WARNING…THIS Raw juice blog can be opinionated, explicit & raw. “The universities do not teach all things, so a doctor must seek out old wives, gypsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveler… Knowledge is experience.” Paracelsus

Somewhere between shadow banning, trolls and an orthodox naturopathic degree, my outspoken heart-voice was muted. Publicly, but especially on so-called naturopathic forums. That was until I made peace with being disliked for speaking sense!

Below are some hard-hitting “real naturo” beliefs we live by at the Naturo Clinic.

“The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions”

Most natural health practitioners get stuck delivering average, short-term results. Why? Because they’re running on good intentions and shallow foundations, of what they were taught at universities. I should know as I was one of them. For the first five years of my career, my clients saw mediocre, temporary change. I followed the script. Today they see curative miraculous results because I follow what works.

It wasn’t until I unlearnt most of what my degree drilled into me; via a breatharian initiation, and the integration of Naturo-Therapy and Quantum Coaching with traditional practices like diet, herbs, and lifestyle that real, lasting outcomes emerged. The transformation in clinical results is night and day.

“Pharmaceutical Medicine Has Its Place”

I’m not anti-pharma. Emergency medicine saves lives. In a society that is lacking in collective empathy, pharmaceuticals protect the vulnerable. Back in 2010, I worked in a psychiatric facility with patients experiencing paranoid schizophrenia. Antipsychotics weren’t optional; they were the thin line between safety (theirs and mine) and violence.

That said, when it comes to general mental health, if you don’t have grounding tools like those in the RN-Cleanse, sometimes nothing hits like a Valium. Pharmaceuticals are a crutch, useful, but temporary whilst you develop emotional resilience and lifestyle tools needed to actually heal. Herbs and naturo therapy help bridge that gap, supporting autonomy.

“Satisfaction Over Pleasure Always”

In a world hooked on quick dopamine hits and TikTok “life hacks,” satisfaction has been lost to the pursuit of pleasure. Buddhist equanimity changed my life. In 2011, a renegade doctor led me to a monastery where weekly mantras delivered powerful transmissions. That same year, unfortunately I plunged into neotantra, chasing ecstatic bliss and emerged raw, cracked open. But still far from real naturo.

Neotantra fed and later exposed my addiction to the chase of feeling good all the time. It wasn’t until years later on the breatharian path, that I returned to stillness and found a zen state of peace. Taoist practices eventually addressed my self avoidance. These are filtered through the Naturo Method to help those stuck in victim mentality or disillusioned by new-age spirituality, back to centre. Sassi workshops also help women reclaim their satisfaction beyond the “bliss-chase”.

“Science Is Limited. Psychedelics Might Save Us.”

I used to get annoyed by psychedelic mushroom and ayahuasca “shamans” who’d done a single weekend in Peru. Since covid, I’ve changed my mind.

In a society engineered to numb, distract and fragment us through screens, meds, and debt psychoactive plants might be the slap-in-the-face awakening many need. Mushrooms, ayahuasca, iboga they’re not magic bullets, but they can break the trance. That said, most self-proclaimed shamans are frauds. Do your due diligence.

Psychedelics offer an experience not the whole journey. Real healing is what happens after the trip, in the slow integration, in the choices you make daily.

Maybe the future lies in the hands of empowered women, funghi and the brave. What do you think? Let me know below.
