Our Sponsor, Peter Simon
A warm welcome to our well known sponsor, Peter Simon, a nationally acclaimed photographer, photojournalist, author, music historian, instructor, and the son of Richard Simon, co - founder of Simon & Schuster. Peter, through his talents, is capturing the imagery and story of a silent epidemic, which is affecting nearly 30% of the world population. It is by no accident that Peter landed with us here. Fate brought him here with a job to do, a job that is truly Peter's specialty. He has personally suffered for over 10 years from a condition caused by taking too many antibiotics, known as systemic candida. Read More about Peter

Dawne Vrabel, HHP, AADP
Nutritional Adviser
Dawne Vrabel, an Integrative Nutrition practitioner, Certified Herbologist and Molecular Biologist healed herself from Candida. After one year on birth control and 2 rounds of antibiotics, food allergies began developing as skin rashes which she was then prescribed steroids for. She spent 5 years researching and healing herself with foods and herbs and has now returned to a normal diet. Dawne now passionately guides and empowers her clients through the healing journey.
Dawne is the Co-Leader of the Holistic Moms Network, Monmouth County, NJ Chapter. This is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization which can be found at holisticmoms.org . She is also a Reiki Master and Teacher. Dawne is a Co-Founder of Citizens for GMO Free World and Life Health Choices Speaker and Food Advocate.
Dawne's message to us is clear. "Make conscious medical decisions and empower yourself with knowledge, ask questions, trust your intuition and your body's innate healing ability more than a pill. Be very aware of the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs, risks known and unknown. Listen to your body and do what you can to nutritionally and naturally support it through any medical process."
Her nutritional newletter for our website will be published in late Autumn.
