Some years ago David and Martha Welling took a trip to Belgium where they found the town of Ghent was the first town in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week. They planned a regular weekly meatless day, in which civil servants and elected councillors opted for vegetarian meals. School children also followed suit with their own veggie day.

A dear friend and fellow conservative health practitioner passed away at age 59 on Chinese New Year 2014. Rene F. Barcelona, ND (MS) was a pioneer in bringing Naturopathy to the Philippines.

The amazing thing about health is that it is NOT an accident, but for that matter, neither is sickness an accident. When you read this statement it should evoke both a sense of mortality and a sense of positive power that you still have the choice to be healthy Vs the choice by default to get sick. In most cases when chronic disease is the problem, preventing an individual from experiencing the full force of a fit and healthy body,…
Paul Welling is a successful businessman and that means he often takes business lunches and dinners at nice restaurants; so over the years he has become stout and a recent blood test revealed that his cholesterol was high. Naturally (actually unnaturally) the doctor prescribed a Statin drug to lower these levels. Now Paul is not a cynical person but he happens to be conservative about running to the drugstore to fill a prescription, and this was the first time he…

Earlier this year I wrote about an Australian businessman, Joe Cross, who saved his life by starting to juice his nutrition. (Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead) Since then I have had several conversations with people who have begun juicing as part of their regular health regimen and the time has come that I have decided to place my entire family on a hyper-nutrition program. Living in Manila, identified as one of the most polluted cities on this planet, my family…

Stewardship is defined as “the activity or job of protecting and being responsible for something.” So how do you rate yourself as a good steward? How good are you at taking care of (responsible and protecting of) your health, your finances and anything or anyone else on which you place a high value? The first time I heard this term was directed to the financial topic of tithing at my church. The life you have is God’s gift to you…
