California, and a lot of water has passed under the bridge, so to speak.\u00a0I have been on a long quest, a journey, which has been quite an odyssey for me, all in the pursuit of the elusive bluebird of happiness.\u00a0And the happiness that continues to elude me so far in my 63 years on this planet is one that has come fairly easily for many people, and which they take for granted: happiness with a woman, or a romantic partner of the opposite sex.\u00a0If God wills it, I shall hopefully fulfill this dream of mine before this life is over.<\/p>\n<p>And along the way, I have been able to explore the world of herbal healing, and Greek and Unani Medicine, and do what I could to network with those who were interested in Greek Medicine.\u00a0Perhaps foremost among these journeys were my two trips to the Holy Land, the first of which I made from Altadena California in 2010, and the second of which I made from Redlands, California in 2012.\u00a0Upon my return to Redlands in 2012, I soon moved down to Guanajuato, in central Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>From Guanajuato, Mexico, where I stayed for a few months, I moved back to Tucson, Arizona, in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.\u00a0Tucson was a very metaphysically and holistically aware city, and, while meeting many companions along the healing path, I succeeded in getting licensed in acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Arizona.\u00a0I also got to know some of the healing herbs of the Sonoran Desert, like Yucca or Ocotillo, and connected with an Apache medicine man.<\/p>\n<p>From Tucson, Arizona, I made two journeys back to Bucharest, Romania, where I first put up this website.\u00a0I was seriously looking to settle down there, but alas, it seemed like it wasn\u2019t meant to be.\u00a0Nevertheless, I did enjoy some speaking engagements at conferences of the AAR, or the Romanian Astrologers\u2019 Association.\u00a0I even wrote an article on one of their conferences for a major American astrology magazine.<\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2014, I took a side trip from Bucharest down to Athens, Greece, where I was most warmly greeted by the Greek Naturopathic Doctor, Matina Chronopoulou.\u00a0We visited famed healing and retreat sites sacred to Mother Nature in the region of Arcadia in the central Peloponnesus, and feasted on all the wonderful natural cuisine of the region \u2013 roast lamb, Dandelion greens, chestnuts, walnuts and golden honey.<\/p>\n<p>On my second trip back to Romania, I tried to make another visit to Greece, but was sidetracked by two things: the unfolding political and economic crisis in Greece, and a Mexican lady who a mutual Mexican-American friend of ours was trying to introduce us to.\u00a0I even went back to Mexico from Romania to meet her, but alas, the relationship didn\u2019t work out.\u00a0And so, I am still looking for that special lady.\u00a0If you think that you might have something to offer me, and we might be able to find happiness together, and you resonate personally with what I have presented on this website, and you are a lady between the ages of 50 and 60, I would love to hear from you, and enter into a dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>So far, this website on Greek Medicine has been my most significant and meaningful achievement in life, and it continues to warm my heart to hear how it has helped and enlightened many seekers of healing wisdom around the world.\u00a0I cannot afford to let this internet mission of mine that I have taken up slide, I cannot afford to neglect this cause, out of a sincere desire to be of assistance to my readers.\u00a0And so, I have embarked on a program to expand and upgrade my website, to make it even more enlightening and informative.\u00a0Yet I do not wish to sacrifice fulfillment in my personal life for the sake of my professional life, and am seeking that balance between head and heart, between partnership and praxis.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently residing in the state of New Mexico, in the city of Santa Fe, the state capital, which is a great center for holistic healing, natural therapies, and spiritual teachings.\u00a0It is a truly beautiful place, and they don\u2019t cal New Mexico the Land of Enchantment for nothing.\u00a0However, I can do my internet work from anywhere in the world, and am willing to relocate anywhere on earth to be with the right person.<\/p>\n<p>And so, if you would like to contact me to offer me any feedback or suggestions on expanding and upgrading my website, or improving its outreach ministry, please contact me.\u00a0If you are in need of a health and wellness consultation, or a Medical Astrology consultation, please contact me.\u00a0And if you are a lady who is interested in exploring the possibilities of a meaningful relationship or partnership with me, please contact me.\u00a0My contact email address is: <a href=\"mailto:davido@greekmedicine.net\" target=\"_blank\">davido@greekmedicine.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nDavid Osborn, MH,
