Dr John Fielder, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Lifestyle Consultant, author, and broadcaster lives on his 300 acre farm in the hinterland from Cairns in North Queensland Australia where he has been demonstrating the principles of Natural Living and Natural Hygiene for more than 30 years. During that period he has helped hundreds of people regain their health, many from so-called incurable diseases, as much by his own personal example as by the advice he has offered.
Dr Fielder Eschews the use of all forms of medication whether they be so-called 'natural' or otherwise, including supplementation. He believes solely in the self-reparative nature of the organism and its ablility to heal itself given the necessary care, attention and environment. The only exception being in the case of mjor trauma where reparative surgery is necessary.
Dr Fielder describes the natural approach to healing as being "An Alternative to Medicine, not Alternative Medicine".
