In the first two years of our marriage, we were burdened by traumatic circumstances. In 2011, my wife was abducted right out of my car (my car taken as well) and she was held at ransom in a small municipality in Saint Louis. Her kidnappers threatened that they would "take her away where I would never see her again" if I did not shut my mouth. That night, I repeatedly demanded to have her back. They even fabricated drug paraphernalia and threatened to frame me for it. I remember praying so hard aloud with my brother, as they held my wife, cuffed. I stood my ground and my family paid ransom to get her back into my arms in the wee hours of the morning. The gang, wearing badges and police uniforms, had previously been convicted of raping women in the same basement we were held that night. Some of the other gang members with police uniforms we faced that night had been convicted of being unlicensed police officers. Some had previously been convicted of assault and battery and one was guilty of causing death to an escaping motorist. After we escaped that night and contacted the FBI, the operation was eventually shut down two years later. We were never compensated and had to deal with post traumatic stress from the experience.
Not long after the ordeal, my wife bore pain in her abdomen, water retention throughout her body, and painful ovarian cysts. So close to being raped or maybe sold into sex slavery, my wife struggled with infertility that year. We didn't eat the best foods up until this point and were oblivious to a wealth of information on nutrition and phyto-nutrients. This is when we began to aggressively research what we needed to do in order to restore our health. Our research led us to a world of health found in nutrition, detoxification, plant-based medicines, and a new way of thinking about cellular health, how to manage stress, and what to put in and on our bodies for increased vitality.
After six months of changing our lifestyle and confronting the stressors in our life, we began to see real results - the cleansing of our bodies, the restoration of our health, and a new standard of living. When we were ready, we welcomed our first child to the family in 2014 and it only took two months to conceive. During our health transformation, we were inspired to make our own body care products, with some of the healthiest, purest ingredients found in nature. We're so excited about these battle-tested formulas, we decided to share them with you!
For over five years, my wife and I have made it our personal mission to eliminate hormone-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, synthetic fragrances, and other toxic chemicals from the foods we eat and the personal care products we put on our bodies. We have improved our lives drastically, overcoming infertility, hormonal imbalance, ovarian cysts, sciatica pain, chronic sinusitis, and much more. We make our own body care products, cleaning solutions, and herbal medicines using safe and effective all natural ingredients.
Some of the changes we made include:

Some of the changes we made include:
- Proper hydration and water filtration: We use gravity-fed activated charcoal filters from Big Berkey for removal of heavy metals, arsenic, fluoride, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and herbicides, etc.
- Elimination of plastic water bottles and microwavable containers, which leech hormone disrupting phthalates into the water, especially when heat is applied.
- New dinner recipes that incorporate whole foods, vegetables, spices, and herbs.
- Reduction in refined sugars: We replace sugars and artificial sweeteners with stevia, a sweet plant-based extract.
- Elimination of artificial fragrances and hormone disrupting chemicals: We no longer use perfumes, artificial body sprays, or any synthetic scented products. We use plant based essential oils in their place.
- Incorporation of herbs, roots, seeds, barks, nuts, and berries into our life: We have incorporated at least 100 different plants into our life, to help our bodies heal.
- Reduction in processed foods, pasteurized cow milk, and meats made with sodium nitrite.
- Preparation of herbal tea combinations, herbal tinctures, and ground herbal supplements: We study and use the nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants that convey vitality to human cells and organ systems.
- Juices, smoothies, and nutrition shakes: These three methods of healthy food delivery have been instrumental in our health transformation.
- Vitamin D: Spending time outdoors in the sun activates our vitamin D levels. We use a good vitamin D supplement in the winter for improved mood and immunity.
- Adaptogens: Specific roots and mushrooms contain adaptogenic compounds that help the mind and the immune system respond more effectively to stress.
- Stress reduction techniques: Along our journey, we have cried out to God to help us through traumatic experiences. I have followed His voice through some of the most trying times.
