A Word From Rachel Wild
I really hope that you find the following advice deeply beneficial, and that, like so many others, you find long waited answers to chronic health conditions, and natural health dilemmas, such as all conventional sun creams being cancerous, and conventional treatments to acne causing birth defects etc…
Nevertheless, this information is likely to make me unpopular with certain factions of the commercial world, and with those who fastidiously subscribe to mainstream opinion. But, before you dismiss, out of hand, the insights provided, please know that all the natural health articles, listed below, have been thoroughly researched, and are supported by the latest peer reviewed scientific research.
It takes, on average, 17 years for the latest scientific discoveries to filter down to patient delivery, via our doctors and nurses.
And, please also remember:
- I am completely independent (not funded by corporate pharmaceutical entities).
- I am not being paid by anyone else.
- I am providing you with this information for free… so, my voice is truly independent
- I don’t benefit in any way when I publish free-to-access natural health articles. In fact, the opposite is true… I actually lose a lot of time that I could be using to devote to my own wellbeing and entertainment, or even channelled into making Wild As The Wind more profitable, etc…
So, before deciding to judge me harshly, I hope that you will give me the benefit of the doubt, and realise that I am providing this information because I genuinely care.
But, of course, I am human, and I have biases. I try to remain as objective as possible, but I know that I am as fallible as the next person, to subtle biases. So, as with all else you read, you need to engage your discernment and intuition to determine if what I have written resonates with you.

General Health Articles
Sleep is the most important thing we can do for health. Being in nature, especially walking through woodlands, is also deeply important, especially for mental, spiritual and digestive health. Diet and exercise come next.
In this section of Health News you will find articles relating to the many things we can do to restore balance and bolster optimal health. A lot of the suggested protocols are free, yet too many of us are not taking advantage of them. Hopefully, drawing attention to them here will inspire us to change all that?
Universal Law – The Roadmap To Natural Health
Sleep Issues & The Mineral Connection – insomnia & poor sleep quality undermine our natural resilience & impair our enjoyment of life, but can often be rectified with the right mineral balance. We heal when we are asleep, so resolving sleep issues is vitally important.

Vitamin D & Vitamin K – for immune health & proper systemic function.
Zinc & Copper – for immune health & proper systemic function.
Shilajit For Digestive Health – Shilajit is a mineral-rich compound that supports digestive, hormonal and immune health.
Why Is A Health News Section Necessary?
There are many important reasons for creating this Complementary Health News Section.
We Don’t Always Need Interventions To Get Well
Our bodies are gorgeous, mind-blowing, self-healing systems. Given half a chance, we can recover from anything. The fact that our body is a wondrous self-healing system is getting lost in the pursuit of profit by the health industry.
Hopefully, this Health News section of the Wild As The Wind website will help redress this idea, a little.
A Time Of Elevated Toxicity
But, sadly, we live in an increasingly polluted world, and systemic toxicity is undermining our ability to self-heal.
So, focussing on detoxification, and being out in nature, has never been so important. This is why this Health News section began with all of the articles in the General Health section.
Getting The Right Answers Takes Time
- It takes 17 years for cutting edge medical research to filter down into medical practice.
- There have been many revelatory medical discoveries within the last few years, but the medicine being practised today does not, in any way, reflect these new understandings.
- The latest research and medical understanding does not only make the medicine being practised today obsolete, these new medical understandings actually make a lot of current medical practices dangerous.
- We don’t have to wait for medicine to catch up… we can use the latest medical research to support and improve our health, instead of allowing our outdated medical provisions to actually cause us more harm than good.
- Modern Western Medicine is all about splitting things up and making them into separate areas of specialisation, whereas our bodies are fully integrated systems, with every aspect influencing every other aspect…
