The European politicians know, the governments know, and journalists, and more than anyone the farmers know because most of them would like to get rid of it. But I’m not so sure the consumers know that our food is making us sick from an unhealthy agricultural policy. When they do, it will make the pivot fall for change. The EU agricultural policies, with the huge subsidies are bad, bad, bad. When the small organic farms don’t get any help and Prince Charles gets a million pounds every year something is wrong. It is actually very wrong, but we can change it starting today, by voting for a more healthy EU.
The system made sense after the WWII, when Europe was shattered and poor. Farmers needed subsidies to produce food for a starving population. The policies were made so that it promoted large farms, not knowing that 5 decades after it would be the reason for why we have a dysfunctional market with subsidized international enterprises, food that make us ill, and chemicals that kill both us and our nature. Sugar is dangerous! It is the fuel for tumours and proven to make kids hyperactive. Why is the sugar industry one of the biggest receivers of the 55 billion Euros payed by European tax payers every year?
Why subsidise unhealthy farming and food, while healthy food like organic veggies and fruit hardly get any subsidies. Other continents are not so much better, the US being an example known for the sugar lobby headed by Coca Cola. Gro Harlem Bruntland witnessed their mafia methods to stop her from publishing recommendations for sugar intake, as the Director General of WHO. It’s a thriller!
Now it’s up to the voters, you and me, to change this. Once again, the only thing that will change this dysfunctional industry is consumers and voters. Make it come up on the political agenda! Democracy comes with the responsibility of voting and freedom of speech. I have to say I like the idea of compulsory voting, as you can always vote blank. See this video before you vote for the European Parliament. Understand why Tate & Lyle and huge land owners, get so much money from our European tax money. This video explains it all. It is produced by an organizations of european journalists that also shows rates of transparency in each country.

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 💚🌿💜
