The Herbal Advisor began as my radio program on World Radio Geneva in Switzerland for Ex-Pats and English speakers. The stories, the patients, the recommendations I made for countless concerns, became the foundation for Conscious Body Natural Medicine, a natural medicine practice of certified herbals, homeopathy and therapy. Since the start of this practice almost 40 years ago, thousands of clients with hundreds of different symptoms, illnesses and conditions have walked through my door seeking relief and resolution.
They found it and so their stories and my cases are documented, discussed and explained here for you. These articles and notes will provide you with some general guidance, ideas to try and true natural solutions that are being used daily Conscious Body Natural Medicine today.

All of these things have been clinically shown (in very recent clinical studies) to trace their origins back to years of sugar dysregulation.
So why has this become the epidemic of our time? Basically there are three things that have become more and more of an issue over time and when you put them together you have the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).
Read MoreSome studies seem to show that although our lifespan is significantly longer than at any point in history, we actually are being assaulted daily by chemicals, toxins, drugs and stresses that would have killed even the strongest human at any other time.
