We do not initiate uplifting projects that result in spectacular effects… We don’t intend to praise theories and “get stuck” before putting them into practice… We do not wish to repeat the same texts already known inside out. What we want is an analysis of our health condition followed by an informational campaign on a healthy life style. Anonymous but honest can be the first step.
