Dear Friends,

We are beginning to wake up.  We desperately need fresh air!
We are awakening to the understanding that life on earth has the power, in the way that it behaves, to alter the very composition of the gasses that make up the troposphere (the troposphere being the blanket of air covering the earth where all the weather [...]

Dear Friends,

To your right, the Spirit of the Northwoods greets you. Its home, the great Boreal Forest encircling the Artic.
In total, the boreal forest covers 6.41 million square miles. Also called the Taiga, it is found throughout the high latitudes between the tundra and the temperate forest,from about 50 degrees to 70 degrees North. In [...]

Dear Friends,

At this very moment I’m 30,000 feet over gorgeous northern California on my way to LA, thinking of all those people down there. What an awesome experience it must be to view mother earth from space. Astronauts have characterized it as a transcendental experience, giving them pause to think differently about their [...]

Dear Friends,

It’s spring.  It’s time to check out the soil, plant the garden, watch life sprout and grow.  Watch the biosphere do its thing.
Two questions for you: What is your definition of the biosphere?  How can a proper understanding of what the biosphere is, save us from extinction?
Here’s mine:  The biosphere is the biofilm of life on the [...]

Dear Friends,

Home, home on the range.  Where the deer and the antelope play.  Where seldom is heard a discouraging word.  And, the skies are not cloudy all day”—a verse from a good old American cowboy song from times gone bye.
Just imagine what the experience of Lewis and Clark must have been like as they crossed into the [...]

Dear Friends,

This gorgeous creature on the right is perhaps the most endangered mammal on the planet.  There are just a few left in the wilds.  This female and her cub were filmed by the Planet Earth documentary team—an extremely rare sighting.  Do you know the name of our beautiful animal?
Does it really matter if we loose [...]

Dear Friends,

As we gander out onto the savannahs of Africa, to the migrating herds of zebras, contemplating on the question—What makes food therapeutic?—we know the answer for the zebra’s food comes from high quality and high quantity grasslands.  Unfortunately, for ruminants, one-half of planet earth’s grasslands have disappeared in the last 100 years.  Habitats are vanishing, ecosystems collapsing—leaving 1/4 of the world’s mammals on the threatened list for [...]

Dear Friends,

What makes food therapeutic?
I guess that depends on where you reside in the food chain.  This amazing creature on the right is definately the consumate carnivore; and you wouldn’t want to be on its shopping list, for they seldom miss getting their prey. Their menu varies from gazelles to other antelopes, from warthogs to wildebeast calves and from rats to birds.
When it comes to us human beings, where [...]

Dear Friends,

What makes food therapeutic?
This is such an important question for us to focus on for a correct answer. For this knowledge can, if fully acted upon, solve many of our world most pressing problem— including that of our globe’s deteriorating health.
What’s your answer to this question, and how would it solve the worlds most urgent problems?  Here’s mine:
It [...]

Dear Friends,

Last week I lectured in Connecticut and Washington DC; in Bridgeport Naturopathic Medical School and George Washington University, for their fourth year premed students. We had a blast!  Last week I promised we will look further at Phyto Power, but lets look first at why we need it, which was what the lectures were [...]
