I began this newsletter to counter the negative talk and fear during covid panic and isolation. I was tired of the way health and human life were being negatively framed.
And I was sick of seeing natural and preventive medicine denigrated as if it were ineffective and irrelevant. And I was sickened by the increase of jingoism by westerners reflexively dismissing the longest lived traditions of medicine on this planet.
But I’m going to be honest with you … I faltered. I grew faint-hearted in the face of what seemed to be a dark wall resistance to optimism about health and healing. I saw wall of skepticism about elements of natural medicine I’d learned and tested in my own life years ago.
I saw people swallowed up in fear, who may not have known better. But I gave up pressing on … and I grew angrier about the whole scene.
No more.
I have decided that the only way to live is to have the courage of my convictions and to inspire others to the same.
My purpose is to use this platform to frame health and well being in a positive and empowering way — for as many people as possible.
My purpose is to share everything I've learned in my 30 years of experience with health issues and natural medicine — and to keep learning alongside you as we go.
My purpose is to lift you up and bring light into your life.
I intend to be of service to you and as much of humanity as I can.
