Your Health & the Healthcare Industry

The terms integrated and holistic health now include so many different therapies and health modalities that many consumers, patients and doctors alike are getting lost in the maze, or overwhelmed with choices. This Blog has been written to offer information, guidance and opinions on all therapies based on experience, research and inside knowledge. It will also offer advice and information on specific key health concerns such as fertility, cancer, menopause, osteoporosis, PMS, sleep disorders, heart disease, how to lose weight healthily, nutrition and the list goes on.

Let me start with the premise that I believe that your health should be founded on addressing four key areas: Diet & Nutrition, Exercise & Movement, Environment & Lifestyle and Empowerment (this includes emotional and spiritual health as well as attitude to your health and knowledge). This foundation should be aligned with treatment or wellness therapies that are in line your own person health time line, your own belief system and combined to form your own person health plan.

Your own personal health time line relates to your personal health situation at that time. For example if your liver has failed and you need a transplant, dialysis is only going to do so much and milk thistle isn’t an option. However if you aren’t at this critical stage on your own health time line there are a variety of therapies whether they are allopathic or complementary that offer you solutions. Your healthcare choices are very much a personal decision and this Blog will simply put forward options, information and advice based on knowledge and a vast amount of experience by our blogging team. This Blog will also comment on events and realities in the health and natural products industry which being on the “inside” gives us access to and that I think it is important to make known to the public.

The natural products industry we believe is no different to every other industry and is focused on making money. Making money isn’t a bad thing as books like Sacred Commerce discuss. If business creates a win/win/win result for the consumer, employee, company, community, environment and everyone involved. It is when companies, whether consciously or unconsciously, create a win/lose scenarios that business becomes a negative relationship. However fortunately there are a number of individuals and companies that do try to make a difference, have the best quality products and focus on win/win/win results.

One of my personal business philosophy’s is that if you put people before profit, profit will come.

Please leave me your comments and questions and our team will always get back to you.
