Darren may be familiar to some through articles, lectures and presentations to professional groups and general public alike. He is the formulator of a remedy for the condition commonly referred to as ‘surfer’s’ or ‘swimmer’s ear’, which is nearing the end of a successful preliminary trial.

A perceived need for and a keen interest in initiating change at a fundamental level in the way natural health care practitioners are recognized by government, the orthodox medical profession, the general public and various other groups, has led to his direct involvement in efforts to make this goal a reality.
