Raw Water is Now Available!
I am deep into the middle of my California “Shamanic Nutrition and Human Regeneration” Tour, and things have been nothing shy of epic!
Between events I have been visiting hotsprings, coldsprings, forests and oceans! Northern California is amongst the most beautiful places I have ever seen! Special thanks to everyone who has been a part of this incredible experience!
Equally exciting, while I have been traveling we have launched Raw Water!
Here is a video we made about it with Matt Monarch while traveling in LA! This video contains information which could potentially change the way that the entire Water industry operates.
It could change the way you interact with Water yourself forever!
Thanks for taking a few minutes to check it out! ~Daniel
Stalking the Wild Chaga!
You have been asking, so here it is!
My first Wild Mushroom foraging video!
One cold snowy day in New England I took my camera into the wilds in search of the Wild Chaga!
Inonotus Obliquus, the “Clinker” polypore… better known as Chaga is by far my most favorite of the medicinal fungi. You could call it a Totem for me. For years I have been harvesting this prized medicinal from the Wilds, and now I will show you how you can too!
Chaga, like many of the Polypore Mushrooms, are extremely rich in the long chain Beta-Glucan sugars that have long been known to powerfully modulate the human Immune System. While it has been used in many cultures, it is most well known for its value to the Siberians who have been the keepers of wisdom with regard to its immune enhancing and anti-cancer properties.
I consider it one of the true secrets of Invincible Health and Longevity!
More than that, I would say it is one of the Earth’s greatest tonic adaptogens. By this I mean it can be taken daily without and concerns of overdose. It is completely nontoxic and increases our bodies ability to cope with a myriad of stressors. Not just mental stress, but physical, emotional, and according to the reports of the ancients (in addition to my own experience) even those things that challenge us spiritually as well!
What’s more, Chaga is the richest naturally occurring source of antioxidants found anywhere! Thats right its ORAC is higher than blueberries, acai, and even cacao! This is evidenced in the rich orange color of its interior flesh.
Chaga is found (almost) exclusively on birch trees, and despite that fact that there are some companies who have cultivated its mycelia artificially, is most potent and active when it is wild crafted. For those who cannot access it in the wild, SurThrival sells the worlds premium, double extracted, wild-crafted chaga powder.
These capsules are are extracted in both alcohol and hot water to yield the most complete medicinal preparation available anywhere. These are a great value, and though I harvest my own, I still consume these on a regularly. They are perfect when I am traveling and teaching, or anytime when making tea for 2 hours isn’t an option. I love to open the capsules and take the powder directly.
The taste is intense and reveals the potency of the formula!
In the coming video post I will be turning this harvest into a decoction (tea) and using it to prepare a superfood elixir! The tea is so flavorful, and unlike most medicinal fungi it doens’t have that charactorisitc mushroom flavor. Instead it tastes like maple/vanilla! It is a perfect base for blended drinks, and fully supports the path of personal adaptation and physical reclamation.
It is an ideal compliment to your re-wilding strategy!
Stay tuned for the next installment!
Thank you for sharing your time! Your presence here is appreciated! ~Daniel
You Can Harvest Wild Rice!
Ever wonder where Wild Rice comes from?
These are the final two videos from the series I shot with Arthur Haines, Botonist and Wild Foods Expert and Primitive Skills Master! When he wants to eat Wild Rice he doesn’t go to the market or health food store, he goes to into the Wilds!
For much of the year Wild Rice has formed a significant part of my diet and I recommend it to my friends and clients often as a commercially available source of Wild Food! For countless generations it served as a staple food crop to many indigenous peoples of North America.
Arthur and his crew harvest enough each season to last them through the year, and they process all of it by hand! This is more than interesting, it is an education in how you can get started too!
Special thanks to both Arthur and the Maine Primitive Skills School for introducing me to him! I will be taking part in a 3 day course this weekend with them on Winter Survival Skills, and I will be sure to get lots of great footage!
Also, there are just a few days left to grab your discounted tickets to Eden Hot Springs (seriously)! Don’t miss this chance to soak in these Wild Waters!
And, if you love Arthur let him know by leaving your comments! If all goes well we will offer a foraging class sometime this summer!
Thank You for reading this and for all your support! This is for you! ~Daniel

Invincible Health Audio Course is Now Available
I get email almost every day asking if I offer an “apprenticeship” program. Though I don’t, there are some Fundamental Concepts that I would like to share with people.
In the meantime…. And for those of you who have been asking, here is the first “Apprenticeship” program I have offered. I say that because this is the core information that Informs all of my Teaching, as well as my Personal Strategy.
Today is the official launch of my Invincible Health Audio Program. It is also the Information I shared only Privately in my Coaching Sessions with the Rare Few that I worked with One-on-One.
It is a system of Nutritional and Health Wisdom/Mastery based on the Timeless understanding of the Elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.
Here is the synopsis. We have nutritional needs beyond food. We also must consume Water, Air, and Light each day also. We could see it like this: Consuming Food= Earth, Liquids= Water, Breathing= Air, and Light=Fire. We don’t just consume the Elements, we also Eliminate them as they come back out of us each day as our body cleanses itself.
The course is centered around a “Glyph”, an image that is used to access and imprint the subconscious. It is a combination of old Alchemical and Taoist Symbology with a modern interpretation. This makes for a very unique learning experience.
I have Consciously Crafted this Health System to make understanding your bodies needs simple, once and for all! It is my goal to Empower everyone around me to Thrive, and to develop True Health Sovereignty.
The reason is obvious… Health information is getting far too confusing. I felt it was time for something that wasn’t a nutrition fad, diet, or trend. Something timeless. Something solid. Something that our ancestors practiced. Something that works and is easy to employ.
I have also included some great bonus material that shows you how to use the same system for deep cleansing as well as for an evolved form of daily hygiene!
Also we have included an option to get my ElixirCfraft Mastery Course at a deeeeep discount, so check that out too!
Click HERE to be taken to the official Invincible Health Mastery website and hear an audio sample of the course.
All based on simple Natural Principles…
Its that easy.
May You Always Prosper!

P.S. my friend James told me tonight that he felt this program was the best “Introduction to Paganism” he had ever heard. I think that is a compliment! HA!

Raw Water is HERE!!!
A Quest for the Elixir of Life
Several years ago I set off on a Quest of sorts.
It all began with one question (Quest-I-On)….
What is the optimal drinking Water for the
people of the modern world?
I began, like most of us, consuming lifeless tap Water.
As I came to an understanding of the chemical treatment of tap water (I now call it “tap liquid”) I inevitably switched over to bottled Water.
Bottled Waters come with their own set of issues, most namely plastic. Not only the issue of plastic bottles accumulating in landfills around the world, but more close to home, plastics accumulating in our bodies. I came to understand that plastics were “bio-accumulating” in the body fat of human beings, and wreaking havoc on our reproductive systems, secondary sex characteristics, and possibly contributing to epidemic infertility issues.
That’s when I began my study of the Springs
Left very confused about what was the optimal Water, the search continued. It led me to the eventual conclusion that Water from the pure Springs of the Earth was our optimal drinking Water. In fact this is the only clean, pure, and uncontaminated Water left on Earth!
The process that renders Mountain Spring Water so perfect for human consumption cannot be replicated by filtration. And though many so called “spring waters” begin in a fairly pristine state, they rarely make it to market in this way.
Unfortunately the treatment that bottled “Spring Water” goes through damages and distorts this water dramatically, as well as contaminates it with plastics in the bottling process.
This led to the construction of “Find A Spring” the world’s first database of natural drinking Water Springs. This user built database allows people to find springs in their area where they can get source water free for themselves directly from the Earth. Still, this option is challenging to those who live in urban centers, those with busy lifestyles, and those in the drier parts of the world.
Why Raw Water?
For over 2 years now I have been sharing information about Water with the public. My studies have taken me far beyond the simple chemical understanding of the purity of Water (the H2O molecule), and into the science of liquid Water Crystallization or the “Structure” of Water.
This is what has led me to the conclusion that pure, untreated, natural, or “Raw Water” from uncontaminated Mountain Springs is the most bio-compatible Water for human beings. Water is so much more than the sum of its parts, and while all Waters may look the same to the naked, unaided eye, this is far from the case.
You see, Water, like many other substances, can have its molecules (the “H2O’s”) arranged in very different ways. While it will still present the same external appearance, that of a clear liquid, its internal properties have shifted. Namely its Internal Formation (or “In-Formation”)
A Metaphor
Allow me to offer a metaphor. Carbon is the only ingredient in the Diamond crystal, the hardest substance on Earth. It’s beautiful crystalline structure is what makes this Carbon (“C’s”) into a clear gemstone of the highest value.
Carbon atoms (the same little “C’s”) are also the only ingredient in graphite, or common “pencil lead”. This soft, brittle, and smudging substance is the exact chemical composition as diamond, though its properties are radically different.
What makes the difference between the shimmering clear hard, and dense gem and the soft, brittle and charcoal-like black pencil “lead” is the arrangement of the Carbon atoms (C’s), not the ingredients themselves.
Water is very similar
Although all Water is made from “H2O’s”, the arrangement of these H2O’s is critical to the life enhancing or life reducing properties of a particular Water.
Water is a “Liquid Crystal”, and its molecular arrangements, as much or even more than its “chemical purity” is what determines its quality, and its ability to hydrate, cleanse, and heal the human body.
This emerging science will have tremendous impacts on how we perceive, distribute, and even relate to Water as a civilization in the coming years.
Water is like a Hard Drive
One of the most shocking understandings coming to light is that waters “structure” works something like memory, and even when filtered (a process that removes “chemical contaminants” only) it retains the “structural properties” of the polluted water that it once was, transferring the “data” of pollution to the body.
Because the Water molecules (H2O’s) are arranged “IN the Formation” of polluted Water, they transmit the “In-Formation” of polluted water. This is one reason why filtered Waters (and filtered bottled waters) seem like they never really satisfy the body’s hydration needs.
Endorsing a Source
For years now I have been asked to endorse specific Waters, Water filters and/or restructuring devices, however my personal love of Water coupled with my personal integrity kept me from being able to do this. There simply wasn’t something that I felt I could get behind. Instead I created Find A Spring , a resource where people can find local (and free) springs in their area where they can get natural, unfiltered, pure, and well structured Raw Water for themselves direct from the source…. the Earth!
I am a believer in Nature as the ultimate expression of technology, and have serious doubts about any “Water Purification/Treatment” device’s ability to replicate the Natural Treatment that Mountain Spring Water receives in its incubation in the aquifers of the deep Earth.
I believe in Natural Source Mountain Spring Water
Still, where ever I went there were people for whom this was not a viable option, and I searched for some way to bring them Water with the Life Enhancing properties of Raw Mountain Springs. Now that opportunity is here!
Right in my own backyard!
I have now teamed up with Summit Springs (right here where I live in Maine!) to bring you “Raw Water”, the very first unfiltered and untreated, unadulterated, structured and pristine Glass Bottled Water in the world!
This is literally the closest thing to visiting a pristine mountain spring yourself that can be purchased anywhere. It is, after all, literally the foundational, nutritional need of all life forms on Earth!
Because it’s Your Blood!
Remember, the Water that you drink becomes, within minutes, the blood in your veins. Its quality is of foremost importance! What is the source of the Water of your blood, of your “internal ocean”? What is more important to your health than the 75% of your body volume that is the Water you drink? What is the quality of the Water you are made of?
Having this opportunity,
to bring to market the first
“Raw Water” is more than
just an exciting opportunity;
it is a humbling honor and responsibility.
Working together with Summit
Spring on this unprecedented project is amongst the most gratifying experiences
of my life!
More than just delivering Raw Water, we are delivering the “In-Formation” of the unique and pristine Source at Summit Spring. We are ensuring the purity and sanctity of this ancient geological formation, and protecting it from exploitation by multi-national corporate greed. It is a stewardship, and represents the greatest honor and responsibility of my life and career.
Our goal is so much more than bringing a new and unique product to the market. It is our mission to usher in a new paradigm. Raw Water represents a much-needed shift in the current human perception of Water, of sustainable distribution, and of responsible stewardship.
Your support clearly and quantifiably demonstrates that people are sincerely interested in, and genuinely committed to a movement towards these ideals.
Thank You for Your support in this all-important Shift!
I sincerely believe that you will immediately perceive the Qualitative difference that our Summit Spring sourced Raw Water delivers!
To your Health and the Health of our EcoSphere!
In closing I would like to invite you to visit the Summit Spring website for tonnes more information about this magnificent Source!

ElixirCraft DVD in the Making
I’ve been asked for a long time now for Elixir recipes, and although it is my primary philosophy to teach the process and concept of ElixirCraft so that you may Craft your own recipes that provide you with the specific medicine you yourself need… I have come to understand that for some it is of great importance to have a platform to take off from. Because of this I have recently filmed an ElixirCraft DVD that is now in the editing phase and will be released in the New Year of 2010. This DVD will cover several recipes, step by step with a focus on some of the most prominent health challenges being addressed today.
Thank-you to my friend and business partner Sarah Maria of Superfood SpeakEasy for co-creating this amazing project with me!
Invincible Health DVD Now Available
to put together an incredible DVD that includes 2 of Daniel’s most
intriguing and informative lectures to date!
