The publication's beginning markets the publication as "a resource for individual assurance", advising users to "turn inward" for remedies. Doubtful Author Credentials The writer is listed as an unverified writer, with a platform profile presents the author as a "thirty-five year old natural medicine practitioner from the coastal town of an Australian coastal town" and founder of the enterprise a natural remedies business.
