In the last issue of JurakXpress, Anthony Carl Jurak explained how somehow he found himself in the position at 60 years of age with a new mission to accomplish --- a mission that quite frankly can only be explained as the very most important one in the world today --- the health of nations.

ome countries in Africa have 20, 30 and 40 percent of their population infected with AIDS. What can we do about that? The only thing we can do is to make sure that we strengthen the immune system of everyone we can. Unfortunately, we are not big enough YET to undertake such a huge task, but we have started in America because America is quite ill. Millions of people are suffering unnecessarily. Look at some of these statistics:

• Sixty-four percent of U.S. Adults are overweight or obese. (1999-2000) Source: Health-E Stat

• Number of Annual Office Visits to Physicians for Mental Disorders: 29,939,000 (2000) Source: Advance Data 328

• Eleven percent of U.S. children under 18 years of age, or 8.1 million children have been diagnosed with asthma. Source: Summary Health Statistics for U.S. Children: National Health Interview Survey

• Over 33 million Americans have Arthritis. 28 million of these Americans are over age 45 (1997) Source: Vital and Health Statistics Series 10, No. 205

So Anthony Carl Jurak undertook the mission to Give the people of the world what they need before they know they need it. Not really knowing how he was going to do it, except that he had in his hands a formulation that could literally improve the health of the world if used correctly, and that is where the Whole Body Tonic concept and the tonic herb importance came into play. However, when Anthony Carl Jurak looked at the formulation back there in 1947, he only remembered that his father had spoken to him about tonic herbs and the whole body healing idea as he was maturing through the 1960's and 70's. When he decided to launch Jurak Corporation World Wide, Inc., he still did not have a clear understanding of that concept.

Lo and behold, one person in his small group who was working to put the ideas together for this organization, Michelle, mentioned to him the book "Herbal Tonic Therapies" by Daniel B. Mowrey Ph.D., wondering if he had read it. Anthony said he had not, but then did so immediately and was awestruck to read that Dr. Mowrey was writing about everything his father had told him as far back as 30 years ago about the Whole Body Tonic-healing concept. Don't forget, Dr. Mowrey's book was written in 1993. However, how could he have gone to market with the formulation that was based on the Whole Body Tonic concept utilizing tonic herbs, when he was not sure if the 18 herbs in the formulation were indeed tonic herbs?

So, he went about trying to figure out a way to meet Dr. Mowrey and then remembered a friend of his in Boulder, Colorado, a master herbalist, whom he called and asked if she had ever heard of a Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. She exclaimed, "Daniel Mowrey! But of course! I worked with him 15 years ago." So, as Anthony Carl Jurak put it, "When I asked Debra if she knew Dr. Mowrey, she said, 'Why, Anthony? Do you want to meet him?' I said, 'Oh, I sure do. Can I?' Three days later, I was on the phone with Daniel B. Mowrey Ph.D. author of "Herbal Tonic Therapies," and when I told him that my father had a formula that he had on the market in 1943, which apparently was a Whole Body Tonic utilizing only tonic herbs of the herbs used, he found it difficult to believe. I suggested if I sent him a list of the herbs, he could identify them and then we would know."

That was in the later part of 1997. Anthony Carl Jurak continued developing the organization Jurak Corporation World Wide, Inc., along with Roger Theriault, Zita Guedes, Serge Beauchemin and Michelle D'Eze, knowing in their heart that the concept and the formulation were correct; that they were sound; that he could count on it as the corner stone for an eventually mighty corporation.

In February of 1998, Dr Mowrey wrote Anthony Carl a letter wherein he stated, among other things, that he was literally amazed that anyone had any idea of this tonic herb concept and the idea of the whole body healing in North America so long ago, talking about Anthony Carl Jurak’s father.

At that time, and with that information, Anthony's remark was "Eureka!" And once again, as they say, the rest is history.
