Very often i hear reluctant people blaming their genes, meaning they can’t do anything about their health and so they continue doing what clearly made them ill in the first place. Unfortunately many don’t react when the body have tried to tell them to stop during years, until it’s serious, really serious. I don’t have to prove this with scientific studies, do I? Ok, here is another one, just in case you don’t believe me. This study published in Science, shows that 70% of colon cancers can be avoided by lifestyle changes, 70% of strokes, 80% of coronary heart disease, and 90% of diabetes type II. If they would have studied other ‘modern’ diseases they would have had similar figures. 
We know this! The problem is not that we don’t know, the problem is what we do. What is so difficult about eating healthy, stop smoking, and start running? We make our health an intellectual problem, but it is a problem of self respect and trust. To try a new habit you have to trust that you can do it, and normally it only takes 3 months for the body to tell you if it is right. If it is a mind issue the change can be instant. Having said that I also know how hard it is to change a habit that goes against the mainstream convention. Common sense is ruled out by other values like money or power. For many it’s very hard to be the first one in your group. Even a scientist like the Director of the Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology at Harvard Medical School, Eric Rimm, that you would think would lean on science is stopped by what is ‘ok to say’. I wonder if he himself continues eating trans fats from animals?
It reminds me of HC Andersen’s story about the naked king, fooled to believe that he had visible clothes on. The only one that dared shout out the truth of his nakedness was a small kid. Not until we are enough people choosing to be what we want to be; healthy, it’s going to be ‘easy’ as the choice is made for you. Until then stand out, be the odd one. What do you care most about, your heart or what people think if you eat trans fats or not?

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 💚🌿💜
