Charities

Nourish the heart & soul while making a difference

While many of us have been blessed to experience our Universe as one of abundance, far too many live a life fraught with deprivation, degradation, and disease. With the core of my own mission lying in women’s health education, I have come to believe that creating and maintaining whole health and stability in the body requires a sound capacity to both give and receive.

From there it is a simple step to extrapolate this holistic health give-and-take philosophy to a universal level. There is simply nothing that nourishes the heart and soul more completely than giving to a cause in which you wholeheartedly believe, and to believe that you can truly make a difference.

With that being said, I have discovered—as have many of you—that all is not as it seems in the world of charitable giving. For this reason I have updated my charitable giving recommendations. You may notice that a vast majority of the charities I recommended in the past are no longer on this page. When you know better, you do better!

Zelenko Freedom Foundation 

The Zelenko Freedom Foundation provides funding to organizations that bridge the gap between public policy and real-world solutions to ensure medical freedom. This includes finding the next-generation biomedical technology that Big Pharma ignores; educating the public about how to protect their health and fight for their rights as patients and consumers; and sharing with the world valuable information that is often suppressed by Silicon Valley, corrupt corporate interests, and government officials. Donations to the Foundation, as well as 10% of Zelenko Labs’ revenue, supports Zelenko Freedom Foundation initiatives aimed at defending health autonomy, including groundbreaking research, education, public policy, grants, and scholarships.

  1. […] The endorsement I’m sharing with you this week came as a very pleasant surprise.
