Book description
Although Jan de Vries finds himself too young for an autobiography,
many of his friends and patients have pushed for it. A Step At A Time
recounts de Vries' amazing journey so far, beginning with his upbringing
in Holland - during which he experienced the 'hunger winter' of 1944 -
and charting the development of his amazing 40 year career, throughout
which he earned a reputation as an enduring guru of alternative
medicine. This gripping and highly entertaining book reveals much about
the man and why so many turn to him in his role as a respected
homeopathic doctor. Whether it is royalty, film stars, sportsmen or the
general public, his clinics are all greatly overbooked, making it
difficult at times to get an appointment with him. What is the secret of
'the man with the x-ray eyes', who he sees many things that others do
not. Is this an extra sense, intuition, or just the experience of over
40 years of dealing with people medically? In almost 40 books written by
him in his life so far, de Vries has shared a great deal of his
knowledge with the world, which he has gathered by himself via
independent research, and through consultation with his great teachers.
However, in A Step At The Time, he reveals some of the secrets that
people have always wanted to know, such as how he can consistently work
over 90 hours per week and manage ten clinics throughout Britain. In
this candid autobiography, he shares some of the gifts that were given
to him and for which he is very thankful. Jan de Vries was born in
Holland in 1937 and moved to Scotland in 1970, where he set up one of
many residential clinics. He lectures throughout the world, regularly
contributes to BBC radio shows and is the author of numerous alternative
medicine publications.
