Hi, my name is Jan, I am a semi-retired (if that's possible at all) biologist and live in New Zealand. I am interested in the non-conventional sides of health care. The forum appeals to me because I am a strong believer that there are more roads that can lead to Rome if it comes to maintaining health and effective treatments. Health care should not be the exclusive and divine property of established medicine and alternatives need to be given equal chances without having to be judged against the established systems. Not easy, I know, but very interesting and worthwhile to pursue. A little competition should be healthy (pun intended).
