Our quality of life is greatly improved when we have wild nature near our doorstep. Perhaps for you this means changing doorsteps, or gathering at the doorsteps of local leaders to insist on healthier and more optimal land use policies.
HumanaNatura has updated its Personal Health Program reference list. The list provides excellent sources for learning about the science of our natural history and human evolution, and research into natural living and human well-being. You can access the new list at Health Science References.
The sky seems to hang below us on a recent mountain hike. Hope you have the opportunity to experience the Earth and sky this weekend…
Sometimes we must leave ourselves to find ourselves…
If you look at it just right, and see its potential to gather friends at the meeting of the earth, sea, and sky…
The British Medical Journal reported this week that Andrew Wakefield’s controversial 1998 research showing a link between childhood vaccinations and autism was based on fabricated and fraudulent data. Previously, researchers had been unable to reproduce the results and the medical journal Lancet had withdrawn Wakefield’s original paper in 2009.

Do you know the nearest waterfall to you? It may be a famous location or an unexpected or overlooked place. Either way, we would encourage you to find the waterfall closest to where you live – by searching nearest waterfall here – and then to take the next step of going there to experience what the falling water evokes in you.
We won’t speculate why waterfalls are such evocative places. We will only emphasize that they are, and urge you to discover or rediscover this for yourself. If you do, you will experience the visceral and uplifting rush and hush of water, echoing and softening other sounds in the landscape, and perhaps sparkling in sun or moonlight. All are recurring and ancient natural qualities that are common to waterfalls around the world.
Together, these experiences reliably give us feelings of nature revealed and renewed, and help us to better see naturalness and waiting renewal in ourselves, others, and indeed all things. Always, when we perceive wild nature attentively, the world is at once simplified and made richer – reduced to its essence and yet elevated too.
Such experiences more deeply connect us to nature and our own human nature, each of which like waterfalls involves potentials waiting to be unleashed and cultivated. Inspiring time in nature offers new self-understanding, new and re-naturalized perspective on modern life, and new clarity regarding our truest needs and priorities.
In the HumanaNatura natural health system, connection to nature is one of our ten dimensions of natural living, which are listed below and you can learn about here:
We hope you will explore our ten dimensions, and the needed place of natural experiences and perspectives in your life. Nature and the other HumanaNatura dimensions are waiting opportunities for new health forever before us.
They are as close as the nearest waterfall and, in truth, they are much closer still.

Researchers at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital have found a new link between low vitamin D levels and immune functioning in infants. These latest findings add to the now rapidly growing body of evidence suggesting that extra amounts of this vitamin, naturally obtained principally through sun exposure, may be needed by many of us to promote optimal health. Other studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D in a number of critical health areas, including bone health, weight management, immune functioning, brain health, and even cancer and multiple sclerosis prevention.
