Healthcare work Orientation; Roots, training,
education and
experiences
Healthcare work Orientation:
I practice Natural Therapy. In other countries (and some States
in the US) this is known as Naturopathy; also as
Complementary~Alternative
Medicine. Perhaps the best "label" is Traditional,
Indigenous and Natural Medicine, in accordance to the guidelines
and definitions of the World Health Organization, (WHO):
Traditional medicine

In recent decades, most of the people (and some animals) in
my care
have been struggling with chronic illness. Among them, a few have been
struggling with life-threatening illness or injury, and some with
terminal
conditions - we don't always win: a number of people in my care have
passed
away.
A smaller percentage of people in my care face light (or
shallow) illness
or injury, which usually includes acute periods with intense symptoms.
Occasionally, there are also individuals with imaginary illness.
The smallest percentage is people who are actively involved
in cultivating
and mantaining health through natural health-minded lifestyles, and who
embrace preventative medicine.
Roots, training, education and experiences
My earliest "official" service in healthcare was as a volunteer
military
medic/ nurse.
All the rest, including my formal studies in Biology, learning and
development in Alternative Medicine as a barefoot (sneaker-footed)
practitioner,
can be seen here:

Methods
Everything that Nature provides, ranging from chemistry and physiology
to medical humours, constitutional and elemental approaches and
metaphysics
are part of the path:

Current work
I'm one of the volunteers working to establish this Healthcare
Collective
as a viable ongoing entity:

In the last three years I've been dividing my time between
the US and
Cyprus, a small island in the Mediterranean.

I'd be happy to answer any questions and to read or hear
your feedback.
Thanks!
