About Michael Edwards

Since deciding to become a Health Educator, I've attempted to gain as much knowledge and experience in "Wholistic Health and Wellness" as possible. I've continued to complete numerous certifications which enable me to provide up to date, well-rounded advice to clients and friends. It has enabled me to see through many falsehoods provided by numerous medical providers and "biased news outlets". Having studied research methods, it is easy to clear away the fog of false advertising, bogus studies and claims, and avoid the hazards of "modern(Western)medicine" with their promotion of dangerous treatments and drugs. The largest battle, is to instill motivation, courage, self-efficacy and self-determination in clients and the public at large, and combat the false and censored information provided by the current providers of "Sickcare" in the US.
