Welcome!

Welcome to Health & Vitality Naturals Blogger

Hello folks and welcome to our blog on health and vitality through natural approaches. My name is Maxwell Guta and currently I am the only single administrator and author for this blog. The following are my educational credentials:

 DVM: University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic
MVS (Avian Health): University of Melbourne, Australia
Masters (Food Safety): Michigan State University, USA
PgD (Public Health): University of Liverpool. UK
ABA : Ashworth College, Georgia, USA

 Up to the present day, I have engaged in independent research and self educating for almost seven years, focusing in particular on human chronic illnesses, of which I got to be one of the victims. Therefore, for a while I have been yearning for an opportunities to share my experiences and knowledge on health, ill-health and approaches to staying healthy. I am inclined to looking into health and ill-health in a much different way to the current conventional medical approaches, principles and the philosophical standing. Although my background training and subsequent work experience had been in the Veterinary Medicine Profession, further training in food safety and public health, and my personal life experiences molded my views on health and wellness and enabled me to  realize the shortcomings of conventional medical approaches to health and ill-health especially with regards to chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These shortcomings are realized in contrast to alternative approaches to health and ill-heath which I now subscribe to, i.e. Natural Health Approaches (their principles and philosophical standing). Through this blog, I aspire to contribute to conscientise the general pubic on the power of natural health approaches and how that can be effectively utilized.  The opportunity has come and the time is now to share my experiences with all of you.

 Comments on regular postings are welcome. Readers can also contact me with some questions or issues of clarifications via the contact form messaging or email.

With these welcome opening remarks, I would also like to introduce you to our online store, which allows you access to the natural health products offered by Health & Vitality Naturals. 


Explore and have fun!

Be the Boss of Your Own Health Through the Nature Cure Approach

The concepts of nature cure as a natural health approach was well elucidated in the early 20th Century  by one of the first pioneer authors Henry Lindlahr, in one of his book series  of  nature cure as follows: “ It is vastly more than a system of curing aches and pains; it is a complete revolution in the art and science of living. It is the practical realization and application of all that is good in natural science, philosophy and religion. “The philosophy of Nature Cure is based on sciences dealing with newly discovered or rediscovered natural laws and principles, and with their application to the phenomena of life and death, health, disease and cure”. Use of nature cure as an enabler for being the boss of your own health (taking charge of your own health)  is based on the simplicity of  the nature cure approach as compared to the orthodox medical approach in addressing  health matters.  Lindlahr (1922) argues that nature cure is considered  ...

Taking Charge of your Health - Understanding Basics in Philosophy of Health is Key

  Ontology  provides us with the insights into the nature of existence of the subject matter of interest, in this case, health, in order for us to get to the depth of reality. The study of health  is the study of life. Health is a natural condition of life. Perfect health is the ideal condition of life. Health cannot be extricated from life, for we cannot talk of health, in nonliving matter. The philosophy of health is, in essence, the philosophy of living matter/life. Natural Health , Holistic Health, or Natural Hygiene is the exploration   of all the elements   and influences upon health we   can examine to improve our   lives. Certain truths and natural   laws apply to all humanity  and all living matter . Natural Health, Natural Hygiene  concerns itself with those principles  (fundamental truths, comprehensive laws or doctrines, tenets) applicable to human life so that we may wisely apply them to our   lives. Animals  ...

Why We Need To Supplement Nutrients Intake

Image
  Most of our health care providers including some M.Ds, nutritionists, dieticians, etc believe and/or would want us to believe that we can get adequate nutrients for optimum health through eating a balanced diet. My guess is such beliefs are based on assumptions derived from Dietary Reference Intake values, accepted as science-based by the biomedical community and policy makers. Of course DRI values are so low that it makes sense to believe that you can  meet your nutrient requirement from food intake through eating a variety of foods (given, for example that one orange can provide approx. 65 mg which is within the DRI range for adults). The challenge is: can we achieve optimum health through getting our nutrients from food alone? I argues we don’t, because daily nutrients intake from food alone are ridiculously low ( Hickey and Roberts, 2004), to achieve optimum health. Nutrition is an essential component of our health  and that of any living matter. The science of nutr...
