BIRTH OF GOINDIS NATURO-FOOD THERAPY
Causes of Lifestyle Diseases
Goindis interest in natural diet all started when Mrs Gurkirpal Kaur Goindi’s Osteoarthritis problem became serious. She had this problem from the age of 15. After the doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi told her that it could not be cured, they went to Hyderabad for naturopathy treatment. That was the time when they got first hand knowledge about naturopathy and carried out extensive research into the subject. However, she developed even more serious problems of asthma, anaemia and digestive disorders that led to bleeding lungs and general debility.

Those who think they have no time for healthy eating and active lifestyle will sooner rather than later have to find time for illness.
Hijacking of Hippocratic Doctrine: Let Food be Thy Medicine
More than 3000 years ago the founder of modern medicine, Hippocrates of Greece had very appropriately said: “Let Food be Thy Medicine”.
