Mr Irons was born on January 23, 1895 in West Virginia, USA. He graduated from Yale University in 1919.   At the age of 40 he was stricken with severe ankylosing spondylosis (an arthritic condition) and turned to natural approaches in desperation.  He became a student of health, expended time, money and energy to develop something which was in total harmony with Natural Law.  This search led him to believe that in order to regain vibrant health, detoxification was the first step.

Dr. Royal Lee was instrumental in having Mr. Irons and Harold Pratt of Kansas City introduce the use of wheat grass and other cereal grasses in 1953. Greenlife®, became the trademark name for these organically grown cereal grasses and was the first supplement of its kind (see supplements page).  V. Earl Irons traveled the country lecturing and teaching the basic principles of health. Many thousands have been helped tremendously by following his advice and principles.  V. Earl Irons pioneered the idea of using psyllium seed and husks to create a mucilaginous bulk which would enhance the cleansing of the colon. In addition, Montmorillonite, which is the active ingredient in Bentonite, is used as an adsorbent aid in  detoxification and intestinal purification via the alimentary canal.

V. Earl Irons began a second family at the age of 72 and fathered his last child at the age of 80. Mr. Irons passed away in 1993 at the age of 98.  His ideals and teachings are carried on by his family and the many devoted followers around the world who have experienced his cleansing and rejuvenation program.

Audio cassette tapes of Mr. Irons' lectures are available in a set of six for $30.00, plus shipping and handling.  "The Destruction Of Your Own Natural Protective Mechanism" a booklet written by Mr. Irons is also available for $1.25.
