What we Believe
The human body is magnificently and brilliantly designed by God and has the ability to heal.
Informed consent is essential for providing individuals with the freedom to choose medical treatments and procedures.
Each person is bio-individual and the "one size fits all" approach is ineffective.

Special interest groups often influence public health guidance.
We believe that research and discernment are necessary for identifying reliable information.
