The journey to health
The journey starts with Nikolaos. For years, Nikolaos worked for a big global pharmaceutical company as a representative, visiting doctors to inform them about the latest drugs on the market. Having suggested many of these drugs to practitioners, Nikolaos couldn’t help but feel that he didn’t know enough about overall health and science to truly understand the impact a drug could have on an individual.
In 1981, life had taken a turn, which led Nikolaos and his family to migrate to Australia.
Two years later, Dimitrios was born. Nikolaos raised his son in a very biomedical, conventional medicine manner. Little Dimitrios, however, was deteriorating in health. He was constantly sick and having infections, which were treated with the typical medicine and drugs Nikolaos was only too familiar with collaborating with his client doctors. Dimitrios went through ultimate highs and lows when it came to his health. When his son started to decrease in size and lose weight, Nikolaos knew he had to do something different.
Nikolaos sought help in natural therapy, through self-education and homeopathy, and it was not long before natural health practitioners helped bring back health to his son! Amazed by what had happened, Nikolaos found a new passion and commenced studying natural medicine to educate society on the power of natural medicine. A passion, inherited by his son Dimitrios, who completed not 1 but 3 degrees in natural medicine in Australia.
Now, more than 4 decades later, the health journey of the father and son duo continued back to their motherland and met its destiny.
