Dr. Eldon Dahl, founder of Life Choice, reflects on his nearly 40 years in naturopathic medicine. He shares his journey from childhood experiences with natural remedies, to establishing a clinic and later a manufacturing company. Dahl recounts deeply emotional patient cases, including late-stage cancer and AIDS, where natural remedies extended quality of life. He discusses successes using products like thymus glandulars, glycine, fortified boron, and kava kava, while also detailing Health Canada’s regulatory crackdowns that shuttered businesses and removed safe products from the market.

He contrasts naturopathic philosophy—treating root causes and enabling the body to heal itself—with conventional medicine’s focus on symptom management. Dahl emphasizes the challenges of overregulation, rising costs, and censorship, which he argues restrict Canadians’ access to natural products. He calls for a new “Wellness Minister” at the provincial level and stresses the importance of supporting local health food stores as centers of education and trust. Despite decades of obstacles, he remains committed to his mission, humbled by the countless lives he believes have been improved through natural health.
