We Come From The Earth-Therefore The Earth Can Sustain Us


Everyone and everything comes from the earth-therefore the earth can sustain us! The body is a complex vessel that is capable of healing itself. Both of these statements form the basis from which I do my research in natural health and acquire knowledge to share with you the reader.

In 2006, I retired after working for 25 years and then began my fascinating journey as a natural health researcher. Little did I know how much this field was going to change my life and the people I care about for the better. Like other Americans I too had been raised on western medicine (my father was a dentist for over 40 years) however from an early age both my parents instilled in me the desire to obtain knowledge, question everything and always seek the truth. Those lessons served me well throughout my life- giving me the ability to do this research.


Humans are strongest when they are close to the earth. Since the beginning of humankind, we have evolved dramatically both physically and emotionally. Societies also created systems which produced science, education, technology, material goods and services. As humankind progressed over the centuries, we began to move away from the earth and our existence became more and more predicated on man made substances. Research shows that the more our bodies are exposed to toxins the more we are in danger.


To better understand this concept all we have to do is look at people who reside in places around the globe who still live off of the earth. These are people who do not take any form of pharmaceutical drugs, eat processed foods or are exposed to dangerous pollutants in their breathing space and not privy to technology. Their rate of disease and illness is far less than those of people who eat process foods or are surrounded by toxins in the environment. Quite simply they live better and healthier lives! Somewhere along the way many of us left the notion of "living off the land" and have opted to fill our lives with substances that are counter-productive to what our bodies need to be strong and healthy.

Living in America today, I am on a constant mission to be aware of harmful elements that surround me and I urge you to become more enlightened to the forces that can do damage to your body. In many ways the various new technologies that we have invented and eagerly embraced are the very ones that are doing the most damage to our bodies. The task to change the way we live is not easy and I am not a proponent of completely changing ones lifestyle. One way to view the issue and a possible solution could be the old saying “everything in moderation”.

We have indeed moved away from the earth and the many nourishment's it can provides us. Much of the world’s population now demands a lifestyle that is fast paced and on the edge. The warning signs have been there for some time-we just somehow refuse to listen.  The good news for all of us is it's never too late to act and begin to reach back to the earth and reclaim our health and well being. Always remember we come from the earth-therefore the earth can sustain us for life.  To your good health!
