I am a retired physician with a longstanding interest in natural healthcare.

I became interested in natural healthcare because some of my patients (rather strongly) preferred “natural” alternatives to medicines and because these patients aroused my curiosity about why some people stay healthy, young and vital while others fall ill, age rapidly and lose vitality.

I became interested in Wikipedia because of the unique nature of the project itself and because so many people seemed to rely on it as a readily available source of information. I quickly discovered that it is more personal than a printed encyclopedia while still authoritative. The turning point for me was finding a small piece of software that allowed direct access to Wikipedia. This made searching Wikipedia more convenient and, therefore, a more frequently employed means to find information on many topics.

Now, I am a registered user, but it remains to be seen how much I contribute to the development of the content of Wikipedia.
