## Resource

In this episode, AC & Isaac welcome natural healing practitioner and teacher Peter Jackson-Main to discuss Natural Healing, his background in the Dr. John Christopher lineage, founding The Natural Center in the UK, and his clinical approach using structured case-taking alongside tongue and pulse diagnosis and iridology. They focus on what detoxification is, why it matters in a toxic environment, and how he supports organ-by-organ elimination (bowel, kidney, liver, lymph), including a gentler polarity-based liver flush using apple juice, lemon, garlic, ginger, olive oil, and a dandelion-root detox tea, plus seasonal timing in spring and autumn. Peter contrasts herbs with supplements, emphasizes patient commitment in chronic illness, and shares views on fasting as spiritual and physical medicine. He previews his forthcoming book The Medicine of Plants on ecology, exchange with plants, and plant intelligence, and shares favorite allies like astragalus, burdock, nettle, artemisia, and horsetail. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:34 Guest Intro and Announcements 03:01 Defining Natural Healing 04:29 Origin Story and Training 08:33 Building the Natural Centre 10:25 Herbal Preparations and Teas 12:51 Clinical Intake and Intuition 20:56 Detox Basics and Rationale 23:58 Organ by Organ Detox Strategy 28:41 Liver Flush Protocol 34:55 Seasonal Detox and Herb Choices 36:16 Warming Detox Tea 37:25 Fasting Basics and Benefits 40:17 Fasting as Whole-Being Practice 41:17 Handling Chronic Illness Cases 46:01 Eclectic Herbal Lineage 47:50 Rethinking Research and Reality 51:45 Supplements Versus Living Herbs 55:00 Plant Allies and Local Substitutes 58:47 New Book The Medicine of Plants 01:04:44 Closing and Where to Find Him
