I'm a doctor of naturopathy and founding minister of Essentials of Life Holistic Enrichment Center. I was introduced to vegetarianism in 1968 and stopped eating meat at that time. I was 14. I have been vegan niw for a number of years and embrace the raw vegan lifestyle of natural health. We prepare and serve raw vegan meals at all our events. We are an interspiritual holistic healing church teaching people to teach people to teach!
