Nathan Batalion CTN, certified traditional naturopath, was born in Germany into a Holocaust-surviving family. This influenced him to have intense compassion for species threatened and abused on our planet. Also, at age 12, Nathan was a math prodigy who later, at 17, had a stroke that caused his left brain to shut down and to see the world in an opposite right-brain, heart-centered way. He is author of 50 Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Foods (2000) and is completing his PhD  in environmental philosophy with a dissertation entitled Raw-Wisdom: Shifting from a Death to a Life Centered Vision of Nature.This outlines how to replace the modern dominance of a mechanical, math-based vision of nature that underlies GMO technologies, and the destruction of our planet's living environments, He also was a co-founder of the Gerson Healing Center in Sedona, AZ and has been a life-long activist, speaking at holistic conferences around the world. Nathan is currently chief editor of www.raw-wisdom.com  and www.healtingtalks.com, with nearly a thousand blog post,on health and environmental topics; plus heads the Raw-Wisdom Community (raw-vegan) in upstate NY; and model's the raw-vegan lifestyle health benefits as an age-group winning running athlete.
