Testimonials

"If we continue investing enormous amounts of money in treating severe disease, which we are quite good at, and if we ignore the factors that cause disease - like urbanization, bad food, smoking, lack of physical activity, stress, etc - then we will just continue to have more and more cases of this disease, including as well more problems with diabetes and cancer. We cannot continue like that."
