Each time we buy non-organic food we buy pesticides, and most probably food from an industrialized production meaning monoculture, chemical fertilizers, etc. All this leads to huge problems. Not only for your health but for others as well. One little servant that is absolutely necessary for us, is the bee. Every year 30% of the pollinating bees die and soon we won’t get our pears and almonds. Today bee farmers lock the hives at night, and like imprisoned slaves drive them across the country to pollinate farms that haven’t cared about keeping them in their environment. The other option is to pollinate by hand. It’s costly, crazy and very short sighted. If we don’t stop killing them and start helping them, this is how our food choice will look like in a few years. The US is the worst place, but don’t think that Europe is much better. The results of 60 years of short sighted unsustainable farming clearly shows.
If we all plant flowers that the bees can feed on in our gardens, along the roads and the fields, we help them hugely. Buy seeds of wild flowers like clover, poppies, alfa-alfa and just plant them in spring. The monoculture has ripped them out and killed them off with chemicals, as undesired weeds. Consequently the bees don’t have any food when the farmers almonds or apples bloom. When they then use insecticides they kill the few bees left, or leave them with a weaker immune system. Attacked by viruses and parasites the sick bees need more propolis (the natural “antibiotics” they produce) but there are no flowers around. All is very simple. This fantastic and hopeful TED-talk by Maria Spivak, shows how we can all help. Dedicate 15 minutes and begin to understand. Knowledge is the start of action.
TED-talk on Bees and Industrialized Farming
We will never be healthier than the earth we live on. Help it and you help yourself, your loved ones and many others. Also those loyal servants (you didn’t know about?) that help us get our daily food, that are not protected by any tax system, safety authority or police. Unfortunately there is no cost in killing bees, water or air in our market economy. It can only change if we consumers take responsibility for our part in the market chain.

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜

Einstein said that the day bees vanish from earth ..man will go not long after!! Our makeup is not made or are we ready to live a life without these wonderful creatures doing their amazing unrewarded work. Please look after the bee world. Liz 🙂
