Kuoni Jürg Dr. med (1945), Specialist in general medicine for more than 30 years. Additional training in sports, nutrition, stress and chronic medicine. After giving up practice, focussed on preventive medicine. Until he realised that 90% of preventive medicine, like published biomedical research, is a business model. On the one hand, financed by the public and made into good money by a few mega-publishers, who thus also have control that nothing is published outside the mainstream model. On the other hand, financed by the pharmaceutical and apparatus industry in order to maintain the dogma "a pill for every ill". This is why 90% of biomedical publications are a priori rubbish. People tend to take at face value what they hear or see every day, whether voluntarily or involuntarily: fat makes you fat, cholesterol clogs the arteries and causes heart attacks, sport is healthy, losing weight means eating less and exercising more, stress makes you ill. All rubbish, that's why I'm agnostic in every respect. Doctors should be more concerned with maintaining health rather than just treating illness? Just not that! We lack any prerequisite for that!

Mend Matthias (1960, has been exploring the fascinating facets of water for over 30 years.

He then focussed on water as an investment good, the aspects of sustainability and environmental protection as well as the central role of water for health, performance and well-being. Following further training in the areas of health, personal development and marketing, he has focussed entirely on the topic of water and the sustainable use of this natural resource since 2008.
