Michael Maxon, M.S. graduate and Ph.D. candidate

When Michael Maxon was a teenager, he developed a health condition that changed his life: Hepatitis. Yes; Michael Maxon and Johnny Delirious are the same person. The disease became chronic and because of this, Michael began an intense and personal interest in natural health. He developed a new gratitude for the Holy Spirit, which he gives credit to his recovery.

He has worked professionally in the laboratory, nutrition and natural health industry since 1987, and has shopped at health food stores for more than 40 years and helped in the beginnings of several nutritional CoOps. When Michael and his wife Valeria, go to a drugstore, they make a joke that they only buy light bulbs, band-aids and tissue there. In Natural Health drugs or surgery are a last resort and should only be utilized when nothing else can be effective.

Michael earned a BS in 1996 in Communication Arts in the University of West Florida and majored in politics and persuasion, focusing on speeches of influence in history: from Lenin, Churchill, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter to the brilliant sales and marketing rhetoric of Barnum and Bailey Ringling etc.

"I may not embrace their philosophies, but their appeal was magnetic. I wanted to learn why, in order to empower people to make changes that lead to a healthier life. Cleaning the liver is the key to health, and the organ is so named because it helps us live. Maintenance of the liver is simple, yet it is not widely done."

Michael's near-death experience brought a better understanding of the liver and a desire to help others. "When that rare person captures a new understanding and makes a decision within themselves that life can be better and is worth living and they can make that happen, it makes my dreams come true, I live to see people change for the better."

From 2000 to 2004 Michael worked in technical and product support for Garden of Life, interfacing with doctors and other health care providers, health food store employees and consumers. "It is paramount that customers and professionals understand the interactions of nutritionals otherwise they will not get the benefits."

Today, he has biographies about his experience with natural health and healing, the first being his ground breaking book, Hepatitis C, CURED by Johnny Delirious
