MARTIN: Hello everyone! This is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast Podcast, and with me today is Dr. Howard Peiper. Dr. Peiper, welcome to the show!

HOWARD: Thank you, Martin! I feel honored being on your show, thank you!

MARTIN: The honor is truly mine. You are the one with tons of experience, and the chops to tell us what you know. Dr. Peiper has written many books for folks that are wanting to get educated in the ways of natural healing. He comes with a storied background going back to Bernard Jensen and the days of my original teachers. In fact, I think we both may be in a similar age group, what do you think?

HOWARD: Well, I will be hitting 80 in a couple of weeks.

MARTIN: Oh, I am only 69. Thank you for having the headstart on me! That is most welcome. You have written around 40 books, did I get it right? That in itself is an awesome accomplishment. I am still working on my first.

HOWARD: (laughing) The first one is always the hardest.

MARTIN: Okay. (laughing) Anyway, would you mind reviewing a bit of your life for our listeners?

HOWARD: Oh, of course. Thank you. As you mentioned, I am a doctor, a naturopathic doctor, that is my second career, I call it ‘my second lifetime.’ In my first lifetime, I was an optometrist for a number of years, and it was really interesting. In 1972, I got to meet Dr. Bernard Jensen, he was one of my mentors, and he taught me how to do iridology. And being an optometrist and doing iridology, I was doing both at the same time, and just keeping it within the first career. Then I had an opportunity of getting my naturopathic license in the early seventies, and I went forward, and I decided in the early nineties to change careers. So I became a naturopathic doctor, living in Florida at that time. And I made a connection working with a magazine called Explore magazine, which I don’t know if it is still around, and I met a wonderful woman named Christine Jackson. Actually, she was up in your neck of the woods, and I almost moved to Mount Vernon, Washington, back in the early nineties, so we might have been neighbors.

I started writing some articles for her, and made a connection with Nina Anderson, who wrote a book on living in a pollution-free house. We started corresponding back and forth. At that time she was in Connecticut, and our first book was ‘Are You Poisoning Your Pets?’ Then we went into a booklet called ‘The Secrets of Staying Young.’ This was back in the mid nineties. We wrote a couple of other books together, and our bestseller, which is still a bestseller after all these years, we are talking about maybe 25-28 years, is the ‘ADD and ADHD Diet.’ It has been used by thousands and thousands of parents, mothers, doctors, it has been translated to Spanish, so I’ve been down in Mexico many times, and people still use that information.

MARTIN: We are going to post links to your books in the show notes. Are you selling through Amazon?

HOWARD: Yes, we are selling through Amazon.
