About Healed Lives:
This site is owned and operated by Patricia Knudsen. It is a portal to enable healing for humans, animals and our beautiful planet with a positive mind and a whole food, plant-based diet. It’s main purpose is to provide you with testimonials of those who were ill and now have abundant health! Check out our many resources including health professionals to assist you. Our ‘Save The Animals’ section will inspire you, too. Heal yourself, and help your loved ones heal. Remove animals and processed food from your diet. Create peace for yourself, the animals you no longer consume and restore vibrancy to our planet. Then, enter your own testimonial to inspire others!
About Me:
Life … I respect it all. I was born in San Francisco and raised in Monterey, California. I live in New Jersey. I am vegan (and formerly vegetarian) for 25 years. I have worked in the corporate world most of my life and, over the years, have volunteered to improve conditions for people, animals and our planet. Some of my activism and affiliations have included:
- Member of my local Board of Education
- Worked to institute spay and neuter policies in New York City through the Shelter Reform Action Committee
- New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG)
- Staten Island Citizens for Clean Air, Staten Island, New York. We worked hard and were successful in helping to shut down the Fresh Kills landfill, at the time the largest in the world.
- Coordinator of the Say No To Ash committee in Staten Island, New York. This small group helped stop the construction of a toxic ash fill which would have cleared the way to construct eight garbage incinerators throughout New York City. They were never built.
- Borough Coordinator of the 1990 Earth Day Committee of Staten Island, New York
Collaborating with human, animal and environmental groups/causes has greatly enriched my life. Creating peace for all people and animals is my mission. By creating abundant life for sentient beings, we do the same for humanity. Whole food, plant-based diets are restoring vibrancy to the earth and to all life. Be part of the solution.
