About Naturalife

Naturalife was established in 1998 by Dominic Galvin and Darragh Hammond in response to the growing interest not only in Ireland but also around the world for natural products to improve health and combat disease. Our ethos as a company is to encourage people to move towards not only taking more responsibility for their own health but to also try a more holistic approach. We hope that by making age old natural remedies easily available to everybody that people will take the step towards natural health. We want to inform people that there are alternatives to prescription drugs for many conditions. It is important to remember two things Primary healthcare - Food, Air, Water and Light - has been around since the beginning of time while modern drugs have been around since the forties. Thousands of years versus 60 years. Drugs are toxins whose benefits outweigh their side effects many of which are not immediately apparent. How many people do you know that are taking drugs on an ongoing basis that have to take numerous different pills some of which are prescribed to alleviate the side effects of the original drugs. Once you are on the "Prescription Drug" merry-go-round it is very hard to get off and the drug companies want you to stay on. At present there is a growing movement away from "orthodox medicine" towards more natural forms of therapy and healing. Previously people would try complementary therapies when orthodox medicine had failed but now many people try complementary therapies at the start. We are going back to basics. People are finally realising that there is not a pill for every ill and that prevention is far easier and cheaper than cure. In Ireland Homeopathy, Osteopathy and Acupuncture are now available under Bupa private health insurance. This is a big step forward. There is a need for both complementary medicine and orthodox medicine and they can work together and complement each other. Holistic is a word which is often used in relation to complementary medicine and herein we believe lies it's success. Holistic is defined in the dictionary as meaning " the treating of the whole person including mental and social factors rather than just the symptoms of a disease ". This is where the difference between complementary and orthodox medicine becomes apparent and why more people are moving towards complementary medicine. People want to be treated for the cause of their symptoms and not just the symptoms. History has shown that when we just treat the symptoms of a disease the chances are that the relief is only temporary. If we look at children and the never ending courses of antibiotics that they are subjected to for ear, throat and chest infections. There is temporary relief and then quite often a reoccurrence of the problem, in fact statistics show that a child treated with antibiotics for an ear infection is four times more likely to have another infection within a year than a child not treated by antibiotics. Despite the huge advances in medicine and the technology that now exists there is still no cure for most degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer and multiple sclerosis. There is however far more pollution, an ever increasing refined food diet and a growing number of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The results of increasing levels of pollution seems to be an increase in allergies and asthma. The refined food diet that results in lack of fibre, fresh fruit, vegetables and essential fatty acids (see Udo's Choice on the FMD shop page) would seem to be why we have higher levels of Cancer and Heart disease than at the start of this century. Progress has brought about wonderful improvements in all our lives but it has also meant that we are the cause of many of the health problems that affect us. It is up to you to do something positive for your body so be bold and take a major step towards Natural Health.
