Curing Kidney Failure - Are You Kidding?

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:47:18 -0400

Well I’m not, kidney failure and what leads to it, renal insufficiency, is quite a serious disease. Through extensive holistic multidisciplinary research I’ve arrived at a safe economical energy medicine treatment which in 60% of patients, their kidney decline was halted, stabilized with actual improvement in the kidneys leading to substantial delay of dialysis. Another 15% are cured entirely.

Promising new treatment options have arrived for these patients while costly dialysis and kidney transplants can be avoided. This improves and extends the quality of life and saves a huge bundle on health care costs.

Making Melodies from Winter Maladies

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:24:55 -0500

Wow who would of thought that the honeysuckle flowers picked on my childhood backyard fence have been used by the Chinese for centuries to kill viruses. So when there’s that chill in the air, a bit of over work and then the rough tickle in the throat with first signs of a drippy nose, the Chinese anti viral Yin Qiao formula can stop it in its tracks.

Now if that’s not enough then we whip out the Vitamin D3. An adult body makes about 25,000 units of Vit D3 from a 30 minute full body sunbath. Large quantities of have a remarkable effect during the onset and beginning stages of colds or flu. I’ve seen it reverse Swine flu in a child. That’s music to my ears. The adult dose for someone weighing 160 pounds could be 130,000 units in divided doses over a 24 hour period.

Some neglectted flus and respiratory infections, I mean the kind with hopelessly huge amounts of gross yellow and green mucus, respond to homeopathic mercury,which does not contain a trace of mercury.

Just imagine who hasn’t been exposed to mercury through either silver dental fillings, vaccines preserved with mercury, childhood playing with broken thermometers, then not to forget ocean fish? Underlying mercury toxicity can lead to nasty respiratory infections. So then why not preventatively take supplements of L Glutathione or Glycine, such amino acids which help the body excrete this heavy metal. I’m singing tunes of avoiding suffering and down time while preventing illness and enjoying ones life.

The Tao of Longevity

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:24:00 -0500

During a 1985 visit to the foothills of the Himalayan mountains I met a yogi who looked about 40, had long black hair and white teeth. I was to learn that he was 128 years old, spoke several languages fluently and had been friends with Colonel Jim Corbett, who founded the Corbett Game Preserve in northern India. A long time ago the Chinese figured out which herbal medicines tonify the internal organs to prevent disease, improve the quality of life and promote longevity. Very cool we now have these herbs at our disposal. Together with our previous Blog, The Evolution of Laboratory Testing, which details what nutrients a persons body cells are needing for optimal functioning we have some great ways of promoting longevity in this beautiful and terrible world we inhabit.

Layering Acupuncture

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:15:23 -0400

What’s that? Layering Acupunctureis an acupuncture treatment strategy where we simultaneously give the body many messages for healing. It produces a more powerful healing result. This is achieved by synthesizing multiple systems of acupuncture which are skillfully selected to result in a very positive outcomes. With the march of time in human lives, there is plenty of opportunity for disease and suffering. We need every natural tool at our disposal to deliver to the patient an experience of optimal wellness, their birthright.

Hierarchy of Health & Law of Direction of Cure

Mon, 27 Aug 2012 20:21:35 -0400

It’s so important people understand that there’s an interrelationship between the mental / emotional and the physical aspects of health. Furthermore on the physical levels the hierarchy ranges from most superficial least serious on the skin to deepest such as the immune system and fatal diseases. A child suffering from asthma could experience eczema on the skin as the breathing improves, as part of a healing process This is so clear in Chinese medicine where we can see a wisdom behind the manifestation of symptoms. Homeopathy has the potential to further take insights to the deepest levels of original causation of illness, tracing prenatal, and intergenerational traumas. These insights can then be translated into treatment plans which yield deep lasting changes in health. This is our goal.

Holistic Insights with Flower Pollen

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:00:03 -0400

Different systems of holistic medicine give awesome insights into each other. For example take flower pollen. In Chinese internal medicine, the kidneys are really important for energy level, will power, the lower back strength, brain function, and sexual function and potency. There are a few supplements available in the world made from flower pollen which plays a role in plant kingdom reproduction. Mankind has found a way to remove the outer layer of flower pollen grains making them more bio-available and easier to digest. Flower pollen is an excellent energy tonic, and its quite effective to promote male prostate health, reducing BHP, benign prostatic hypertrophy which is quite common in older men. Through the doctrine of signatures in naturopathic and homeopathic medicine we see flower pollens’ reproductive role in the plant kingdom having relevance to human reproductive health. That’s a sort of shamanic insight. Through Chinese medicine, we can deduce that flower pollen is a Kidney tonic.

Perfect Eyesight - Naturally

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:19:23 -0400

While visiting India this January 2012, I had the privilege to visit the School for Perfect Eyesight set in the tropics along the coast of the Bay of Bengal, here I found a holistic alternative to eye glasses. After getting one’s eyes checked by an eye doctor, you go upstairs and have a solution of water infused with rose petal, placed in the eye with a relaxing exercise in the sun. Then you’re taught a series of acupressure massage on the face, hands, feet and ears, all for improving vision. Then relaxing cupping exercise, then reading by candlelight in a dimly lit room, then reading in daylight, then specific eye exercises training the eyes to adjust focus. Then herbal steam therapy followed by cool compress. They call this the yoga of perfect eyesight. Actually it’s a synthesis of Bates method, acupressure with flower and solar healing. I was amazed the results in just a few sessions I was able to read the smallest print. However it does require repeated practice to maintain the improvement.

Evolution of Medical Lab Testing

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:16:08 -0400

Evolution of Medical Lab Testing

For those who think holistic medicine to be a bunch of unscientific hokus pokus, or know someone who thinks that way, listen up! A new era in advanced scientific laboratory testing is here now. There are lab tests which show the function of the individual cells in the body down to the level of DNA. And here’s the kicker, these results show which specific natural clinical nutritional interventions will correct the functioning of the individual cells. This creates an incredible positive global effect on the health. By global I mean all areas health functioning. Amazing but true, and like I said; its here now.

I’ve seen the results first hand in my clinic. And we’ve seen some of the top medical specialists in their fields; well known as the brightest physicians practicing in the most respected medical centers, be unable to diagnose a health condition with all the testing at their disposal. And with this new lab testing we provided those specialists with, not only the diagnosis and underlying cause, but also a quick and easy resolution for the patient.

Healthy Food Choices

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:07:05 -0500

What are genetically modified foods and are they healthy? Genetically modified organisms (GMO) have DNA from one species injected into another through bio technology genetic engineering.

Long term health effects of GMO foods have not been determined as they have not been studied. The USDA does not require foods, ie. produce that has been grown from genetically modified seeds, to be labeled while 30 countries including the European Union (EU), Australia, and Japan, ban or significantly restrict genetically modified foods. Over 90% of commercially grown soy, corn, and canola oil in the U.S. has been genetically modified.

Organically grown fruits and vegetables are the best choice for optimal well being and prevention of chronic illnesses. Therefore you do have a choice and we recommend that be certified organic produce. Freedom of choice regarding healthy food is a basic human right. Let’s get GMO foods labeled so people have that freedom.

One Needle Scalp Acupuncture

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:51:00 -0500

Let’s say for example someone was in a car accident, injuring their neck and right shoulder. Actually the shoulder was already doing poorly from a previous tennis injury. One tiny scalp acupuncture needle, precisely placed, treats all the entire neck and shoulder areas on one side. This includes, not only all cervical vertebrae, disks, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue in the neck, but also the entire shoulder joint, and all muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves in the brachial plexus and upper arm. It is not uncommon to see immediate relief of pain.

The Chinese genius who created this technique, Dr. Ming Qing Zhu, has his patients do physical therapy type exercises while the needle is in the scalp, with fantastic results. Imagine what the results would be like if you combined Zhu’s scalp acupuncture with physical therapy, I know it would be very satisfying. Heck, with results that good maybe they will eventually have acupuncture be covered by Medicare. I may have good lung capacity but am not going to hold my breath waiting for this change to happen!

Economically Using Gold

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:20:36 -0400

Gold’s been used to safely stimulate cure of a lot of health problems for over 200 years. This has been clinically documented in Europe, North & South America, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Now how’s that possible and how can anything made with gold, cost next to nothing and be safe to ingest?

Some of the well proven cures with gold include angina, asthma, bone infections, depression, and high blood pressure, to name a few. Realistically however there are well over 500 illnesses with proven cures by gold.

There’s a process where gold is diluted into a liquid solution which is agitated, and this process is repeatedly done which creates homeopathic Gold. A process that’s been regulated by the FDA since the late 1800’s.

The result is a homeopathic gold medicine, known as Aurum metallicum that costs almost nothing, has no side effects and it has immense therapeutic value when it matches the symptoms and body-mind state of a person.

You need training and skill to be able to do this. And there are homeopathic medical schools and post graduate trainings all over the world.

Natural Self Care for Great Teeth

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 13:57:18 -0400

Finally an evolving body of information on holistic dental health is emerging. So who wouldn’t like to know some really simple self care measures for substantially improving dental health?

Here’s the scoop. The oral environment, specifically saliva, needs to be at a healthy Ph above 6.5, ideally at 7 to 7.5. A lot of our food & drink is acidic. This lowers oral Ph below 6.5, and leads to overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria and plaque.

All that’s needed is to finish meals or snacks with a tooth protective food that alkalizes the mouth. The best choice is Xylitol, known as a natural sugar substitute, it comes from trees. Xylitol inhibits harmful gum bacteria, it alkalizes the mouth, protects teeth, antidotes negative effects of sugar. Xylitol mineralizes teeth and acts as a carrier to bring calcium deeper into teeth. Pineapple’s also good as an ending to a meal.

Some of the best ways to use Xylitol are in the forms of high potency mints, chewing gum and toothpaste. Another option which is good for those who frequently snack, is to place a teaspoon of Xylitol crystals in some bottled water and drink it throughout the day after meals and snacks.

Another point to keep in mind, is to change your toothbrush regularly and disinfect it in a solution like Lysol letting it dry in the sun. Keeping your toothbrush away from proximity to toilets, and other peoples toothbrushes also helps to control exposure to bad bacteria.

The measures described here can make a big difference to improving gum health, demineralization and discoloration of teeth, while preventing plaque and tooth decay. ‘Side effects’ include improved immune system and cardiovascular health.

Making Healthy Food Choices

Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:49:54 -0400

There’s a growing awareness that organophosphates and other pesticide chemicals found in our fruits and vegetables are damaging to health. Young children and during fetal development are especially vulnerable times to get damaged by pesticides.

Recently on national network TV, a pediatric authority was interviewed stating that commercially grown apples were dangerous to the health of young children due to pesticides.

It makes sense for everyone to make conscious choices to avoid the fruits and veggies having the heaviest pesticide concentrations and eat organically grown versions of these. If organic versions are not available then we recommend produce choices that are known to having lowest amounts of pesticides. .

Here’s a list of the 12 fruits and veggies having the heaviest pesticide concentrations, in order of heaviest pesticide exposure; celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nectarines, bell peppers, spinach, cherries, kale and collard greens, potatoes, and imported grapes. People eating 5 selections from this group a day are getting about 10 pesticides in the process.

And here’s a list of commercially grown non organic fruits and veggies that have the lowest pesticide concentration in order of the lowest amounts of pesticides first; onions, avocado, corn on the cob, pineapple, mango, sweet peas, asparagus, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potato, and honeydew melon. People eating 5 selections from this group get 2 pesticides daily.

It’s a good idea to choose organic when possible. We recommend avoiding commercially grown produce having highest pesticides. And, when possible, to wash commercial produce with a water vinegar solution with a scrub brush. Peeling produce helps reduce exposure, but also reduces nutritional value.

A New-Old Light on Causes of Autism

Tue, 31 May 2011 12:30:29 -0400

There’s been a lot of speculation on the causes of Autistic Spectrum Disorders. And I’m in agreement with some of the most forward minded researchers that there is not just one cause. Autism has a combination of causes such as prenatal trauma, unresolved baggage from parents, mercury exposure and suppression from vaccinations.

The concept of suppression from vaccinations has been overlooked. For over a century side effects of vaccines have been clinically documented and reversed by homeopathic medical doctors.

What happens with Suppression? And what do I mean by Suppression? You have a kid who is susceptible to catch measles. You give the kid a measles vaccine so the kid doesn’t get measles. The kid is no longer susceptible to catch measles. But the kid becomes more susceptible to deeper more serious illnesses, such as cancer, lupus, or Autism.

The fact is that Autism involves some of the deepest regions of health relating to the individuals sense of perception, connection and communication with the world. Homeopathic professionals for over a century have observed suppression and its cumulative inter generational effects of driving disease into deeper regions of the temple of human health.

It’s sad that homeopathy is a health care modality that can reverse this suppression and hardly anyone knows about it, and there is so much limitation and suffering experienced.

The Holistic Healing Potential of the Ear in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Disease

Thu, 05 May 2011 15:00:00 -0400

The Ear offers amazing diagnostic insights into health conditions as well as effective treatments for a wide range of illnesses. The ear represents a remarkable microsystem of the entire body. I owe tremendous thanks to the worlds leading exponent of this system, Dr. Li-Chun Huang, a Chinese doctor residing in Florida. She has generously shared her discoveries with great humility.

When the fertilized human ovum develops into an embryo, the differentiation of embryonic tissue that goes on to form every part of the body which is reflected in the ear. The ear represents a most complete and sophisticated microsystem of the entire body.

To the trained eye, physical examination of the ear, can show how well someone is sleeping, it shows past surgeries, inflamed, imbalanced or diseased organs. It shows the condition of the entire spine. Electro diagnosis of the ear further shows the blood pressure and provides more detailed confirmation of visual diagnosis.

Ear therapy lends itself well to combining holistic treatments for faster results. Imagine a middle aged woman developing adult onset diabetes. We give her a clinical nutritional formula to strengthen and balance her body’s internal organs and endocrine system, along with Ear (Auriculotherapy) in the form of ear acupuncture or ear acupressure press seeds to normalize the function of the pancreas and stabilize blood sugar.

Sometimes we see a patient in great suffering with multiple serious health problems all seemingly stacked on top of each other, taking a veritable shoe box full of medications. Ear (Auricular) therapy skillfully applied, often will manage to stabilize the patient and start a path of improvement where other treatments have failed.

The Healing Potential of the Periodic Table of Elements

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:39:00 -0400

One truth that has been borne out in homeopathic clinical practice is that there is a relationship of tremendous healing potential between elements in the periodic table, andimbalanced states of body-mind consciousness that we human beings are susceptible to getting stuck in.

Being stuck in an imbalanced state is not a happy state of being. It certainly does not lead to optimal wellness and fulfilling one’s potential in life.

It is fascinating that elements in the periodic tables, some being gases, some metals, minerals and even some radioactive; each element has its unique structure and atomic weight. It is these elements that form the material creation here on Earth. Homeopathic medicines have been made from these elements and they hold amazing holistic therapeutic potential

The individual characteristics of each element has a connection to stuck imbalanced states of being at the root of disease and suffering.

Elements with a low atomic weight, relate to people who have a weak undeveloped structure in life. For example, they may have numerous environmental sensitivities and be incapable to dealing with simple stresses of life.

Indeed it has been discovered that some of the elements relate to the fetal state of life. It’s not uncommon and sad to find a middle aged person who has lived the last 50 years as if they were in the helpless state of a fetus, as relates to the elements Lithium and Beryllium. Such people may be diagnosed as autistic or manic depressive. These people may turn to alcohol or drug abuse. The homeopathic medicine, Beryllium, given to someone in the Beryllium body-mind state of being, will set in motion a healing response which will open the patient out of their limited stuck phase so they can evolve and enjoy life. Their physical complaints also will simultaneously heal.

On another extreme we find people whose body-mind constitutional state can handle a lot of stress and pressure. They have strong personalities and can be dictatorial, bossy and take on a lot of responsibility. Lead or Plumbum is a heavy metal which when made into a homeopathic medicine and given to someone stuck in this state, will have a remarkable global effect on the patients physical health and mental-emotional balance and resiliency. By global effect is meant that multiple health problems can resolve, for example high blood pressure, migraine headaches, arthritis and gum disease. On mental – emotional levels the patient will be less bossy, less likely toget irritated or angry as easily, and not be depressed.

The periodic table of elements, actually is a map of the evolution of consciousness and health. It offers enormous healing potential in holistic medicine. We find it quite remarkable to see chronic life long problems resolve with homeopathy.

The King's Homeopath

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:06:00 -0500

The King's Homeopath:

I ask myself, why would a King or Queen of England seek out homeopathic medical care?

Well for one thing, homeopathy works from within the person stimulating their on body and mind to heal and balance itself.

As such, homeopathy involves reduced dependence upon doctors and medicines, because it raises ones level of health.

Homeopathy empowers the innate intelligence of the body/mind constitution to be at optimum health. I suppose that idea would appeal to royalty who would not want to be dependent and weak. Then, homeopathy has zero drug side effects. There is also the aspect in most cases a small single dose of the homeopathic medicine in liquid or sugar pellet form is enough to stimulate a healing effect for days, weeks, or months. These are reasons enough why a King or Queen would have the wisdom to seek out homeopathic medical care.

Why is homeopathy popular in India then? Well India was once a British Colony and homeopathic medicines because they are so dilute are extremely economical.

Homeopathy is an important healthcare option regardless of financial and social status.

Cultivating a Deeper Understanding of Health Issues

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:27:38 -0500

National Public Radio (NPR), broadcast an interview on whooping cough focusing on main issues of cost and availability of vaccines. NPR, however does not mention the issue of vaccines being preserved with mercury and must be disposed of as toxic waste. Nor does NPR discuss effective holistic alternatives to preventing and treating whooping cough.

We live in a fast paced world. People are simply ignorant or have been brain washed to accept as truth anything recommended by medical authorities. Or that medical authorities have been known to be influenced by financially motivated pharmaceutical industries.

In the United States of America whooping cough has been successfully treated by medical doctors since the 1800’s with homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic published clinical literature abounds on this effective treatment. And a homeopathic version of whooping cough vaccine is available that costs pennies, is extremely safe for infants, and has no side effects.

If you’ve got an arthritic elbow, or knee that acts up. A common western medical approach is non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). NSAIDS have been known to cause a weakening effect on the lining of the colon. This can lead to a condition known as intestinal permeability. Intestinal permeability is a known cause for arthritis. So we begin to see a vicious cycle of side effects from NSAIDS which in turn leads to the consumption of even more NSAIDS. If we’re interested in optimal wellness naturally and not the rising of a pharmaceutical company on the stock market, we would be wise to look deeper.

In addition to arthritis being induced or exacerbated by NSAIDS a history of constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome for example can also cause intestinal permeability. However many of us have been exposed to heavy metals and that toxicity can cause arthritis. For example those of us who have had silver dental fillings that contain mercury, or those of us who have had those fillings removed and have been exposed. Those of us who eat fish caught in our planets oceans, are exposed to mercury.

Combinations of other factors can lead to arthritis. These include genetic predisposition, history of kidney disease, insult, or trauma. Unhealthy reactions to situational stress and mental / emotional imbalances can be significant factors in the manifestation of arthritis. Bearing in mind that the fabric of a given individuals personality can be damaged by prenatal trauma as well.

All of these factors have been successfully understood and addressed with holistic medicine. We conclude this installation of our Holistic Medicine Blog with a quote which sums up the dedication and quality needed of the holistic physician to provide optimal well being to his or her patients.

……from The Principles of Internal Medicine edited by T. F. Harrison-

“No greater opportunity, responsibility or obligation can fall to the lot of a human being than to become a physician. In the care of the suffering he needs scientific knowledge, technical skills and human understanding. He who uses these with courage, with wisdom and with humility will provide a unique service for his fellow man and will build an enduring edifice of character within himself. The physician should ask of destiny no more than this; he should be content with no less.”

Achieving Optimal Well Being with Holistic Medicine

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 16:43:36 -0500

Our goal of the highest ideal of cure is achievable in most cases.

By understanding the factors causing disease and suffering, and knowing well, holistic treatment modalities, it is possible to see a clear path to optimal wellness. One point I will add here is my philosophical view. That is, human life here is an evolving work in process bringing qualities of peace, harmony, human unity, tolerance, wisdom, beauty, into our daily mundane lives. It is a process of our earthly lives dynamically reflecting something of more divine qualities. Human healthcare is more complex than car mechanics. The phenomena of life and health are multileveled. Holistic healthcare looks at the causes of disease and suffering as being multifaceted.

One constant theme is that holistic treatments are highly individualized to the patient.

In some cases a sequence of natural treatments, delivered with diamond accuracy, is needed. Take for example, an older adult patient suffering from life long insomnia, with constipation, heartburn, fatigue, arthritis in the shoulders, and mental dullness. Furthermore the patient is harboring a lifelong modus operandii of limitations on mental, emotional and physical levels, related to his mother’s genetic body-mind constitutional state coupled with prenatal trauma due to stressful life situations during pregnancy.

Accurate classical constitutional homeopathic treatment will clear away prenatal trauma while lessening genetic constitutional tendencies to limitation. Many symptoms, if not all, will be dissolved, or greatly reduced in intensity as the patient self heals. With this excellent outcome, the patient still has aged internal organs. The aging process has been accelerated by years of living in imbalance. Daoism in Chinese medicine emphasizes physical longevity. Here the inclusion of individualized Chinese herbal medical tonics to rebuild the internal organs comes in as a secondary stage in the treatment. This provides an even higher level of well-being.

At times a synthesis of natural treatment approaches will work best.

For example a patient, according to Chinese internal organ medical diagnosis has a deficiency in an internal organ affecting normal circulation causing nerve pains, neuropathy, in the extremities. The latest generation of laboratory testing provides accurate indications that the same internal organ is not producing a particular amino acid, leading to poor circulation and neuropathy. Therefore the patient may then receive a synthesis of Chinese herbal medicine, Acupuncture and Clinical nutrition. The deficient internal organ is tonified with Chinese herbal medicine, Acupuncture, and the deficient amino acid is provided as a nutritional supplement to lead to a resolution of the condition.

Some treatments need to stand alone in their powerful message to stimulate the patient to self heal. More is not necessarily better. The highest ideal of cure is to do no harm. Even with natural therapies awareness is needed to provide just what the individual patient needs and not more. This approach simplifies, and produces clarity in otherwise chaotic arrays of symptoms and sufferings.

The Holistic Medicine Blog

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:52:00 -0500

I like to say optimal well being is our birthright. Holistic medicine represents many forms of natural healthcare which take into consideration the whole person on physical, emotional, mental levels. The goal of holistic medicine is the state of optimal well-being.

What is it like to experience optimal health and wellness?

Well for one thing, you’re in touch with the truth of your being, and there are no impediments to its expression in your life. You’re free from limitations and blockages which would otherwise prevent you from enjoying life, evolving, progressing, expressing your life purpose.

On a physical level that would mean, for example, not having to live in a glass bubble due to environmental sensitivities, and not having dependence on drugs, or even too many herbal medicines to control symptoms.

An emotionally healthy person would experience an active interplay of calmness, love and positive emotions having a unifying sense with the outside world, while engendering compassion and unselfishness. An emotionally healthy person is aware of the full range of emotions, yet would be free from getting stuck in negative emotions such as rage, hatred, and depression.

Optimal mental wellness will include freedom from getting stuck in delusions and having the ability to comprehend things clearly and rationally. Being in this state of wellness enables one to be in touch with the truth of one’s being and one is able to express that in the world.

How is this state of optimal well being achieved through holistic medicine?

Well, this is a huge topic which will be meaningfully explored in the course of this Blog. Therefore I personally welcome you to this blog which is intended to be interesting, informative and perhaps, on some levels…enlightening.

From my viewpoint, human life is an evolving work in process. Each of us has his or her, own destiny, with unique genetic, prenatal, and constitutional substrata.

Physical, emotional, and mental traumas during our lifetimes represent further complicating factors. The combination of all these elements makes for a rich and challenging opportunity for Holistic medicine to give people back their birthright - the state of optimal well being.

Some points need to be made at the outset.

Simply throwing natural treatments at the ailing person to control symptoms, is a low and smoke obscured path that does not lead to our goal of optimal well being. Holistic medicine shines best when it resolves the underlying cause(s) of the problem(s). A common experience we find is that when the cause of the problem is healed, many health problems will resolve themselves.

Then, the goal with holistic medicine, while first doing no harm, is to stimulate the person’s own system to heal itself. The idea provide messages to the health of a person, to heal or balance underlying causes to disease. Over centuries and millennia, physicians have faced the issues of wellness, disease and suffering. They have made great discoveries. We now live in encouraging times where time tested natural therapies and recent technological advances are coming together to provide effective tools for achieving our birthright of optimal well-being.
