Welcome to my first attempt at blogging!
Why 'NutraBlog'?
I have a passion for nutrition; its benefits, its potential, and its politics.
What I'd like to do here is post my comments on news of the day in nutrition and interesting articles I've come across. I'd also like to take this opportunity to invite others interested in this fascinating area to post their comments as well. Your comments and participation are most welcome.
A brief note about me - a disclaimer if you will. I make no claims to expertise on nutrition in the traditional sense. I have no formal training in nutrition or suffer from any chronic degenerative disease. So far as I know I am perfectly healthy! What I do have is a point of view, and I would like to use this blog as a vehicle of expression for myself and others interested in the potential of nutrition in battling chronic degenerative diseases and maintaining people's general health.
There. I hope I haven't been too wordy! So here we go....

About Me
- Randy Schulz
- b. 1954 Male B.A., B.Ed. M.A. Self employed! I suppose it's fair to say I've cut my teeth on many health issues since 1979, when I worked in Ottawa as a Health researcher in the federal system. It was there I was initiated in the politics of health and witness to the early stages of the fight to get a new Canada Health Act. In the mid 1990s I once again delved into health, only this time from a personal health perspective. Now, many years later, I can see that the structures currently in place are inadequate protection from epidemic of chronic denerative disease facing all of us. Prevention is the name of the game, and governments, the media, and the medical establishment will be far behind the many thousands and millions of people who well know they have to take personal responsibility for their own health. There, I've said it. I've been radicalized on health issues so much so as to attribute institutional motives to every utterance concerning health. I have motives myself, of course.;)
