Beauty queen and actress Patricia Javier is all for good health and wellness.
In fact, she considers it her life purpose; one that won her the Mrs Universe Philippines title in 2018.
“When President Duterte announced on national TV that we now have a war against COVID-19, and that our best defence is good immune system, I took it as a signal to pursue studies in naturopathy together with my brother Israel Canlapan,” she said.
Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on the principle that the body has the capacity to heal itself through natural means.
“We studied live blood analysis and electro-energy frequency therapy which we both have in our clinic,” Patricia said.
Israel is the resident naturopath of The Doc Rob Vitality and Wellness Center that Patricia opened on Tomas Morato in Quezon City. It is directly in front of the Doc Rob Chiropractic Clinic on Scout Madrinan. Both facilities are named after the husband of the Mrs Universe-Philippines, Doctor Rob Walcher, a sought after American chiropractor practicing in the Philippines.
