Elements of a Personal Introduction - Petros Evdokas Healthcare work Orientation; Roots, training, education and experiences My roots are in Biology and the Life Sciences, and I practice Natural Therapy. In other countries (and some States in the US) this is known as Naturopathy; also as Complementary~Alternative Medicine. Perhaps the best "label" is Traditional, Indigenous and Natural Medicine, in accordance to the guidelines and definitions of the World Health Organization, (WHO): Traditional Medicine: Definitions https://web.archive.org/web/20160212013212/http://www.who.int/medicines/areas/traditional/definitions/en General Guidelines for Methodologies on Research and Evaluation of Traditional Medicine https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/66783/WHO_EDM_TRM_2000.1.pdf In recent decades, most of the people (and some animals) in my care are individuals who struggle with chronic illness. Among them, a few have been struggling with life-threatening illness or injury, and some with terminal conditions. A smaller percentage of people in my care face light (or shallow) illness or injury, which usually includes acute periods with intense symptoms. Occasionally, there are also individuals with imaginary illness. The smallest percentage is people who are actively involved in cultivating and maintaining health through natural health-minded lifestyles, and who embrace preventative medicine. Roots, training, education and experiences My earliest "official" service in healthcare was as a volunteer military medic/ nurse. All the rest, including my formal studies in Biology, learning and development in Alternative Medicine as a barefoot (sneaker-footed) practitioner, can be seen here: Affidavit http://www.cyprus-org.net/petros-evdokas/Petros_Evdokas_Biographical_Note.htm But like most practitioners of Traditional Medicine, my earliest "unofficial" experiences in healthcare began in childhood and my teen years. Methods Everything that Nature provides, including knowledge that ranges from chemistry and anatomy-physiology to medical humours, constitutional and elemental approaches and metaphysics are all part of the path: Methods http://petros-evdokas.cyprus-org.net/methods.htm Current work I'm one of a small group of collaborators working as volunteers in the community.
