Richard Anderson, author, researcher and honorary ND, founded Arise and Shine in the late 1980’s after he made an herbal expedition throughout the Southwestern United States of America that ended in a lush meadow deep in the Sierra Mountains. After dining for a time on fresh raw herbs gathered there he discovered the basis of a formula for internal cleansing that has been setting the standard for more than 20 years now. 

Rich and Avona have always held a guiding vision for Arise and Shine that includes walking lightly on the earth, eating a healthy organic vegetarian diet, and recycling personal and company waste.

We understand that living a healthy and balanced lifestyle is one of our greatest challenges in our world of modern stresses. A lifestyle that includes plenty of sunshine, exercise and activities such as Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation help one to mentally detox, to deal with stress, and feed the soul. We believe that supplementing one’s diet with such things as electrolytes, antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins and minerals along with an occasional cleanse, supports vitality, helps balance weight and energy for an active lifestyle and a long healthy life.

Join us on a journey to find a deeper understanding of self and an expanding understanding of down to earth natural ways of living no matter where you are; uptown, downtown, in suburbia or the country.

With our new look we are adding a whole set of complimentary resources for cleansers and those who want to enjoy better health naturally. Please explore, check back often and offer your input, insights and successes. Enjoy.

Cultivate Love and Joy for Healing

Love and joy can be cultivated to such a degree that not only can they heal our own bodies, they can also heal those with whom we come in contact. Those who Love enough never want for anything. It does not matter whether you are a saint, a devil, or in between! To cultivate the power of Love is the wisest venture anyone can ever initiate. For nothing, absolutely nothing in the universe will bring greater benefits and happiness.
