Company History
Dr. Wim Jansen was born during an air raid in World War II, in the
Netherlands. At three years old he was a member of the underground
delivering messages and supplies to those being smuggled out of the
country. After witnessing death and destruction, for family, friends, and
neighbors, Wim knew at a young age he wanted to ease their suffering. As
he matured he realized in order for people to be truly happy they needed
to be healthy, both mentally and physically.
His father wanted him to pursue a career in the
military, but after a two year service in the Dutch military as part of
NATO, Wim was drawn to the healing art of medicine. He then began
his studies at Geert Groote College. Upon graduation he went on to the
University of Utrecht Medical School, studying Allopathic and Natural
Medicine; including homeopathy under the great Dr. Hans Heinrich
Reckeweg. Dr. Jansen’s doctoral dissertation dealt with the function
of the pancreas and was read worldwide. This lead to Dr. Nathan Kaplan,
the chairman of the department of biochemistry at Brandeis University in
Massachusetts, to offer him a research and teaching position in
enzymology. After three years of cancer research, Dr. Jansen found much
to his dismay, the goal of most research was not to find a real solution
to cancer, but to obtain results that would please the sponsors or the
research grants, which were usually drug companies. Morally he could not
continue with that type of biased medical research. He decided to leave
Allopathic medicine and focused his studies on Natural medicine at the
Ontario School of Naturopathy, in Kitchener, Canada.
Returning to New England, in order to support himself
while trying to set up a practice, Dr. Jansen became part of the research
team for the Framingham Heart Study at Framingham Union Hospital. There
he developed methods to measure the levels of HDL and LDL
cholesterol, as well as their new Nuclear Medicine department. He
became a full member of the Society of Nuclear Medicine for Physicians.
Meanwhile he continued seeking out the many different
healing forms of Holistic Medicine, such as Native American Shamans,
Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Nutritional Therapy, and Holistic Psychology, as
well as keeping up his skills in homeopathy by attending seminars
presented by Biological Homeopathic Industries/HEEL.
After seeing kinesiology and contact reflex analysis,
Dr. Jansen developed MUSCLE RESPONSE TESTING, which is documented in the
Anti-Aging Manual by Joseph B. Marion. Recently he has developed I.E.T.
(Intensive Energy Therapy) highly focused energy therapy sessions for
rapid immune system stabilization.
In 1979 he founded the oldest official
Natural/Holistic treatment center in New England, “Tree of Life Wellness
Center, Inc.”. In 1985 he began his popular live holistic radio talk show
and is currently featured on Holistic Healthline on WHJJ Talk Radio 920
and WSAR Talk Radio 1480 with co-host Practitioners, Peter Morrell N.P.
and Jane Jansen N.P., which can be heard in New Hampshire, Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Dr. Jansen began teaching
his style of Naturopathic Medicine to select students dedicated to
Holistic Health in 1991. Peter Morrell and Jane Jansen are the first
students to complete their Naturopathic studies and Internships as
Naturopathic Practitioners under his guidance.
Dr. Jansen is the first in the United States to bring
a credited, two semester course at Seekonk High School, in
Massachusetts, “Careers in Holistic Medicine”, with Peter Morrell N.P. and
Jane Jansen N.P. as the primary teachers. He hopes this type of class
will be offered in every High School around the country. In 1999 he was a
featured panelist at the Annual meeting of the Diabetes Foundation of
Rhode Island, and in 2003was a featured guest of the Rhode Island Mental
Health Association.
Recently Dr. Jansen has developed new methods for
Immune System Therapy to promote a more rapid healing response,
particularly for the most critical illness in which time is of the
essence.
Today Dr. Jansen continues his research for knowledge
to perfect his skills and understanding of healing arts, which he shares
with his colleagues, patients, and audiences. Dr. Jansen has always
been the leader in Holistic Medicine, patients remark “We have been going
to Dr. Jansen and associates for years, because they are the best, and
when it comes to our health, we want only the best!”
