Welcome!
My name is Bella, and I am a Naturopath, Herbalist, and Nutritional Consultant (in other words, Natural, or Holistic Health practitioner). I have a
M.S. degree in Biology and Chemistry, and extensive training in Naturopathy, Herbalogy and Iridology
and am certified by the International Iridology Practitioner's
Association.
I am not a medical doctor, but lots of people call me “Dr. Bella”. It’s because I
have helped them to get and stay healthy after medical doctors gave up on them
(or they gave up on medical doctors, whatever came first). It turned to be that their problems had
roots in improper nutrition and lifestyle.
As
a popular saying goes: "You are what you eat!" Even if it's not completely true
(not all we eat we digest, and not all of it we assimilate), we still have to
watch what we put or don't put in our mouths.
I strongly believe that most of our health problems originate from nutritional
deficiencies or nutritional (and other) excesses (you know what I am talking about!) and
other voluntary and involuntary abuses of our bodies and minds.
Unfortunately we are so creative in inventing and inviting those abuses:
·
our environment is far from being
ideal;
·
pollutants are far from being
under control;
·
we are too often too mean to each
other and to Mother Nature;
·
we eat too much of junk food (or
just too much, period), and
too little of food with real
nutritional value;
·
stress takes over our lives;
·
vital nutrients in our soil and
food supplies are being depleted by excessive processing, and
replaced by toxic residues or
toxic additives (like artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, hormones,
you name it),
·
etc., etc., etc…
Pretty grim picture, isn’t it?
Poor us! What can we do to
survive this nightmare?
–
Mutate?
– It looks like it's a little too late for us (and a little too long to wait for
favorable results in our descendants)!
...or…
– Apply common sense:
·
exercise some restraint and
discipline, and
·
supplement what is missing in our
food with natural products including herbs, vitamins and minerals? –
This sounds like a better idea (and closer to
home, too.) So, let’s go for
it!
As a matter of fact, living creatures for millions of years successfully used
plants for regaining and maintaining their health.
My experience (both personal and with thousands of my patients) shows strong
evidence that natural remedies really work and in many cases provide better,
safer and faster results than conventional medications and treatments (and all
this practically without side effects).
Sorry, no “double-blind” studies (I don’t practice human sacrifices by giving my
patients “placebos”) – just applying my knowledge of Biology, Biochemistry and
Historical Uses of Herbs, and constantly learning from other natural health
practitioners’ as well as my own experience.
