With the dawning of a New Year, we embrace it with its new windows of opportunity flung open for us to have a year of abundance, prosperity and vibrant health.

I personally believe that amidst whatever challenges in store for us in the new year, it is also a year of promise and tremendous growth where we can dynamically thrust forward for the greater good of mankind and drive Medicina Alternativa as well as our  Ecumenical, Medical, and Humanitarian Knights of Charity to a newer level.

Knights of Ecumenical, Medical Humanitarian Order St John of Jerusalem has an illustrious history backed by official Charters we received connecting us directly with the original Order of St John of Jerusalem. Much has happened worldwide since the activities of Founder Gerard of Jerusalem in 1050. The world needs our support more than ever before to lift up humanity to live life to the fullest and I invite you to remain active in the fraternity to reach the Nobel ideals we cherish. The Medicina Trustees oversee the management of the Knights of Charity as per 1993 Charter.

Gone are the days of mediocrity and expectation of average outcomes. For us to shine and be the world leader in Complementary Medicines, we need to be dynamic, and proactive. consistent and creative.

I am sure all of us will rally round Medicina Alternativa and knights of Charity now with greater enthusiasm, vigour and active participation to make things happen: to shine, to lead, and to win the challenges as never before.
