You might say the “Big O” is at the center of everything… And of course, that sudden release or wave of pleasure is what most of us crave most about sex. But is there something better? Something that’s even MORE satisfying? Truth is, nature provided us with a way of extending and prolonging the pleasure [...]
Shea butter, aloe vera, jojoba, chamomile… at one point, all of these seemed like exotic miracles to keep your skin soft and smooth. On my way to Durban, South Africa, I came across one of the best and most beautiful kinds of aloe, called aloe saponaria. It was growing wild along the roadside, so I [...]
Africa… there I was on the edge of the wildest spot in Tanzania, on the wildest continent left on Earth. To stand there on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater beside the Serengeti Plain… somehow, the wind, the sun, the sky, the clouds… they are unique. Only in Africa. I’ve never seen greens look greener, [...]
“I didn’t know SAM-e was so inexpensive!” K.B. is always cheerful, but she sounded even more happy than usual. I like when my employees are excited about our products. But they usually tell me how well Accel works, or rave about the new Pure Radiance mineral makeup. SAM-e doesn’t come up much. “I just went [...]
I feel like it’s 2 in the morning, instead of noon… I’ve been reviewing my little brown notebook, given to me by my staff, since I got back. I’ve got maps, tips on the Luganda language, and pages like these two, full of names and descriptions of herbs and healing plants. I just got back [...]
“It’s not very attractive… do people actually eat that as a potato?” I thought it looked more like a spiny beetroot than a potato. “They drink it. They make a tea from it.” I met with many herbalists in Uganda, and they told me what Dr. Josiah Kizito was doing down in South Africa. So [...]
When I first got to Ngorongoro, my eyes deceived me. The Ngorongoro lions are huge, with big, thick, dark, puffy manes. The darker the mane, the more mates a lion will have. From the lodge, you can see Lake Mugadi, and from that angle, because it’s closer to the lodge side, it looks like it [...]
I’ve been telling you stories and showing you photos from my trips through the rainforests in Africa. So it wouldn’t surprise me if you have the impression that I haven’t spent a minute out in the sun. But the truth is, the one constant in Africa is the sun. And I just read about another [...]
It’s kind of like when you take your brother to a party and he gets drunk and behaves poorly. You’re troubled because you think, “That guy’s more like me than anyone else can ever be. Am I really like that?” This chimp was staring at me so fiercely I couldn’t keep my camera still. I [...]
So far I’ve met with eight herbalists since I’ve been in Africa… but no one like Nakilija. Nakilija is unique because she’s a traditional herbalist who practices herbal medicine only through inspirations by God in her dreams. She has practiced herbal medicine for 70 years and specializes in remedies for miscarriages and women’s problems or [...]
Most doctors treat low estrogen as the sole cause of menopause. But looking at declining estrogen only gives you half the picture. At the onset of menopause, your body’s progesterone production falls to almost zero. Many women I measure have progesterone below the lowest detectable limit of the blood test. Having a healthy amount of [...]
When it comes to protein, some is good, but more is better. Eating it tells your body to dump the fat! What if the central point of the entire weight-loss industry were all wrong? Trainers and weight “specialists” tell you the only way to drop weight is to consume fewer calories or to melt more [...]
Frankenbug is loose on the farm, and no one knows what will happen next. A brand-new microscopic bug that never existed before in nature is now in animal feed that comes from genetically engineered crops. And this Frankenbug has been clearly linked to infertility and miscarriage in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and poultry.1 A letter [...]
A flower on the spiny, cactus-like Bushman’s Hat plant Dr. Mawanda saw growing on the side of the road in Africa. I was amazed he even spotted it! He’s a walking encyclopedia of herbs. I took a drive with him, and he recognized every plant and tree along the road. At one point, we even [...]
The Bwindi Community Hospital was a bumpy, rugged 12-hour drive from my home base near Kampala, Uganda. It’s about a mile from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where I went on my gorilla trek. The hospital cares for many of the Batwa, possibly the Earth’s oldest people, who lived in the forest until they were forced [...]
Today I’m in East London, South Africa, meeting with Doctor Josiah Kizito. He’s well-known as a researcher and expert in natural healing methods, and especially in the use of African healing plants. But he’s more than just an herbalist. Dr. Kizito also runs a hospice that cares for hundreds of people suffering from AIDS. The [...]
