About this ebook
Happiness is often seen as elusive or unattainable. Much of our suffering comes from distancing ourselves from the world around us, from living only in the past or future and from failing to see and accept reality as it plays out in the present moment.
Frank Navratil
Dr. Frank Navratil was born of Czech parents in Vancouver, Canada where he completed a degree in physiology and nutrition. In the 1990's he moved to Sydney, Australia where he studied alternative medicine, iridology and clinical nutrition before practicing as a naturopathic doctor, iridologist, and nutritionist. Since 1997, he has lived in Prague, the Czech Republic where he currently runs a natural therapy practice and directs the Return to Health International College of Natural Medicine. Frank has given countless lectures and seminars in Europe, America and Australia on the subject of iridology and nutrition. He has also appeared on several television and radio programs to talk about natural means of diagnosing and dealing with disease. His first book, "For Your Eyes Only" has been translated into several languages. He is the author of a number of article series on iridology and nutrition that have been published in natural medicine and health magazines around the world. He has worked, too, in Ethiopia where he studied the effects of malnutrition and has assisted an Ethiopian Aid agency to fund the development of an Education Center for the prevention of disease there. His practice and research is based on natural holistic methods that allow the body to heal itself. These include iridology, nutrition, vitamin and mineral treatment, Bowen therapy and diet and lifestyle changes.

Stranded on a Desert Island - Frank Navratil
Stranded on a Desert Island
This island that surrounds us
where many ships have landed
They try to lend a helping hand
but we stay lost and stranded
We chase each endless battle
causing pain along the way
The distance between all of us
grows further day by day
Possessed by our addictions
Our head stuck in the sand
We escape the painful truth
losing track of where we stand
We believe we really can
purchase every dream
Amassing greater wealth
while losing our esteem
We focus all our strength
We strive to be the best
Enriching our net worth
to be better than the rest
So much time is wasted
So much time is lost
We live as if forever
but we always pay the cost
We remember when we fall
or when our death is near
We only think of changing
when our life is faced with fear
We inflict harm to get ahead
What we sow is what we reap
No one may ever judge us
but the secret will never sleep
Behold the law of karma
and let destiny unfold
Can we learn this lesson
long before we get too old
Who will send that ship
to rescue all our souls
and take us back in time
so we can fill up all the holes
We wander through this life
climbing up and down each hill
but will
