When a member of my family became seriously chronically ill, I was drawn to medical libraries as a mere 12-year-old in search of causes of illness and ways to heal.

In addition to anatomy books and encyclopedias, I also came across autobiographical accounts of persons affected and their paths of suffering and healing. It seemed to me even then that orthodox medical diagnoses and corresponding disease prognoses were certainly not everything. For often it is apparently possible for a human being to miraculously develop powers that defy all probability.

With great fascination for the marvel of the human body, I eventually studied Medicine - and learned about the impressive possibilities of conventional medicine, but also its limitations.

Health is obviously dependent on a wide variety of factors, so that body, mind and soul remain in harmony. Therefore a simple but profound Native American wisdom says:  "Everything is connected".

In addition to the well-known factors such as nutrition and environmental influences, the Indigenous Peoples in particular remind us of our responsibility, our love and our respect - for ourselves, for our fellow human beings as well as for our Mother Nature. Health and dis-ease follow the law of harmony and dis-harmony,  which works far beyond our physical limits.

Thus, it is a great concern of mine to contribute at least a little bit to the fact that Medicine can again become a more all-encompassing healing art, in which physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects flow into each other,. 

In this way, each person could again be seen, understood and healed according to his individual wholeness.
