Our Mission

My passion for healing and my passion for jazz music infuse my life’s work, so much so that I cannot imagine one without the other.

Beethoven said, “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the human spirit lives, thinks and invents in.” But first, we must learn to listen.

Low levels of nitric oxide can lead to vessel constriction, vascular inflammation, and compromised cardiovascular health. An easy and nutritious way to boost blood levels of nitric oxide is to consume beets. Beet kvass is easy to make and is a delightful adjunct to a rich meal, as well as a simple, nourishing daily tonic.

When managing cancer, we need every possible advantage. Cancer cells are resilient—they undergo genetic changes that provide them with protection and camouflage, and at the same time they acquire properties that enable them to overcome the body’s defense systems. They can even manipulate the immune system to aid cancer growth while suppressing what would otherwise be adversarial to the cancer. Botanical medicines and their selective compounds have the unique ability to address these issues, while concurrently strengthening the host and microenvironment.
