Jo Wyckmans; his interest in natural medicine was aroused during a trip to Japan 25 years ago. He subsequently decided to study hygienics at the Institute for Orthomolecular Medecine and he is now in a charge of a company that specialises in supplements and medical products of the highest purity. Jo Wyckmans, who was professionally involved in the field of beauty and aesthetics for many years, was fascinated by the idea of inner health and beauty as a whole.

His respect for life itself and our natural environment encouraged him to explore the essence of the concept of health. His passionate and audacious approach shows us how to apply preventative measures and use food as a healing force. Nowadays Jo Wyckmans co-operates with a considerable number of universities and is a household name with many prominent physicians and professors in many parts of the world.

Jo Wyckmans' book, Healthy on the Inside, Beautiful on the Outside, is the culmination of his quest for a healthy lifestyle in harmony with nature. He is convinced that organic foods are essential to good health and his ideas on nutrition are very closely linked to those applied in orthomolecular medecine. This book represents his philosophy for healthy living and is focused on individual responsibility for health - Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., Author of The Omega Diet (Harper Collins 1999), President, The Centre for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, Washington, DC, USA

Considering the wealth of evidence that daily nutrition affects the risk of chronic illness, in particular cardiovascular disease and cancer, it is of utmost importance to draw constant attention to fine food and exquisite cooking. In his book 'Healthy on the inside, beautiful on the outside', Jo Wyckmans succeeds in combining an interesting read with adequate nutritional information and an optimistic approach to wellbeing - Prof.Dr. Jaak Ph. Janssens MD, Ph.D., Chairman of the European Cancer Prevention Organisation
