Marcus A. Pfeiffer

Hi and welcome to my Amazon Authors Page,

I am Marcus Abdullah Pfeiffer, a German alternative healthcare professional and fitness enthusiast currently living in Spain. I am the founder of Andalucía Health.

One of our missions is to improve the lives of people living with diseases and long-term health conditions/complications. The best way to do this is to educate those who are interested in alternative healthcare. Thus Andalucía Health offers affordable continuing education for alternative healthcare practitioners as well as anyone who wants to learn about alternative healthcare, its benefits and its superiority to other forms of healthcare.

Of course, we do not only offer education, but we offer treatment too.

I was born in 1975 in Heilbronn/Germany. In my youth I was a long distance runner and by the age of 16, I ran my first marathon. Later I came in 7th place in the Baden-Württemberg Mountain Running Championships, and 23rd in the German Mountain Running Championships.

After my years as a long distance runner, I pursued martial arts, and also trained in Karate, Boxing and Kickboxing. In 2003 I was European-Champion in ESDO, which is a branch of IHSDO (International Health and Self-Defense Organisation). It was during this time that I realized the beneficial combination of sports and alternative healthcare. As a result, I worked as a fitness coach, self-defense instructor and a nutritionist.

In 2000, and following extensive research and experiments on the effects of alternative healthcare in incurable diseases such as cancer, I decided to study Naturopathy and undertook different courses in alternative medicine. I developed special fond for traditional Chinese medicine and in particular, Acupuncture.

In addition to this, I also studied other Eastern-rooted treatments such as Hijamah; hijamah is the Islamic form of cupping, also referred to as bleeding cupping.

As a Muslim, I was and still am deeply passionate about using this powerful medical treatment and introducing others to its remarkable healing potential. Embedded in a rich history that spans over 1400 years, Hijamah is an effective treatment for various diseases and medical conditions.

In 2013, and with my diverse background, experience and interests, I felt that combining sports with cupping and developing it to treat and heal sports related injuries was a logical step.

Beside medicine, health and sports I am interested in languages and am proud to speak 8 languages.
