    It cost me to realize that there are many things I?m losing because I live in the city, like congresses and more event which help the environment by giving free information to producers and consumer, I would love to visit a place like this one, and if I like it I would stay there and live naturally!

    I think with all the new documentaries coming out about health and the medical “industry”, there’s a lot of awareness being raised regarding alternative health treatments. I too have done a lot of research on herbal healing, and I have educated myself enough to cure quite a series of different infections with herbs. Naturopathy is fascinating.
