Former English teacher Ed Barker is now a health researcher, writer and copy editor. He lives in North Wales, UK, with his wife, Yvonne. 

After a very close shave with death in 2013 – due to a blood clot – he started taking his health more seriously.

He researched the shocking side effects of the blood-thinning drug warfarin – also used as rat poison – and quickly switched to safe natural alternatives. 

He also discovered that all pharmaceutical drugs have side effects, and now lives a healthy drugs-free lifestyle.

Through his health books he aims to open readers' eyes to safe, natural alternatives to ease common afflictions.

Did you know that a 2016 British Medical Journal study found that the third leading cause of death in the USA is . . . MEDICAL ERROR?!
