Generation Reinvention 44: Boomers, Medicinal Plants and New Paths to Healthy Aging
On November 29, 2011
Podcast: Download
Most of us are aware that the rainforests of the world are under assault and decimation from modernization. Some of us have considered the impact of this loss of biodiversity. What happens if our species destroys the one plant that can deliver us from the scourge of cancer or heart disease? What medicinal salvation grows deep in the jungles, yet to be discovered? One adventurer is not waiting for someone else to answer these questions. He is exploring the world to discover the medicinal value of exotic plants.
Chris Kilham is a medicine hunter, author and educator. The founder of Medicine Hunter Inc., he has conducted medicinal research in over 20 countries. He is the FOX News Medicine Hunter and appears on FOX News Health online in the US and international television markets.
He is Explorer in Residence at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he teaches the popular ethnobotany course The Shaman’s Pharmacy through the Department of Plant & Soil Sciences.
He has appeared as a guest expert on several hundred radio and television programs including news programs on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, FOX TV, and NPR. He has appeared as a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, and is a regular guest on FOX News Ask Dr. Manny.
As a TV guest and public speaker he has spoken about medicine hunting, traditional botanical medicines, nutraceuticals, environmental and cultural preservation and other related topics for a wide variety of audiences.
Chris works with companies to develop and popularize traditional plant-based food and medicinal products into market successes. These include kava, maca, rhodiola, horny goat weed, herbal beverages and dozens of other plants. He is currently working to build market demand for cat’s claw and dragon’s blood, both strong medicinal plants from the Amazon rainforest.
He is the author of fourteen books, including “Hot Plants,” “The Five Tibetans,” “Psyche Delicacies,” “Tales from the Medicine Trail” and “Kava, Medicine Hunting in Paradise.”
He conducts medicinal plant research for Naturex of Avignon, France, one of the largest botanical extraction companies in the world. He is also an advisory board member of the Naturex Foundation, which funds community development projects in various countries.
