Herbert McGolfin Shelton, N.D., (October 6, 1895 – January 1, 1985) was an American naturopath, alternative medicine advocate, author, pacifist, vegetarian, supporter of rawism and fasting. Shelton was nominated by the American Vegetarian Party to run as its candidate for President of the United States in 1956. He saw himself as the champion of original Natural hygiene ideas from the 1830s.
My name is Walt F.J. Goodridge, author and publisher of the Ageless Adept™ series of books. I'm here to prove a point!
Years ago, before I became vegan, a friend asked a question over lunch I couldn't answer. He asked, "Do you know what's in the food you're eating?" I most certainly did not, and it bothered me that I didn't, and so--with health, longevity and vitality as my goals--I dedicated my life to a search for answers and ultimately to "share what I know, so that others may grow."
My childhood in the Caribbean steeped in me an understanding of and reverence for our natural world of sunshine, water, earth, air and time. As an adult, I discovered that what passes as normal health and healing in the western paradigm is shockingly unnatural! It never made sense to me that we should need to turn to men in lab coats with pills in search of wellness. It makes more sense that Nature would have the answers built in; our bodies would have an innate healing code; and that our "operations manual" would be simple and foolproof.
Through my own experiments, testimonials of others of like mind, and corroboration of researchers from this and previous eras, I've realized that the symptoms we as a society accept as a "normal" aging are the body's reactions to unnatural habits of ingesting pharmaceuticals, fake food with non-food ingredients, pesticides, hormones, steroids and antibiotics, as well as other environmental factors. Some of the habits may be hard to break, but are ultimately under our control. And, if the causes are controllable, then the effects are not inevitable and may even be reversible! That's what I'm here to prove!
I've distilled my results into a philosophy with information I hope will (1) empower you to become your own authority in matters of health, and (2) make better survival choices from among the products and practices you'll encounter on your own path!
