Plant Base

I founded Plant Base to share my healing journey and to help others heal naturally with plant-based organic solutions that benefit the mind, body, and soul. In 1994, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, which caused daily pain in all my joints. By 1999, the disease had destroyed the cartilage in my hips, leading to the need for prosthetic hips at age 17. Despite treatments, I faced constant pain, inflammation, and flare-ups. At 22, becoming a father added significant mental stress, which I noticed triggered physical flare-ups, highlighting the link between mental and physical health and how mental stress can cause a negative physical reaction. At 26 my rheumatologist told me that I would be on Enbrel or another immunosuppressant for the rest of my life but this made me question why I needed to suppress my immune system. I realized that God didn’t design our bodies to attack themselves; it must be something in my food intake causing the issue and the mental stress. I turned to a homeopathic approach, which was more affordable than paying out of pocket after losing my health insurance. By eating organic foods and using natural remedies, I lost weight and reduced inflammation. I discovered that genetically modified wheat, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and harmful oils were the main contributors to my inflammation and problems. Managing my mental health with marijuana and minimizing stress also prevented flare-ups as well. Now at 42, I’m in the best shape of my life. the realization that God has given us the ability to heal ourselves through plant-based organic solutions and our powerful minds is the message to Share!
