Manfred Urs Koch’s passion for learning the secret of human nutrition was sparked by two tragic incidences in his life. After the loss of a best school friend from leukemia followed by the loss of a great uncle due to Parkinson’s disease, Manfred studied nutrition intensely for three years. Ultimate Nutrition for Health (formerly Laugh with Health) is the result. Using the book as the main text, Manfred has taught nutrition to naturopath students in his native Australia. He lives in New South Wales, Australia.
