The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks.

Royal Family History with Homeopathy and Alternative Medicine: A Comprehensive Timeline

Mid 1800s - Dr. Frederick Hervey Quinn was the son of the Duchess of Devonshire and the 1st Earl of Dunraven. Dr. Quinn was a traveling physician and headed to Naples when he met Dr. Neckar, a protégé of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, founding father of homeopathy. He was very impressed with Hahnemann’s system.
