We believe that there are many aspects which contribute to our health, such as good nutrition, restful restorative sleep, a safe environment, healthy supportive relationships, the abiilty to relax and handle stress, and many other factors.

We also believe that when something goes wrong with our health that it is often more than one area that needs attention for us to heal completely.  Often we look for a quick fix to our problem or immediate relief.  This sometimes comes in the form of a pill which deadens the pain and takes away our ability to feel the signal our body is giving us to warn us that there is something wrong.  None of us likes pain so who can blame us when we take whatever relief we can get.  But let's not forget to give our bodies the resources it needs to repair the underlying problem.

Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal themselves given the right environment and resources.  So it helps to know what they need and to make sure that they get it on a regular basis.  That's why we believe that education is vital to our well being, and seek to provide you with the knowledge you need to restore and maintain your health.

We have assembled what we believe to be a Bare Necessities Package for healthy people to maintain basic health.  We have added to this a few supplements which will protect and nourish your bones and eyes to make the Bare Necessities Plus Package.   We have compiled some suggestions of supplements for particular diseases and we have included links to websites with information provided by naturopathic doctors and people who have battled these diseases. 

We will be expanding this list.  We would be especially interested to hear from you if you have personally overcome a chronic disease or life threatening illness using alternative methods.  Please contact us so that we can share what you have learnt with others facing a similar challenge.

If you are facing a serious health challenge it is our belief that you should consult a trained medical practitioner such as a Naturopathic Doctor or Traditional Chinese Medical Practitioner who will take all aspects of your health into consideration and will treat you with Natural methods which will not be harmful to your body.  Therefore we are setting up a database of Alternative Health Care Practitioners and their specialties to help you find a practitioner who can help you.

Above all we wish you well, and hope to be of assistance in your personal health care.
