So how can he help you? My story:For the first forty five years of my life, I was a pretty conventional sort of guy (health-wise). I was born in Africa, in what was then Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. My father was an engineer, building the mighty Kariba hydro-electric dam, at the time the world's biggest. We lived miles from nowhere, in the hills above the burning-hot Zambesi river valley. My mother tried to grow a few vegetables and some paw paw (papaya) trees, but the baboons stole nearly everything. Most groceries were trucked in from the capital, 250 miles away. We had access to fresh fish from the lake and game (a variety of antelopes, warthog / bush pig) as well as beef, which at the time was the best in the world. Almost every meal we had some kind of meat. My favourite food was a large bowl of cornflakes, fresh creamy milk (which was raw, not pasteurised in those days), dollops of cream and chopped avocado or banana. I was a strong healthy lad with plenty of energy I moved to Australia over 30 years ago, and now live in Perth, on the west coast. It is the lucky country, and I feel privileged to be here. We have a national health system with subsidised doctors, and free care if you need to go to a public hospital. The standard of medical care is in line with other Western countries For all those years I believed that doctors, dentists, medical associations and the government regulators were the best source of health information and support. I thought that they really did have the answers - who better to advise on diet, medicines and lifestyle? The problem was their advice was not working. I realised that I looked and felt ten years older than my real age. I was not seriously ill, but my body was well short of the real health and energy that I knew I should have. Several ailments had bugged me for years, and they were getting worse, not better. My digestion was poor, I was balding, my skin was terrible, and there were a few niggling aches and pains that were gradually increasing. Different doctors had little to say that helped. What they had to offer was simply this - drugs. I realised that if I wanted anything else - sufficient time to investigate the root causes of my ailments, unbiased good practical advice, and remedies that really work - then I had to look elsewhere So began my journey investigating different remedies, diets and lifestyles. I have spent the last twelve years researching what really works in health and longevity. I sought and met people who had a different outlook on life and looked a decade younger than they actually were. As I got to know them, I realised they weren't even trying to stay young and healthy! They were playful and had fun. They exercised, but less than me. They ate foods that were delicious and enjoyable. I was shocked to discover that many of the foods they regularly used were the same ones I had avoided for so many years I went to India and lived in an ashram for a couple of months. I volunteered to work as one of the lunchtime chefs, and prepared hundreds of meals every morning. I have always been pretty good in the kitchen, but this was the first time I had worked at such a scale - hot, sweaty, hard work. It confirmed my love of food, especially food produced with love and integrity. It was also an opportunity to meditate for hours each day, and meet with people who were playful, happy and healthy In the last few years, I have travelled to and studied areas of the world where people are traditionally long-lived, and also places where the health of the population is deteriorating rapidly. I have tried many different diets and health approaches over the years, including vegetarian, vegan, ayurvedic, Taoist, raw food, macrobiotic, acid-alkaline, blood-type, paleolithic, mediterranean, traditional, and the diets in numerous popular books. I have interviewed hundreds of people to get their personal experience and assess how they are ageing. I learned everything I could about nutrition, biochemistry, psychology, energy work, the mind-body links, consciousness research and different types of meditation. I have researched (and used myself) Tai Chi, yoga, Pilates, breath work, Taoist exercises, many different meditations, various modes of bodywork, and heat and cold treatments A lot of the health information I read in the media is simply not true. It is carefully crafted to serve the industries/associations that sponsor these articles. I was dismayed to discover that so much of the information on the web, in popular books, and even in published research is just lies and twisting of the facts. The food, pharmaceutical, health products industries and associations of health professionals first and foremost serve their own financial interests I was delighted and excited to discover that many traditional household remedies, ingredients and old-fashioned, unprocessed foods are highly effective cures - much more effective than drugs and medications. Several complaints I had had for years were healed within weeks of starting one of the healthy remedies detailed on this website I now work full-time on this website. My life's focus is discovering healthy remedies that really work. Most of these remedies are cheap, natural, widely available, and cannot be patented. Some have even been deliberately discredited My goal is making healthy, youthful longevity available to everyone
