PROFESSIONALS
ASSOCIATIONS
We are always open to meeting people that have a common interest and thrive on the possibility of a synergistic exchange. Although we invite and encourage you to contact us and spend time with us, we realize that this is not possible to do with everyone. Therefore, here we share with you a more structured way for bringing people and ideas together, through the associations that we support and promote.
International
On a world-wide level Dr. Kershaw is an active member of the following organizations
Paracelsus Biological Medicine Network (PBMN)
Paracelsus Biological Medicine (PBM) is a highly sophisticated, scientific, holistic medical philosophy developed by Dr. Thomas Rau of the Paracelsus Klinik in Lustmuhle, Switzerland. For most Americans, PBM is a new paradigm for medicine and health. It is completely different from the conventional medicine (allopathic medicine) we grew up with. While all doctors and staff at the Paracelsus Klinik were originally trained in conventional allopathic medicine, they have chosen to dedicate their professional lives to Paracelsus Biological Medicine because they have experienced the effectiveness of a vision of health that works in harmony with the rhythms of life itself.
World Organization of Natural Medicine Practitioners (WONMP)
Doctors and Practitioners of Natural Medicine are a multiple disciplinary group of Health care professionals- Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Osteopaths, Dentists, Holistic Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Orthomolecular Medical Doctors and Eastern Medicine doctors, amongst others dedicated to providing basic and natural medicine health care, worldwide, especially to impoverished nations. WONMP would like Doctors and Practitioners of Natural Medicine to become a household name, and eventually be recognized under the WHO. WONMP is dedicated to restoring the slowly disappearing art and science of traditional natural medicine to its rightful place in health care, worldwide.
World Organization of Natural Medicine (WONM)
WONM is an international humanitarian NGO, accredited under the International Parliament for Safety and Peace. As set out in its constitution, its objectives are the restoration and effective delivery of natural and traditional health care to impoverished nations as well as the attainment of the highest level of wellness for these people.
Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners in North America
EBNMP –NA is seeking to create a greater awareness of professionalism, ethics, research and educational standards, to protect the public and to satisfy the growing need for an ever increasing, well-rounded health care system.
