Dr Xandria Williams PhD, has written over twenty books, published in several countries, and 400 articles on naturopathy and the natural therapies. Her previous books have been technical. This one is a career autobiography with many helpful and illuminating insights. It is replete with coverage of her travels, and anecdotes about cases, the lives she has helped, her various jobs, and the career she has carved out for herself. Having travelled extensively around the world she returned to settle in London in 1995. You will find some of her decisions and actions breath-taking, yet successful and informative. There are, essentially, two approaches to health care, very different and often in conflict: a) overcoming disease uses drugs, technical- and surgery based disease management with frequent adverse and toxic consequences. b) restoring health (homeostasis) is focused on natural, supportive, and non-toxic aids with many benefits. In Australia, where she trained, naturopathy in the 1970s was a well-respected career that followed a 31/2 year full-time undergraduate degree-level course. She was disappointed to find, in 1995, that few people in the UK knew anything about naturopathy or the opportunities that such a career could provide, and took it upon herself to bring it to the forefront of alternative medicine. In view of our uncertain future, the changes in our climate, ecology, social, and political environment, and the increasing cost of the damage we are doing to our planet, this autobiography can show you a different way. A natural lifestyle can be a powerful antidote to many of the problems of to-day. It offers many rewards and benefits, and much satisfaction.
