WONMP was established in October 2003 by Hon. Dr Sheila McKenzie appointed Public Diplomat of the International Parliament for Safety and Peace (IPSP) and co- founder Hon. Dr. Charles McWilliams, to satisfy the needs for a Humanitarian Medicine department under IPSP and to fulfill her appointed duties as a IPSP Public Health Diplomat.

During its infancy Hon. Dr. McWilliams and Hon. Dr. Sheila McKenzie collaborated on its foundational structure for humanitarian medicine to the poor. To fulfill its mandate to deliver cost effective natural medicine health care to the poor a registry was established to register practitioners and doctors with established educational standards and organizations that concurred with its mandate of humanitarian medicine.

At WONMP’s third general assemble meeting held in Equator, October 2005 it was decided by the majority of its executive members to establish the World Organization of Natural Medicine (WONM), under the auspices of Hon. Dr.  Sheila McKenzie. The newly formed organization would reflect her broader mission for humanitarian healthcare to the poor. WONMP under the auspices of Hon. Dr. Charles McWilliams would continue to establish worldwide educational standards for organizations and individuals who agreed with WONMP’s mandate for standardized natural medicine education and accreditation.

WONM philosophy is based on fundamental human rights, calling for recognition from both individuals and governments to recognize the right of natural and traditional medicines as a viable choice for the poor. It seeks to fulfill its mandate for humanitarian medicine by establishing “CLINICS FOR HUMANITY” to deliver free natural medicine healthcare geared especially to the poor. It is working on developing a team of volunteers representing nations, with established missions and registered offices.

WONM is not a credentialing organization its servants to humanity “Qualified Doctors and Practitioners of Humanitarian Service are required to provide disaster relief (nutrition, emergency medicine), community development to underserved individuals to the urban poor, rural areas or disaster relief as needed.

WONM’s objectives, as set out in its constitution, are the restoration and effective delivery of natural and traditional healthcare and attainment of the highest level of wholeness, especially for impoverished nations.

“Wholeness,” as defined by WONM’s constitution is more than the absence of disease; it is an approach to health that aims to reduce risk of serious illness by, being proactive not just reactive, providing prevention not just treatment, and encompassing a total approach as opposed to segmented parts, i.e., viewing the individual as body, mind and spirit and finding a balance. It is a framework for achieving potential well-being and a lifelong process. Nations experiencing wholeness in body, mind, and spirit are less likely to engage in war and unresolved conflicts with other nations.

WONM is not necessarily "disaster relief," but rather "poverty relief," meaning its objective is to develop community clinics, that engage in traditional natural medicine health care, education for local populous and community development where the need is more urgent.
To meet its main objective, it is engaged in the following activities;

  1. To collaborate  and form partnership with  government and non government organizations with similar goals
  2. To maintain a registry of doctors  and practitioners for  humanitarian service who are available to be dispatched for community, or emergency  healthcare to under- served areas as needed
  3. To teach communities to document, for future generations, the skills handed down from their ancestors.
  4. To maintain a registry of doctors and practitioners that are traditional and natural medicine healthcare oriented, to work as a unified group, to restore and promote the use of traditional natural medicine healthcare worldwide, and to alleviate human suffering.
