Herbs For Athletes

You Become What You Eat

Herbs for Athletes is your guide to herbs, foods, and supplements that improve athletic performance. But it's more than that. It's also your guide to real-world health and the obstacles to it.

Herbs for Athletes is for everyone who cares about health, and understands that doctors don't pay off huge student loans, mortgages, fine cars and country club dues by keeping their patients healthy.

Trust me, I'm not a doctor

I do believe that most doctors went to medical school with good intentions. But come on, we have the most expensive healthcare in the world, by far, and we're what, 37th in quality of healthcare? "Dead" last of 19 leading industrialized nations in preventable deaths due to treatable conditions?

It's not just doctors, of course. Big Pharma and the insurance industry are the true villians. But it's doctors, who supposedly took an oath to "do no harm", who have effectively demonized natural and alternative healthcare in this country.

There are notable exceptions, of course, like Al Sears, Russell Blaylock, Jonathan Wright, and Joseph Mercola. But the overwhelming majority of doctors just find it easier, safer (for them), and more lucrative to push drugs and surgery.

And if you thought drugs and surgery were the answer you wouldn't still be reading this.

Medical schools don't teach nutrition, and doctors don't want to know. Because that don't pay the bills...

If you want to be healthy, truly healthy, you have to assume the responsibility for it. You can't trust it to your doctor, the food or drug industries, or any government agency. All you are to them is the bottom line. And their bottom line is healthier if you're not.

It aint rocket science.

I've been using and researching herbs for athletes and nutritional supplements for over 30 years. I'm 59, haven't seen a doctor (except for lasik surgery) or filled a prescription in over 20 years. I'm in near-perfect health, and survived 25+ years of distance running with no residual physical issues. And I party far more than most of you reading this.

I know for a fact my genes are nothing special, so good nutrition is the only reasonable explanation. I know what's worked for me. Maybe something on this site will work for you too.
