New Eden – 16 Years
From the Desk of Dr. Reg McDaniel
Sixteen years ago, I sat down with a few dear friends and bold visionaries and asked a simple but profound question:
What if we could build a company that honored the healing intelligence of nature, validated by science, and driven by a genuine love for people? Additionally, having a more economical cost structure for users.
That conversation gave birth to Wellness Quest with its lead dietary supplement, New Eden — a name chosen to reflect our belief that humanity was designed to live in harmony with the gifts of this earth. Our initial short-term benefits were the elimination and prevention of all types of infectious agents. Soon, the addition of more extensive health benefits led to the inclusion of our supplement in the routine diet, known as Personal Preventive and Interventional Health Management.
NEW EDEN is Acemannan, the bioactive component in aloe leaf gel, which contains key nutrients that are often low, missing, or avoided in the modern diet. The new processing for Acemannan has the same molecular weight as BIALOE™, as found in nature, and includes approximately 250 additional nutrients from the aloe plant’s metabolism that were lost during alcohol processing for Manapol™. Responses are increased for deviations from normal health.
NEW EDEN
Today, as I reflect on this 16-year journey, my heart is filled with gratitude and a sense of personal and professional fulfillment.
The Early Days: Faith, Curiosity, and a Lot of Coffee
In those early years, we didn’t have all the answers. What we had was a growing body of research, from 10 academic institutions, including my work with Acemannan and its remarkable immune-modulating properties. Here was a stream of anecdotal reports that bordered on miraculous. No pharmaceutical drug has ever or will ever accomplish in health restorations what NEW EDEN regularly provides.
I remember gathering in the office and major regional meetings, swapping stories of people who had experienced unexpected recoveries, renewed energy, and newfound hope after embracing nature-based wellness protocols. It wasn’t long before those stories demanded something more: objective, scientific validation. Initially, I was very skeptical due to my education and training. I still could learn new things that help people with health needs.
As health responses grew, we set out to find out why.
We built partnerships with independent researchers, academic institutions, funded pilot studies, and followed the data wherever it led. And time after time, the evidence confirmed what our minds had been forced to believe already — that when you nourish the body at a cellular level, the body knows how to heal itself. Forty years of research in Texas by Roger Williams, PhD, confirmed this to be true. We saw validation for all his pioneering research conclusions.
The People Who Made It Possible
This journey would have been impossible without the friends, colleagues, and believers who stood by my side. If I have any special talent, it is that I have listened to people’s words about the benefits of a more comprehensive nutrition. I have invented nothing; I am only a messenger and servant to people with health needs.
To those of you who shared your testimonies, entrusted us with your health journeys, and believed in the mission of New Eden — thank you.
To the scientists who challenged us to ask better questions and dig deeper into the biochemistry of human health, thank you.
And to those who have carried this vision forward, even on the tough days, when progress felt slow and opposition was fierce — thank you.
Now you know why I’m still here, eager at 89 years to help all those who need health restorations. The old, unknown, and new stories I receive by email keep me going.
At 88 years old, you might expect me to slow down. But the truth is, I wake up every day just as curious — and just as convinced — as I was when we started decades ago.
New discoveries in cell biology, immune modulation, and plant-based therapeutics continue to confirm what I’ve witnessed for decades:
God’s design (meaning the CREATIVE. Organizing and Designing POWER in the universe) for the human body is both intricate and resilient, and nature holds the keys to unlock our full potential.
The Road Ahead
As we celebrate 16 years, I hope that New Eden will continue to be a beacon of hope for those seeking better health, clearer minds, and stronger bodies. We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible.
So, here’s my personal invitation: stay with us. Stay curious. Stay hopeful. Stay bold in your pursuit of optimal health. Because what we’ve seen so far is only the beginning, as it has been found that Acemannan daily generates stem cells and elongates telomeres. This provides longevity in good health.
Thank you for letting me be part of your story.
With deep affection and gratitude,
Dr. Reg McDaniel
