Well, that’s easy.
First, I wouldn’t be here physically had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was born– and second, I wouldn’t be here where I am now intellectually had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was educated – and third, I wouldn’t be here where I am now emotionally had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was nurtured – and fourth, I wouldn’t be here where I am now flourishing had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was encouraged, and fifth, I wouldn’t be here where I am now spiritually had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was inspired – and seventh, I wouldn’t be here where I am now creating had a woman or women not preceded me – in that I was mentored – and eighth, I wouldn’t be here where I am now physically had a woman or women not held me in her arms when the entire world disintegrated and no one else was there to hold me together, piece by fragile, frightened, fragmented and forgotten piece. Fact is, without women, or rather, at any given time a very specific woman, I would never have existed in the first place, or be here now to reflect upon just how grateful I am, and lucky I have been.

I imagine that applies to many of us men, too. It’s a wonder then we still only pay them 75-85% of what we earn, commit acts of violence against as many as 1 in 3 of them worldwide, rape 85,000 to 1.3 million a year of them in just one country, mine, discriminate against them in terms of politics, religion, technology, household, relationships, society, property inheritance, athletics, and – depending on where you live – even the right to go out in public unguarded by a male relative.
Is it 2017 or 1017?

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 💚🌿💜
