Kenny Ausubel Highlight
Life is such a profound mystery. I think there's a certain point where you have to give up any illusion of control.
About Kenny
- While in college, he woke up one day and realized the left side of his body was paralyzed.
- Says this health crisis was life-changing; after his doctors were left perplexed, he turned to alternative medicine.
- Learned that he'd undergone a massive chemical exposure that had killed or disabled many others.
- Felt lucky to be alive; this changed his perspective on life in a profound way.
- While digging deeper into alternative treatments, he came across Hoxsey Therapy, an herbal cancer treatment.
- This became the subject of his first documentary, "Hoxsey: How Healing Becomes a Crime."
- After seeing the reaction to the documentary, Kenny and his wife started Bioneers, a nonprofit that brings scientists together to solve environmental issues.
- Started to get involved with botanical medicine; founded Seeds of Change to restore "backyard biodiversity" by selling organic, non-hybridized seeds.
