My journey into natural health started about ten years ago when I was suffering from chronic sinus infections. At the time I was flying full-time as pilot, experiencing dramatic pressure changes several times a day this was a serious condition and can be very dangerous. I did the “obvious” thing and sought out an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) MD. I was diagnosed with acute sinusitis with an accompanying mild asthma. My doctor was convinced that the solution to my health issues was to find the “right” combination of cortico-steriods and antibiotics to clear up my infection. I walked out of his office every two weeks with a bag full of sample drugs in one hand and a fist full of prescriptions in the other.
Pilots are very good at following instructions and I was desperate for help, so I followed his instructions to the letter. After four long months of aggressive medical treatment my symptoms were worse than when I started. I saw two different surgeons that both recommended surgery. However, I learned that 50% of people who get the surgery are back under the knife a year later when their symptoms return because the root cause was not addressed.
Considering this among other facts, I started considering natural solutions to my health issues. Using completely natural protocols thirty days later, I was a new person! My sinus infection and accompanying congestion were completely gone. Not only that, my sleep was more restful, my energy and stamina were greatly increased. My memory and mental alertness were dramatically improved and my wife will tell you, I was a lot more fun to be around.
Having experienced first hand how effective natural health protocols can be, I became and enthusiastic supporter of natural health. From that point, I was committed to pursuing a lifestyle of natural health for my family and me. Since then, God has developed in me a passion to help others experience the freedom that comes with vibrant health. In 2003 I made the decision to pursue natural health as a full-time career.
I am committed to helping people experience abundant life in Christ through vibrant health. Vibrant health is far more than simply the absence of disease. I help people to maximize their personal and health potential by nurturing their body, mind, heart and soul.
God bless
