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?

I'm a Naturopath since 20+ years and today we are consultants in the natural health sector to support entrepreneurs. Our mission is to defend Natural Immunity and Health, the only one that really works. We mainly but not only use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, etc. Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies want. Our Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one, working with the energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or other names for the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease depression and traumas. Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 petrochemical derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a 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 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 (USA/Spain) and herbalism. After teaching since 2005, I dig down in etymology and the original (mainly 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) many events and consultations, is still giving me Yang and inspiring 💚🌿💜
