Hi, my name is Greg Traver and I am your host here at Organic Gardening For Life. My intent is to write with the beginner in mind as well the experienced grower looking for new practical information in a interactive environment. For those who have no experience with organic gardening it can be a daunting challenge to learn what works versus the marketing hype. How did I learn so much about organic gardening and sustainabile agriculture? I was twenty nine years old robust and a rowdy kind of guy but that changed literally overnight when I began hemorrhaging. Awakened in the night with an urgent call to the restroom I laid it off to some excess of food or drink until an hour alter when I was up again. What I thought was Montezuma’s revenge was actually internal bleeding of dozens and dozens of ulcerous lesions throughout my colon. After two weeks in the hospital I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I had two surgeries and eight hospitalizations that very first year. 1991 was not a great year for me. It was a terrible, painful, fearful and confusing time. I was taking a total of eight different prescription drugs. Some were even prescribed to deal with the debilitating side effects of others. Three years into the fun and games I decided that if I was going to be sick, that was one thing, but I wasn’t going to kill myself off anymore with the debilitating side effects of these very intense drugs. So I flushed them down the toilet. The problem with drugs like prednisone you just do not decide to go cold turkey! I tell you this so that you don’t make the same type of mistake. I was very fortunate but you may not be. That was the first of many of trail and errors in my pursuit to get some kind of control over my health and have a life. After some time I realized that I was getting my mental focus back and got some clarity. I began reading everything I could find about alternatives to chemically based medicines.My first great discovery and what was key in my recovery was juicing I will never forget the day I brought home my first juicing machine. I chose Red Delicious apples for the inaugural run. Wow! It was a most pleasurable euphoric rush of energy and it changed my life. I have had many juice cleanses over the years and experimented with several different cleansing and detox methods. Some were very uncomfortable and invasive others had little if any noticeable effect. My latest cleanse started just over a month ago when I had realized that my body was sending me familiar signals.

This is my favorite place to find herbal information. Look up information on specific herbs, find herbal remedies for specific ailments and learn to make your own tinctures, oils, salves, infusions, etc...Home Herbal Remedies Info I hope you enjoy your visit to Organic Gardening For Life.
