Ask Herbal Health Expert Susun Weed & Holistic Health Scientist Richard Sacks

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Richard Sacks. Richard Sacks is the Host of Lost Arts Radio, which has shows relating to health and consciousness issues, from personal to worldwide to cosmic in scope.  He has been an independent holistic health scientist for more than 50 years, working on natural means of reversing supposedly "incurable" diseases, many of the problems connected with "aging," as well as natural ways to maximize immunity to infectious diseases and man-made environmental toxins without poisonous drugs or potentially deadly vaccines.  All of his discoveries he has applied to his own body with very dramatic results, and now lives this ongoing research 24/7.  Besides his full time radio work and some limited private consulting, Richard is also completing a PhD project on the holistic cure of cancer.  He is also working on plans to build a major educational facility in the U.S., where forbidden knowledge about our real abilities and connections to Nature is demonstrated and experienced.  Until that school is physically built, he shares the knowledge from his decades of research with his private consulting clients and his radio audience.  While Richard is conversant with modern science, his work has also been deeply affected by memory of several times before this current lifetime, one of which was at the end of the Essene period.  His purpose is to give individuals the tools they need to radically upgrade their own health and awareness, as well as to help avert the global future that our rulers are pushing us toward.  He says a better fate for humanity is possible, and is in our hands, and within our ability, to create."
