Understanding your health condition is the first step.  But it is not always easy.  Mainstream media is dominated by the message that for every condition there is a drug or surgical solution.  The long-held image that medicine is based on science is increasingly coming into question.  Your body is not a piece of meat. It is an orderly system governed by laws of nature. 

 THE NEW MEDICINE

BASED ON SCIENCE

The new integral approach to health is based on a wider appreciation of science, the same science of physics, chemistry, and physiology which is the basis of conventional medicine.   But we need to work with nature rather than against it.  And this approach works. It can work for you and for those you care for.  It can save enormous suffering and grief. 

ECOLOGICAL

It is ecological and economical.  The pharmaceutical industry is a major polluter, challenging our future by spreading toxic chemicals into groundwater supplies.  Hospitals burn huge amounts of plastic and toxic wastes. 

SAFETY

The drug based medical system is becoming one of the major causes of death in the United States.  Because of widespread over use of antibiotics in both medicine and agriculture, more and more disease organisms are becoming antibiotic resistant.  This makes hospitals a dangerous place to be.  The system is not working because it attempts to overcome rather than work with the healing processes of the body.

ECONOMICAL

Finally we cannot afford healthcare as it is delivered.  It is no secret that the American healthcare system is bankrupting our country and not just because of the way it is financed or administered.  The economic cost is built into the way medical people think about health and disease. Working with the body simply costs less.  Both in the large scale but also for you, the patient.  My treatment plans typically save thousands in the short term and much more in dollars and in suffering in the long run.

I spend thousands of hours researching all aspects of alternative health care.  This site offers a window into that exciting and dynamic world.  Researching alternative healthcare these days is something like trying to drink from a firehose.  There is so much information, much of it conflicting or incomplete.  My goal is to offer the benefit of my education and clinical experience to help you sort through this mass of information and present new, helpful and interesting ideas.  Bookmark this site and subscribe to my newsletters. (I keep all personal information confidential and never sell my email list.)
