Bruce Thomson is a veterinarian now in semi-retirement after some 22 years experience in mixed practice...

His daily rounds included a range of clinical disciplines that a medical doctor could only dream about:-

"Midnight" Caesarean sections of cows and cats
Paediatrics
Geriatric management of pets
Radiography
In depth blood testing and clinical pathology - often the preserve of specialists in the human health field.
Epidemiological analysis of large herd and flock disease outbreaks.
All aspects of diet and nutrition.

Bruce Thomson on Mount Maori (first ascent of East Face)

The Author on Mount Maori - having made the first ascent of the East Face. For more mountaineering photos, see:- Bruce Thomson - Trail Runner

He is now putting that experience to use in developing a "Self Health Management" approach to human health issues.

When it comes to independent thinking capable of covering the whole human health field, a researcher with veterinary experience has the unique advantages of a generalist:- We certainly need medical specialists but I think you will agree that the generalist approach does have its merits when it comes to developing information resources for those who are keen to "Self Health Manage"!

Family Man...

Bruce is a family man, giving help and support to wife and partner of 8 years (as at December 2004), Glynis. With twin babies in the family, you can appreciate that he must have developed at least some strategies of time and self-health management along the way. Glynis is a registered nurse, classical homoeopathist and accomplished wellness councillor.

Fitness Orientated Life Style...

Bruce has a fitness orientated lifestyle. As a mountaineer in New Zealand's unique Southern Alps, he has twice climbed New Zealand's tallest mountain (Aorangi -Mt Cook), and has also partnered two climbing first routes. His current fitness interests involve dry land training for cross-country skiing with the occasional foray into that much loved snow, and maintaining the body for the demands of work and life.

Personal Experience of Musculoskeletal Afflictions...

He has personally experienced many of the common musculo-skeletal afflictions of human-kind, from shin splints and knee pain to shoulder and tennis elbow problems. Says Bruce, "Pain is a great motivator for finding curative strategies!" However, it's not just pain that motivates Bruce. He has a genuine desire to help people to find easier answers to life's problems.

A Christadelphian...
Bruce comes from a family background of active Church of England Protestantism, and currently worships God as a Christadelphian. He feels that Christadelphianism brings a logical, fresh and extremely biblical approach to world view, ethics and daily living.

I recommend to you the following Book, which is available to read online, absolutely free of charge:-

Christendom Astray: A Compilation of Lectures delivered by Robert Roberts in 1862

It is scriptural.

It is logical.

It is revolutionary.

It makes sense of the bible like no other book that I know.

The author's recommended low impact exercise:
"Ski-walking"
When performed correctly, ski-walking aids correct body movement and posture, and is less damaging than "power walking" or jogging! An "uphill component" can be added by putting a pack on the back...
