Medications from the pharmaceutical companies are there to often treat symptoms and sometimes, probably rarely should they be used. We should use foods, dietary changes, herbs, and vitamin supplements to change our body function to allow it to heal itself.
The body is like a new house going up. If you have too many nails and not enough drywall then the house will not be as planned. Something has to give. We get a new body every seven years and if we give it what it needs to heal itself there will be no need for lists of drug company medications.
Most medications for diabetes, hypertension, depression, mental disorders, arthritis, rhumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancers, asthma, COPD, IBS, crohn's, disease, celiac sprue, and high cholesterol just for starters have equivalent treatments with herbal or homeopathic medications with little to no side effects compared to the drug company choices recommended by your doctor. As doctor's we are educated by the pharmaceutical industry with their grants to our med schools, as are pharmacists and nurses and we are brain washed not to know anymore. The demanding of the public is allowing this scientifically based holistic medicine to help so many more people.
You have choices and you have hope to feel better, not just survive with debilitating symptoms. See a holistic physician and hopefully a holistic center that put together all your needs for a healthy body and mind. Dr. Alt

Cranial-Sacral Manipulation
Cranio-sacral manipulation refers to hands being placed on your head with differing pressure. The point is that there is motion in the skull bones. They are not fused together like chalking in the bathtub. There are hundreds of small interdigitations along a suture line. These maintain until the day you die. Those osteopaths that have been trained feel subtle movements and "hang-ups" when a small interdigitation is stuck. Much like a door that won't close smoothly at one point in the frame from rubbing. You must go to someone skilled with experience. The head which is the cranio part and the sacral which is the tailbone part is connected. There is flow of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) from around the center part of your head down along the spine to the end of your tailbone. There is movement that is or so subtle that is our life force.
Headaches can be treated along with general fatigue, back pain, feeding difficulties in newborns, neck pain, chronic pain, and visual difficulties just to mention a few. The treatments are very relaxing and should be part of a whole body approach to treating your body. The treatments can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour on an average. Often going home for a nap to allow the changes facilitated by the doctor's hands will be welcomed. But, you will survive returning to work if necessary.
The cranio-sacral movement ceases in death, so preservation of normal movement is necessary for our general health and well-being. Any car accident or fall affects our head with a force that can be stored for years in the fluid mechanics palpated with our hands. Cranio-sacral treatments can release these trapped forces for normal function of our CSF flow therefore betterrment of our health.

Holistic Nutrition for your Any Disease and Good Health
Wow, what a topic. To think that nutrition is really the key to how our cellular function works. It's true. What we put in our bodies or what we don't affects how our body can function on a cellular level. Aristotle stated so eloquently, let our food be our medicine, not our medicine be our food.
The nutritional level of our food has dropped at a screaming rate. It now takes 240 oranges to give us the same vitamin C we had in one orange in 1970 when I was in high school. It now takes 10 pounds of spinach to give us what one pound gave us in 1970. The bottom line is that we can not physically eat what we need to get all the nutrients we require. So all of us need vitamins and minerals for supplementation. The key is to get with someone who has the chemistry, not just selling the product for a profit. A CCN, certified clinical nutritionist is the place to start or like our center where we work as a group providing your health care. Not all supplements are created the same. You have to know you have quality, another words 50 mg is really in the capsule and then what are the human data studies to back up that you can absorb the nutrients.
Dairy another whole blog, but just an introduction here is the most inflammatory food you can imagine. It is the source of leaky gut syndrome, allergic component etiology, pesticides, and xenoestrogens (false hormones). Look at www.milksucks.com and www.notmilk.com for more true facts on dairy and the diseases we face. When the chair of the Harvard pediatric department is writing books, Do Not Drink Your Milk, we had better listen. More blogging on this later.
So, for the best health a triad of care is needed for both male and female, bioidentical natural hormones, vitamin supplementation, and exercise. A dairy free is diet is an absolute for avoiding terrible diseases and curing any that we may have. Blessing to all those who are trying to change their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Keep listening, don't be conned by advertisments. Dr. Alt

Natural Holistic Medicine Woman
Welcome,
I'm new at the blog world, but had some of my geek buddies that I love walk me through this. These geek buddies are awesome business dudes that are actually patients of mine that felt blogging is imperative to let the world know about holistic medicine.
I have been a physician for 20 years and started holistic medicine 4 years ago. Conventional medicine I know like the back of my hand. Traditional medicine which is Chinese, holistic, homeopathic, eastern, energy, American Indian has centuries of experience and study after study that supports the use of herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines, and the laying on our hands. I have seen actual miracles of healing that I did not see with conventional medicine alone. The healing process involves mind, body, and spirit and one will not heal without the aspects of the others. We are a living organism that should not wait for the treatment of symptoms to know what we have to do to prevent the disease state in the first place. Follow us along on this website as we present options for health, treatment of disease, and smiles for your family.
