Herbalist Dean Martens may not have found the elixir of life, but much like a modern-day alchemist, he knows he found the formula for health.

This "Taking Responsibility" video contains a valuable sharing of information on how Dean martens, CH, received his health back from two so-called scientifically incurable diseases; rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, along with arrhythmia, systemic candidiasis, colitis and ulcers. These diseases were the reason for his transition from stockbroker to financier to health detective and finally "Medicine Man."

"Only the body can heal the body" says Martens in his lecture. When herbs are combined with lifestyle changes, this synergy greatly assists the body's ability in cleansing, rebuilding its energies and immune system and ultimately rebalancing itself. Allopathic sciences can work well in patching, cutting, sewing and suppressing in order to assist the body in staying alive during acute pathologies. But now it is understood how we can assist the body immeasurably in healing itself. Natural law is the ultimate Doctor (teacher) which, when understood and used, brings back and maintains great health. This pertains to almost all people, not just some groups which certain philosophies contend.

His major studies were from Hippocrates, Galen, Tilden, Kellogg, Graham, Herbert Shelton, Ann Wigmore, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Bernard Jensen, Barbara Brennan, Michael Moore, Vasant Lad and Hahneman. His Clinical Herbalist certification is from the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine.
