Turmeric: Nature ’s Miracle Root for Disease
My friends Lelir and Westi in Bali don’t like to go to doctors. Nature is their pharmacy. You see, Lelir is a Balian. That means “herbal healer.” And Westi’s plantation is bursting with healing plants.  But one plant stands out above all the others. Lelir uses it to make a daily immune-boosting elixir as well as an anti-aging facial scrub. Balians use it as an antibiotic and for liver support. They boil it with milk and sugar to treat the common cold and allergies. Rural doctors make it into a paste with lime to ease sore joints. They make drinks to treat fevers and stomach pain. They mix it wi...

The Disturbing Secret Behind The World’s Most Expensive Coffee
This post originally appeared on National Geographic.  It’s the world’s most expensive coffee, and it’s made from poop. Or rather, it’s made from coffee beans that are partially digested and then pooped out by the civet, a catlike creature. A cup of kopi luwak, as it’s known, can sell for as much as $80 in the United States.  Found in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the civet has a long tail like a monkey, face markings like a raccoon, and stripes or spots on its body. It plays an important role in the food chain, eating insects and small reptiles in addition to fruits lik...

Where Nutrients Come From
The world we live in is nothing like the environment our ancient ancestors thrived in. In their world, they got all the nutrients they needed from food. Toxic Food The commercially processed meats we eat are loaded with toxins. Our soil has lost nutrients at a staggering rate. And this decline in soil quality is robbing our food of all nutrition. Let me give you a couple of examples… Compared to Big Agra’s cultivated white potato, a wild Peruvian potato has 166 times more nutrients[i]!  These include the antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids that give the wild potato its purple color. And there’s a species...

Stress and Diabetes: Cause, Prevention, Natural Treatment
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, mainstream medicine treats you as if you have an incurable disease. It’s like they’re saying, “Now you’re a diabetic… that’s who you are… and that’s who you’ll always be.” diabetes mellitus This approach is dead-wrong. How does diabetes develop? Adult diabetes is not something wrong with you. It’s not that you were born cursed to develop it. It develops because of lifestyle choices and environmental factors. And it CAN be reversed. And here’s something you probably don’t know: Mainstream medicine’s atti...

Bali Natural Herbs and Their Uses
It’s here, and it’s beautiful! The first printing of my newest book, Healing Herbs of Paradise, just arrived. I haven’t felt this proud since I opened my Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. The vibrant colors and authentic photography set this book apart. How can a book measure up to an entire wellness clinic, you ask? Well, it’s the end result of a lifelong challenge I’ve given myself… to bring ancient healing knowledge to people like you all over the world. As modern medicine continues to make “advances,” I cringe as more and more knowledge is left by the wayside. Tra...

Why is the butterfly pea flower effective?
If you have been following my story, you know I love traveling. One reason is I love to explore. Another reason? I love to eat! One of the great things about traveling the world is getting to sample the local cuisine. When I was living with the Guarani tribe in Peru, I drank beer made of yucca root that the native women spit into the ground and let ferment. I ate raw worms and grubs. I’ve eaten the “Food of the Gods” in the Amazon. An incredible fruit called cupuaçu that tastes like a heavenly blend of chocolate and vanilla. I’ve sampled so many unusual foods that it’s hard to surprise me. But that&...

Research Article Gradual caldera collapse at Bárdarbunga volcano, Iceland, regulated by lateral magma outflow
Large volcanic eruptions on Earth commonly occur with a collapse of the roof of a crustal magma reservoir, forming a caldera. Only a few such collapses occur per century, and the lack of detailed observations has obscured insight into the mechanical interplay between collapse and eruption. We use multiparameter geophysical and geochemical data to show that the 110-square-kilometer and 65-meter-deep collapse of Bárdarbunga caldera in 2014–2015 was initiated through withdrawal of magma, and lateral migration through a 48-kilometers-long dike, from a 12-kilometers deep reservoir. Interaction between the pressure exerted by...

Why All Women Need To Travel Solo At Least Once In Their Life
I held my first Women's Wellness Retreat at The Warwick in Fiji in January 2015, located on its very own beach on the famous Coral Coast. Fast forward to mid-2016, and I'm preparing for Retreat No.6 at Warwick Ibah in Ubud, Bali, located on sacred royal grounds. These retreats have attracted women aged between 25-69 from all over the world and from different walks of life. Some have joined me twice, some three times, and some even four, and these are women who initially came to me saying: "I would love to join a retreat but I can't do it alone." "I have never done anything like this before but know I need to." "I want th...
