxygen into my body. Oxygen is crucial for fighting diseases like cancer, but it must reach the cells to be effective. By improving our circulation through exercise, we support oxygen delivery to those cells. Ideally, one should engage in vigorous exercise for about an hour each day, adjusting for age and overall health. I always recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before beginning strenuous activities and practicing moderation.
Swimming is a fantastic exercise option because it places no stress on the joints and provides excellent overall conditioning. Dr. Otto Warburg, who received the Nobel Prize for Medicine twice in 1931, highlighted the importance of oxygen for cellular life through his research. Without sufficient oxygen at the cellular level, no life processes can occur, causing cells to die. Additionally, damaged cells are more likely to multiply and form growths when they are oxygen-deficient.
Spiritual Awareness
In the introduction to “Where There Is Light” by Paramahansa Yogananda, there’s a powerful message about spiritual awareness that resonates with me. As we move into the twenty-first century, there’s growing recognition of the oneness of life. Spiritual traditions have long taught that our lives are part of a universal whole, and now physicists support this vision, revealing a unity that connects galaxies to our cells. This emerging understanding is sparking a revolution in human awareness, offering a new perspective on our potential and the interconnectedness of all things.
This outlook brings reassurance amid today’s challenges. We are not mere victims in a chaotic universe; many of the world’s issues arise from a lack of harmony with the cosmos. By aligning our lives with this universal harmony, we can effectively face any challenges. I recommend purchasing this book at your local bookstore.
In summary, I hope that by sharing the insights and products I’ve discovered, this website will encourage you to take charge of your health. I will continue to offer these resources online, adding more over time.
