About Me

The author of this website, GR, has a bachelor's degree in English, a minor in Asian studies from Weber St. University, a master's in management from the Univ. of Phoenix, and a master's degree in strategic public relations from George Washington University (he missed co-valedictorian by .03%), graduating second in his class with a 3.97 GPA. He also has a practitioner certificate in NLP.

He thought seriously about getting a master’s degree in herbal medicine when younger but changed his mind.

Nevertheless, as a health enthusiast, and for personal enrichment, he's been studying alternative health, medicinal herbs, and homeopathic medicine continuously for over two decades.

Some of his favorite things in life are Jamba Juice, softball, dogs, cats, scuba diving, the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings, Utah Jazz, beautiful sunsets, Maui, writing, history, classical guitar, great music, Star Trek, space stuff, good humor, good movies, good books, good food, good conversations and good friends.

Oh, he also likes writing in the third person! :)

You can reach him, if you're so inclined, at:

(Gladiator is his favorite movie of all time hence "gladiator" in the email address. It was almost Godfather363 or heaven forbid StarWarsFan363!! The "363" is a personal, mnemonic code.)

Yours in health,

I get a lot of emails from people asking me questions about how cayenne can help with their health problems.

While I always enjoy getting emails from people all over the world via this site, I have to say that while I do want to help people I am not a doctor and it is literally illegal for anyone to give medical advice without being a licensed physician.

My formal education is in communications not medicine.

The American government demonizes and prosecutes medicinal herbalists, naturopathic health professionals, and even medicinal herb enthusiasts like me.

I don't want to be one of those so prosecuted.

The law allows me and others to share educational information and personal experiences and that is what I will continue to do until the U.S. federal government takes that right away too, which I'm sure they would love to do so as to preserve the highly profitable healthcare business in America.

So, if you want to email me asking for medical advice, I must ask you to not do so. If you have a health condition, I strongly encourage you to see a licensed doctor. I have never diagnosed or prescribed anything and never will.

I have enthusiasm for naturopathic and herbal medicine as I know it works for I've personally experienced it many times, which is one of the reasons why I created this site in October 2007. Nevertheless, traditional western medicine is a great blessing too, e.g., modern-day anesthesia and should be utilized for optimum health.

My best to you in your personal health journey.
