Round 35 Communograph House artist, Lisa Harris, hosts this discussion with Dr. Barbara Ellis around how a raw diet and different holistic practices can sustain the body and correct various health issues.

Dr. Ellis is a natural healer, one of the founders of the raw/health movement that came through our community in the 70s, along with Sunshine, Erma Harris, Dick Gregory and others. Dr. Ellis is the founder and head therapist at Urban Renewal Clinic, offering holistic healing, hydro colon therapy, and gardening/cooking and lifestyle techniques. She also is one of the few Kalgen water distributors in Houston, offering Alkaline water to the community. She has healed herself of Lupus twice, (she had one recurring bout which she knocked out completely) has healed others of various cancers and diseases.

This is part of the Communograph: Mapping Community Through Creative Action series, a series focusing on the exploration of the grassroots creativity found in the Third Ward. This series aims to help evaluate how the Arts at University of Houston can become an intellectual resource, redirecting its academic facilities and assets towards strengthening connections within the immediate neighboring community.
