Natural doesn't always mean good.
The natural starter you want comes only from grain or flour, not from fruits or vegetables. The fruit- and vegetable-grown yeasts certainly exist, but they are not the right ones for this job.
Edited: Here's a link to a good method for creating a sourdough starter:

Note: The pineapple juice is only there as an acidifier, to prevent the wrong things from growing in the new culture. The pineapple itself contributes nothing to the finished product.
