I suggest that women are also, in addition to possessing th...

Profile Information
- Source of my passion about the power of business to fight poverty
- I am just interested
- Industry:
- Natural Health Care

- Trained in natural health therapies, I am now developing project proposals that connect natural health and agriculture.... because healing depends on access to healthier foods. I believe natural health and integrative medicine offer much to our country's economic recovery if only its potential as a driver for greening the marketplace and the environment can be highlighted. Most of natural health is entrepreneurial and free enterprise and an excellent example of what conscious capitalism has to offer world peace.
