My purpose for the site:

I want to show that living naturally is better for you, your family and pets, just as convenient and in most cases more economic than the current chemical, drug and fast food dependent state we find ourselves in.

There is lots of talk about global warming, environmental issues, pollution (think indoors more so than outside) saving the planet and so on. All noble sentiments, and I agree something must be done about it, but what is the sacrifice to you and me?

Actually, you can live better naturally — healing yourself, family and the planet. With the information I want to share on this site, it really is in your own self interest to make these new informed choices.

Dr Good

The name came from the travelling medicine shows of the Old West (USA). Then they were selling all kinds of concoctions as the newfangled “patent medicine”.

Today its time for a new travelling medicine show — Living Better - Naturally — bringing together the best of the old and the latest discoveries of today for natural health; eco-safe, eco-friendly and non-toxic home care; and natural pet care.

Something Can Be Done

You don’t have to live in the sea of chemicals most people do. Prescription drugs to deal with the symptoms caused by toxic cleaning chemicals, air fresheners, and bug sprays used every day at home and at work, and the poisonous pesticides we put on our cats and dogs. The chemicals in all processed foods: artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners, emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, hydrogenated oils, artificial fillers, the list goes on.

This is a picture of the young Dr & Mrs Good (nom de plume of course. I lost her to cancer 10 years ago. She was only 27. That got me started questioning the whole “better living through chemistry” propaganda pushed with such vigor on T.V. radio and magazines and newspapers.

After Mrs Good died, I threw myself into human rights advocacy work initially in the field of mental health and then into other areas of law (no, I’m not a lawyer).

What I saw there was a lot of cases of people who’d made poor health and life choices being routinely diagnosed and forcibly treated as mentally ill when in fact they weren’t. Proper medicine of the T.V. “House” variety was what was really needed, followed by a bit of education on making better life choices.

Again “The answer to all of your life’s problems is in this little pill / injection.” just wasn’t true.

This work as you can imagine was intensely stressful. Dealing with patients in a bad way, dealing with bureaucracy, dealing with intractable psychiatirsts and other doctors who didn’t want to get involved, dealing with fund raising issues so I could get my expenses paid — no wages. We were an NGO who didn’t accept government funding and all the political strings that were attached.

Then there was the battle between a lifetime’s habits (meet at Macca’s? Great!) (OF COURSE I WANT FRIES WITH THAT!) and what I’ve been learning. Got up to 130 kg. Now I’m down to 100 kg.

So today I’ve learned a lot. Now I’m practising, experimenting and sharing the results.

Save the Planet? Great idea. Save ourselves by doing so? Even better!
