Master Herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze on healing with diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal formulas


“It’s never too late. I don’t care how far gone you are. I don’t care if your doctor told you there was no hope. It’s never too late. You just have to be ready and willing to change your life.” -Dr. Richard Schulze

Dr. Richard Schulze is a renowned natural healer, herbalist, and founder of the American Botanical Pharmacy. After being diagnosed with a severe heart condition at 16, he defied the medical prognosis and healed his heart through lifestyle changes, herbal treatments, and detoxification practices. His journey led him to study under some of the world’s top natural health experts, and over decades of clinical practice, he treated thousands of patients, many of whom overcame diseases that conventional medicine deemed incurable.

Dr. Schulze’s healing methods and herbal formulas are now used globally, helping people heal from chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and neurological conditions. He has taught at prestigious institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford and continues to share his knowledge through books, seminars, and his innovative products. His work has reshaped the natural healing field, proving that self-healing is possible without drugs or surgery.

Dr. Schulze’s life mission is to empower people to take control of their health through natural healing, and his legacy continues to inspire both patients and practitioners worldwide.

I discovered Dr. Richard Schulze in February 2004 and his books, lectures and herbal formulas were a tremendous source of inspiration, encouragement and hope to me during my cancer journey.

I am forever thankful to Dr. Schulze for his wisdom, his practical non-nonsense advice on radical life change, and his courageous fight to make natural healing methods available to patients. This one is a Trophy Interview. Enjoy!

    Great interview! Lots of good information. I’ve been following you since you began your healing journey from cancer. I haven’t had it myself, but feel that it’s always good to be well-versed since many of the things you write and talk about work as preventatives as well. And most times, other conditions come up in your posts or interviews, and measures to take to help heal them as well. In 1993 I lost my father to lung cancer. I’m sorry I didn’t know back then what I do now. Keep doing what you are doing! Let’s hope that as more of your “patients” heal, others who need the help but are afraid to take the simpler and healthy steps will find the courage to do so.

    Thanks for this interview! I am a cancer survivor (two and a half years so far) and I give credit to God for my healing and for giving me the lifestyle medicine tools to help my body stay strong. This interview reinforced what I’m doing and gives me hope for a long future. Thanks for all you do to help people get well!

    Dear Chris,
    Are to able to interview Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD. who is another legendary figure in truth in medicine. He might be retiring soon.
    -This was a wonderful interview with Dr. Schultz.
    Thank you!

    1. Patti

      I was under the impression that Dr. J. Wright passed away.

  6. Brett

    I am also a graduate of Dr. John R. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing. Richard Schultze was one of my teachers. I have been able to increase my quality of life by using these principles. I still live these principles to this day.

    It’s just too bad that Schultze has gone down the right-wing rabbit hole and believes that COVID was just fraud. Lots of people were catching COVID and dying of it at first, just like what happened with the Spanish Flu one hundred years ago. Now when I talk about natural healing some people start thinking that I am also a conspiracy theorist and it really prevents people from moving forward because they don’t want to be a part of that foolishness.

    Modern medicine is bad enough without making false correlations and ignoring reality.

    1. Pat

      I am a 19 year breast cancer thriver in part, due to Chris and the wonderful people he has interviewed over the years. Yes, the right-wing COVID conspiracies have been as destructive as the virus itself closing people off to any alternatives to western medicine. Millions of people died from COVID. Once a vaccine was widely available, the pandemic subsided, globally. Demonizing all western medicine is not helpful. There is a place for both. Not all doctors and researchers are just in the profession for money. They are practicing what they were taught. Painting these professionals with such a broad brush is dangerous and disappointing to hear on this platform.

  7. Cheryl

    Wonderful interview Chris. Really powerful. Thank you so much.

  8. Carol Hoon

    Awesome! I love Dr. Schulze! I have used his products since 2002. I used the Incurables Program to get rid of a 2″ malignant breast tumor. All of his formulas do exactly what he says they will. I used Tooth & Gum to regrow gum tissue and blew my dentist’s mind. He asked me to do a video to show other patients.

    God bless you and Dr. Richard Schulze! ♥♥♥

    I have known about Dr. Schulze since I was a baby. My grandparents made me take so many things including superfood. I thought it was going to kill me haha! And Anti-infection on any scrape or cut… that stuff burned! But it worked! We use it on our cats when they get bit by a weasel. Usually a weasel bite is a death sentence but any of my animals that had a weasel bite lived ten or more years after applying Anti-Infection. I wish Dr. Schulze still sold lobelia. I hate buying it at any stores. I love Dr. Schulze! He is amazing and so are his products!

    1. Annette

      I recall his Lobelia, I believe he was told that he couldn’t sell Lobelia anymore. I tried buying when he was trying to get it off the shelf, it was gone before you could hit the purchase button, but I had one and I used and valued it as Gold.

  10. noj

    best interview ever he’s so great, thankyou chris for doin this

  11. Annette

    Love Dr. Schulze’s Products been using them since 1998, I still use his products and recommend them. I raised my daughter on his Superfood Plus Powder and Children’s Echinacea. As a grandmother now I plan to continue using them on my grandchildren as well. I have all of his books, I just found one that I did not have and I went searching for it and found it; it was Healing Male and Female Disease Naturally. American Botanical Pharmacy Products are one of the best in the world.
