Everything is worth nothing.”

My Story

The saying: “Knowledge is Power” is true. I may have acquired some knowledge along the way, after studying and practicing Natural Medicine for over 40 years. Some people call it Complimentary Medicine. I prefer to call it FIRST LINE DEFENCE. Many 1000’s of my clients came to me, only after suffering for a long time under the treatment of Allopathic (modern) Medicine. These people saw me as their last hope, and with the multitude of thankyou notes and testimonials, I believe that it is proof that the body can heal itself. The reason I say that is the fact that I have never seen myself as a “healer,” but rather that I am an assistant to the body. The reason for this statement is the fact that the human body has the inherited knowledge and ability to heal itself, providing it is given the right nutrition and time.

However, I am very keen to share my acquired knowledge with as many people as possible and empower them to live a fulfilled and healthy life. In other words I want to share with you the basic in order for you to; “Put more Life into your years.” That way I hope to realise some of my dreams while helping the thousands out there to also realise their dreams, before time runs out.

Born in South Africa, where I studied and qualified as a pharmacist then went on and obtained a PhD in Biochemistry in Switzerland. At which time I realised that Allopathic (Modern) Medicine has changed from the art of healing, to the science of destruction of disease with harsh chemicals. I went back to Germany to study Naturopathy.

For a short while I went to Canada, but like in Europe, the weather was not to my liking and I came to Australia in 1970, first setting up practice in Melbourne. But due to the untimely death of my wife in 1974 from cancer, I made it my mission to help people with this scourge. This took me to several towns and cities in Australia. In the end I landed in the arid areas of far western New South Wales in Australia, where I also studied Traditional Aboriginal Medicine.

In order to expand my knowledge and understanding, I went to China to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Just for good measure I also spend about 8 months in India studying Ayurvedeic, or Traditional Indian Herbal Medicine. 

 Ever since I started practicing Naturopathy, and with all my further studies, I was looking for a product or a range of products, other than the traditional Herbs, that will help people, especially cancer sufferers to help their bodies to annihilate the disease.

I have known since my student days, that in order to stay healthy the human body needs to be slightly alkaline (pH 7.365). Up till 2006, the only prescription I could offer was the “Alkaline Diet” (bland and boring and very difficult to get compliance from my clients). Then in 2006 I was introduced to a product called XtremeX2O. Since then neither my clients nor I have looked back on those terrible “Good Old Days,” of the strict alkaline diet.

I have long since discovered that there is only one thing worse than work and that is to have nothing to do. That is why after 46 years of one to one consultations, I am giving up my very restrictive (must always be at the office) Naturopathy practice (to the horror of my over 10,000 strong client list), to take up the Xooma cause fulltime. By doing so, I hope to share my knowledge with many more people through the advent of the Internet.
