Detox Nutritionalist, Raw Food Consultant, Retreat FacilitatorDao Earl Dao's central understanding is that we are creatures of the Earth, with billions of years of experience as animals, and a brief 10,000 years pretending we’re not. He lost interest in the ancient medical systems he studied, because none of them asked the question of why we needed them. The most obvious departure we have made from nature is cooking, and while it may have been necessary for our survival then, it is now up for question.
