From an experienced Physician and Cardiologist

Many people are confused by the advice they receive from their health practitioners, their friends and ‘Dr Google’

Dr Gerald & Dr Monica Lewis

With his wife (Dr Monica), Dr Gerald has practised medicine in Public Hospitals and Private Consulting in New Zealand for over 40 years.They have together published a number of books on Complementary Medicine, Heart Disease, Nutritional Therapy, and Cancer; and have been asked to lecture on these topics around the world.

Now they are providing their advice on line to enable people to address their own health issues with more expertise and accuracy than dredging through the web. The site is also written for medical professionals who have had little opportunity to research and understand many of the complementary therapies which can really make a difference to health.
