Working with Trauma

Trauma is often the reason for the physical symptoms that I see in my practice. Trauma is an event that is so overwhelming to the person that there is a disruption of the natural flow of energy and function within the nervous system. One of my methods for treating hidden traumatic responses isFamily & Systemic Constellation work
        
Trauma can begin with a physical injury, accident and/or emotional injuries. In these moments we can create a survival strategy that is initiated by our defensive physiology.

Calcium D Glucurate helps reduces toxins

We live in an increasingly toxic environment.  Since WWII we have entered a “Chemical Age” where industrial and agricultural chemicals are constantly added to our water, soil, air and our food.  We are faced daily with pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, food additives, drugs, petroleum and petroleum products such as plastics. Some scientists have estimated that 50 to 95 percent of cancers are caused by diet and environmentent.

A key ingredient that can help increase our body’s detoxification process is Calcium D-Glucarate.

Holistic Approach:  Benefiting from CAM, an Alternative to Western Medicine.

By JODY BOWES   Hernando Today correspondent   Published: July 7, 2011

"CAM focuses on the whole person as a unique individual as well as the energy of the body and its influence on health and disease, the healing power of nature combined with the mobilization of the body's own resources to heal itself, and on the treatment of the underlying causes, rather than symptoms, of disease."

Family Constellations: The Orders of Love Between Parents, Children and Excluded Members

Family Constellations reveal deeply hidden dynamics within family systems. Bert Hellinger, the founder of this therapy, saw consistent patterns that led to specific disturbances.

He eventually called one set of patterns "the Orders of Love."He believes that love requires particular kinds of arrangements and movements to be completely given and received "for a healthy and satisfying life."

(1) 
In the first Order of Love a healthy dynamic occurs when children accept their parents and the gift of life as they are without reservations, with all that goes with it.

History of Osteopathy

In second half of the 19th century Andrew Taylor Stills, D.O. (1828-1917) evolved from a conventional physician to become founder of a new kind of healing modality that initially challenged orthodox medicine. During his life he was influenced by: homeopathy, magnetic healing, bone setting, and various popular health movements. Yet, despite these influences Still developed principles and methods that were uniquely his own. He began calling his work Osteopathy in 1874.

Dr. Still’s contributions included a new emphasis on the alignment of vertebrae and bones in the healing process and a theory of disease that focused on obstructions or imbalances in the spine as the central factor in illness.

Lymph Drainage Therapy supports the proper movement of lymph through the body.


Lymph Drainage techniques  are a gentle and efficient hands-on technique.  Developed by French physician Bruno Chikly, LDT is among the most scientifically documented, gentle and efficient hands-on therapeutic tools practiced today.  It is a very unique approach to promoting health.  

The Lymphatic System is very important to good health.This system drains fluids, detoxifies and regenerates tissues, filters out toxins and foreign substances and helps us maintain a healthy immune system.

Medical Schools Embrace Alternative Medicine

"Patients' desire for alternative therapies is driving changes in medical education."

By MERYL DAVIDS LANDAU  (FROM USnews.com)

Now that nearly 40 percent of American adults swear by some form of complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM—from nutrition and mental relaxation to acupuncture, magnet therapy, and foreign healing systems like traditional Chinese medicine and Indian ayurveda—a growing number of medical schools, too, are supplementing medication with meditation.

The History of Zone Therapy and Reflexology


The Zone Theory was the precursor to modern Reflexology, which began with Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, M.D in 1913. Dr. Fitzgerald, an American ear, nose and throat surgeon, noted that pressure on specific parts of the body could have an anaesthetizing effect on a related area. He called his work Zone Analgesia.

Dr. Fitzgerald divided the body into ten equal and vertical zones, ending in the fingers and toes. He concluded that pressure on one part of a zone could affect everything else within that zone.
