for wise living
Join the wise GO NATURAL health revolution! What I learned transformed my life forever – now it can transform yours. I am Johan Jacobs, the founder of GO NATURAL. GO NATURAL is the culmination of my incredible journey towards healing after I had been diagnosed with the debilitating disease multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, even though I was fit, healthy and in the prime of my life at that time. MS is usually a death sentence, as it slowly erodes the body, leading to disability and ultimately to death. The devastating news drove me to earnestly seek for the cause of this disease. It was a long and gruelling journey, but the breakthrough finally came. As I searched deeper and wider, I discovered that not only MS but a plethora of “dis-ease” conditions are ultimately caused by an unwise, quick-fix and toxically laden lifestyle. I further discovered that radical changes to our unhealthy toxic lifestyles would not only prevent “dis-ease” but also cure existing ones. My wake-up call encouraged me to make a total lifestyle upgrade. After much reading and research on the topic of healthy, natural living, my family and I made a 180-degrees turn in terms of lifestyle and diet. We walked away from the typical “box-food” – refined, toxic, chemically laden, processed diet and lifestyle – to a natural and nutritious way of living. I was horrified as I realized just how our bodies are bombarded with destructive, unnatural substances, like preservatives, colorants, artificial flavourings, taste enhancers, pesticides, sugars and an endless array of refined, oxidised, processed and nutrient-deficient foods. However, my horror was soon replaced with excitement and an eager anticipation of restored and sustained health, as I discovered the natural way of living that we were created to live. A diet consisting of fresh, wholesome, natural, unprocessed, nutrient-rich foods is designed to provide our bodies with the necessary ammunition to heal itself and remain healthy. My desire and goal at GO NATURAL is firstly to expose the lies and deceptions in our food-chain which are all hidden in clever marketing strategies. Secondly to expose these harmful, toxic foods and substances, and to inform and educate the individual in the truths of healthy and natural living. Here at GO NATURAL you will find the various lifestyle methodologies, skills and products I used to restore myself to optimum health.

I wrote this book as an expression of my gratitude for what had happened in my life. It is a synthesis formed through events that equipped me to understand and appreciate my health as a wonderful gift from God our Creator. Today I cannot imagine living a different life. This book contains a wealth of information that I have accumulated over the years. It began with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and the accompanying muscular degeneration and suffering, and then the amazing path to recovery. The reader will join me as we take a closer look at our modern changed environment, our eating habits, our lifestyle, and the way we work with food. We will pay specific attention to the food industry, farming practices, the health industry and health philosophies. Then we will move on to discover what toxins are and the effects they have on us. Building on the above information we will then shift the focus to solutions. We will discuss the natural healing process of the body, and what our responsibilities are in assisting in this process. Today there are numerous diets and fads to select from, but we will wisely sift through them all. The kitchen is the engine room of the home and family; the ten most important factors in the kitchen that contribute to our health will be discussed. We will also look at spiritual and emotional health, and at wisdom to be gained from the Bible as well as historical sources. All this will lead up to a holistic approach with simple and practical guidelines for a healthy lifestyle. The book concludes with some really beneficial tips and suggestions for wise living. The recipe section includes favourites such as biltong and droëwors as well as tasty desserts and other snacks. The list of recommended sources leads the reader to the wealth of literature relating to these themes. My health history from birth until where I am now, is recounted throughout the book. I have included this to encourage others finding themselves in similar difficult circumstances to take on the challenge of natural health and pursue the best possible solutions. Johan Jacobs
