The Master Survivor Apprentice Program
Are You Ready to Master the Unknown Science of Survival and Optimal Health?
A 12-Month Deep Dive into Foundational Human Health
The Master Survivor Apprentice program is not a simple diet plan; it is a rigorous, year-long educational journey designed to transform your understanding of human biochemistry, resilience, and functional nutrition. This course guides you through core foundational principles, blending applied research with real-life experimentation to make you a true Master Survivor of modern life.
Course Roadmap: Your 12-Month Journey
The program is structured around six core learning tracks, each lasting two months to allow for deep research and real-world application.
| Time | Learning Track (The Master's Core Focus) | Key Concepts |
|---|---|---|
| Months 1 and 2 | Grains & Legumes | Plant Based Diet; Understanding phytic acid, proper preparation (e.g., soaking to improve digestion). |
| Months 3 and 4 | Juices & Fasting | Intermittent Fasting; Therapeutic use of juices, metabolic processes, and benefits of controlled Fasting. |
| Months 5 and 6 | Gadgets; What is Needed | Wellness Tech; Evaluating essential tools (grinders, rollers, juicers) necessary for optimal nutrition and food preparation. |
| Months 7 and 8 | HTMA, The Unknown Science | HTMA; Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Studying nutrient mineral balances, heavy metal toxicity, and its reflection of biochemistry over time. |
| Months 9 and 10 | The Liver, the Key to Life | Detoxification; Understanding the crucial role of the liver in health, energy, and detoxification pathways. |
| Months 11 and 12 | Introduction to the Microbiome | Probiotics; Gut Health; The complex ecosystem of the gut and its profound connection to overall Well being. |
Learning Track: Applied Knowledge is Power
This program emphasizes practical application and critical thinking.
The point of learning to be the Apprentice is to use our two lab tests to get your body and mind balanced and under your control and understand how that took place. We are not to rush but just to go steady and each day do some work toward your goal of balance.
The 2-Month Applied Research Cycle
For each track, you will be given two full months to immerse yourself in the topic:
- Research & Foundation (Month 1): You research the topic using suggested and supporting journals to build a correct and well-supported body of knowledge.
- Application & Essay (Month 2): You begin building a comprehensive essay (2,500 words minimum) that answers core questions, makes conclusions, and demonstrates how you applied the knowledge to your real life. For example, showing how soaking beans improved your family’s digestion.
- Review & Examination: The final essay for each track serves as your exam. The instructor provides personal oversight, including telephone calls to review your observations and findings.
About The Master Survivor University and Founder
The Master Survivor University is an educational institution founded by Dr. Michael Rudolph Maxon, "Dr. Johnny" (Laboratory Naturopathic Doctor), who developed his healing methodology after successfully recovering from a severe illness (cirrhosis/Hepatitis C) in the 1990s.
The university's approach is rooted in combining:
- Ancient Greek healing therapies (like food healing plans and the liver flush).
- Modern laboratory science, particularly Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and discoveries from the Human Microbiome Project.
- A unique methodology called the Golden Ratio healing system.
The goal of the Master Survivor Program and the University is to help people naturally heal and become a "Master Survivor" by achieving balance (homeostasis) in the body, primarily by balancing the gut microbiome and cellular biochemistry.
The University offers a tiered training system:
- Master Survivor Apprentice (MSA): A one-year entry-level track focusing on the student's own healing journey using HTMA and gut restoration protocols.
- Master Survivor Programer (MSP): A two-year masters track teaching the fundamentals of cell biochemistry and the human microbiome.
- Master Survivor Doctor (MSD): A three-year doctoral study track for those seeking to excel "Beyond Ph.D.," involving hands-on case work and deeper study into immunity and genetic expression.
