When you read articles saying that there is not much difference in-between organic and conventional food in nutrient content, know what they mean! Those studies only study if a certain nutrient can be found, but not how much of it. That’s the clever way for the industry to keeps us oblivious and feed on their toxins.
This study made by the EU talks by itself. You can clearly see that pesticides makes the food lack nutrients (they also need them to detox) as well as making us need more of them to detox as we eat poison. No wonder the bees are dying, nature gets polluted, and we get more inflammation based disease such as cancer and CVD! When you check studies, look for those which compare the difference in levels of content of vitamins, minerals, etc, not just if there are traces of the nutrient in it. That’s the clever difference, giving you articles saying that conventional fruit is “as nutritious as organic” meaning that both contain, say selenium. But it doesn’t specify how much selenium you get in one or the other. Always check the source of the study. If it is subsidized by the industry, check another one or make your own conclusions. Some can still be useful.
Like the study above, (sorry, it’s a bit difficult to read) that shows clearly that organic produce contains around 50% more nutrients (which is the normal conclusion of these studies) but the abstract form the ACP (Annals of Internal Medicine, Am College of Physicians) said that ‘there is no significant difference’. Hmmm…really? If significant difference is set to 100%, then of course that conclusion is right. In reality this means that we have to eat a double amount of fruits and vegetables to get the same amounts of vitamins and minerals as if we buy non-organic. Then if you think you save money buying non-organic you are wrong. Every day, you would have to compensate the loss of nutrients in conventional food by eating about 2 kg of broccoli, drink 0,5 liters of olive oil, 5 apples, etc, to get what your grandparents did before the war. No wonder people over-eat today, our bodies are craving micro nutrients. I prefer to buy organic and take my supplements.

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 💚🌿💜
