Goal: How can we repair and maintain excellent skin, teeth, gum and hair health and avoid carcinogenic and toxic skin care products which can lead to inflammation and a host of autoimmune and metabolic diseases.

Pursuit: Ensure that everything you put onto your skin or on gums or hair that you can actually safely swallow it, digest and metabolise it safely. Making sure your skin care products are not only vegan and organic and cold pressed but also are edible. If you can eat it then why put on your skin.

Evaluation: How is your skin, hair and nails? if there are some issues presenting in these areas, it is a very good indication that there is something going wrong internally or you are not feeding and reseeding the integumentary system with medicinal organic products.
