 There are crooks and dishonest practitioners in the pet care industry just like in the people care industry.)
Holistic animal care practitioners
It's not all bad news, though. Fortunately, there are more holistic practitioners in veterinary medicine than in human medicine, and it's fairly easy to find a holistic vet in any major city if you look around. The holistic veterinarians understand nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and other natural modalities. They prescribe solutions and treat animals in ways that are outlawed in human medicine (because they actually work). |

 In this latter category are biofeedback, hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, "lifestyle diet," and vitamin therapy, which, together accounted for less than 10% of total visits to alternative medical practitioners.
Four in ten of these treatments were disclosed to physicians (though we are as always skeptical of such self-reported data), a rate which did not change from 1990. Extrapolation to the U.S. population suggests that there were 629 million visits to alternative medical practitioners, compared with 427 million in 1990. |

 Another advantage of finding a doctor who works in a medical school is that, unlike other practitioners in the community, relatively few of these doctors are involved in the kind of managed-care practice that requires them to see a patient every fifteen to twenty minutes. Academic medical practice is often an add-on to the faculty member's other duties. He or she does not have to make a living in practice; such doctors receive a salary both to teach and to see patients. Thus, some academic practitioners can see as many or as few patients as they wish. |

 Clear you sinuses by blowing your nose after using the firing range. Yoga practitioners often use a neti pot to wash the sinuses with salt water, but it's probably not likely that many people are both yoga practitioners and shooting range customers.
Change your clothes and shoes so you do not contaminate your home, your office or your car. Wash them separately from your family's clothing.
Have a regular medical checkup and request that you be checked for lead levels.
Switch to ammunition that contains lead-free primers -- this is widely available from most makers in many popular calibers. |

| I recently revealed one of the most overlooked and suppressed health secrets in the world (at the Ninth International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Santa Fe, New Mexico) at a gathering of international scientists and natural healthcare practitioners as well as medical doctors.
Tragically, this information has been withheld from the general public and has not been included as a part of standard medical training. After years of research, I have finally pieced everything together and I am confident this information is the key to preventing disease and healing the body naturally. |
| Each point connects to an internal organ and is further classified as a Yin (female) or Yang
(male) meridian. Most practitioners utilize a sort of standardized meridian system known as the Twelve Primary Pathways comprised of the bladder, gallbladder, heart, kidney, large intestine, liver, lungs, pericardium, San jiao (or abdominal cavity), small intestine, spleen, and the stomach.

 The medical profession has been alerted to this new age by the New England Journal of Medicine in a 1993 article reporting that in 1990 more
Americans consulted alternative practitioners than all U.S. primary care physicians, 425 million visits versus 388 million. The social demographic group who consulted these alternative practitioners were non-black, ranging in age from 25 to 49 years, with relatively more education and higher incomes. They consulted them for chronic conditions. Of this group, 12% sought megavitamin therapy - 51 million visits were devoted to megavita-min therapy. |

 Still, the profound link between viruses and autoimmune disease has not yet trickled down to the majority of medical practitioners. Few doctors know to address the potential role that a recent viral attack may play in developing autoimmunity when they are struggling to diagnose a patient who may have autoimmune disease.
It may also help to think of our growing understanding of the association between common viruses and autoimmune disease in the context of what is happening today in medical research in general. |
| The fact that so many front-line practitioners are ill trained in how to diagnose these diseases can result in patients facing costly delays—both physically and emotionally—in getting the help they need. As Dr. Ahmet Hoke, associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and a colleague of Petri's who treats numerous patients with autoimmune neurological disorders, explains, "Most of the autoimmune patients we see here have already been to several doctors and often they've been struggling for diagnoses for years. |
| However slowly, practitioners at the front lines of diagnosing these diseases are formulating clearer guidelines about what to look for in patients, and researchers are better able to develop lab tests for biomarkers that provide telltale clues as to what combination of potential triggers to autoimmune disease might already make up each patient's barrel.
As this understanding emerges, researchers are likewise better able to test for certain biological markers in the immune system that may signal trouble long before disease strikes—as well as work toward novel interventions. |
| Turmeric, a key ingredient in curry, has been used for centuries by practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine to treat inflammatory disorders, and turmeric extract containing curcumin (not to be confused with cumin, a spice commonly associated with Moroccan cooking) is available in most health-food stores as a dietary supplement for the treatment and prevention of rheumatoid arthritis. NIH researchers found that curcumin completely inhibited the onset of rheumatoid arthritis in animals by working to keep inflammatory proteins from being released and preventing destruction in the joints. |
| Almost every one of Jan's physicians failed to see that she was suffering from an autoimmune condition because, like most day-to-day practitioners, they remain uninformed about how to recognize patients who are suffering from these diseases in the first place. Because Jan's disease was autoimmune in nature, they missed the call.
THE COLD, HARD NUMBERS
Most of us, at some juncture in our lives, have played out in our minds how devastating it would be to have our doctor hand down a cancer diagnosis or to warn us that we are at risk for a heart attack or stroke. |

| Many chiropractors or natural healthcare practitioners can perform this test for you, either through hair, blood, or urine analysis.
• Use FIR therapy. Far Infrared Therapy (FIR), also known as heat therapy, dissolves toxins in the blood so you can sweat them out. Remember, the skin is the largest detoxification organ. If you can afford a Far Infrared Sauna (up to $3000.00), I highly recommend them. FIR helps the body re move heavy metals, aids digestion, and relieves stress. I recommend the brand TheraSauna™. |

 Those practitioners produced gamma waves that were thirty times as strong as the students'. In 2004, Ricard was a coauthor on a paper reporting these and related fabulous-seeming findings that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.93
Even before this work was published, Davidson had presented preliminary data that had created considerable buzz. Indeed, this work inspired a 2003 New York Times article that asked the telling question "Is Buddhism Good for your Health?" What did monks have to teach the rest of us, the article asked, about optimal functioning? |
| Cannon delivered these remarks as part of a lecture to colleagues in 1936, in which he urged medical practitioners to wake up to the fact that they were living in a new world of illness experience. Patients today were largely suffering not from old-style "plagues and pestilences" but from the "strains and stresses" of modern life; and orthodox medicine was largely failing to take the resulting disorders seriously. |
| Christian Science practitioners today dialogue freely with the medical profession and are happy to acknowledge a common interest in mind-body interactions, but ultimately insist their own understandings take them beyond anything that secular medicine would ever countenance. They emphasize that these understandings are not just rooted in blind faith, but grounded in repeated personal experience. It is in this sense above all, they say, that Christian Science should be seen as a science, a form of Christianity that aims to demonstrate its truths through empirical demonstration. |
| It was not supposed that practitioners healed others directly; their job was to help their patients overcome the illusions that cause them to suffer and, through prayer and dialogue, enable them to experience their true natures, not as material creatures but as ideas of divine Mind.
Christian Science reached its peak of influence as a church in the 1930s, when its membership was estimated at close to 250,000.22 During these years, its public image was of a rather secretive organization that allegedly encouraged parents to deny their children essential medical care. |
| Instead, its practitioners and advocates defiantly took their case directly to the people. These were the years that saw the rise of itinerant stage magnetizers, men who traveled from city to city (often accompanied by trained subjects) giving performances that blurred distinctions between public demonstration and public entertainment. Even as this was going on, however, the experience of mesmerism itself—what people felt and did under the alleged influence of animal magnetism—began to change. |

| Most holistic or complementary health practitioners favor a low-carb (or low-glycemic) diet for anyone who has blood sugar or insulin problems. That means high-quality protein, good fats, such as olive oil, coconut oil, some butter, avocado, flaxseed oil, fish oil, and nuts, and some low-sugar fruits, such as grapefruit and berries. Get the sugar out of your diet and reduce calories, something that will be a lot easier to do on a higher-protein, lower-carbohydrate diet. |

| One of these exchanges brought practitioners of the traditional healing methods to the United States (they went first to San Francisco), and another involved American medical students going to China to learn about its medical system. In 1979 the first beneficiary of this second exchange program, a recent medical graduate named David Eisenberg, became the first American exchange student to study in China since 1949. |

 Walker Percy commented that since the empire went dark, the British, once the global elite, have been the world's best practitioners in only three areas: spying, the writing of mysteries and detective novels, and acting. All of these trades share a duplicity with, and a remove from, the surfaces of reality. Once the limits of the physical world were explored, and then lost, there was no place for British talent to go but inward.
The problem in America is that the Frontier is now closed. Writing in 1893, Frederick Jackson Turner had already pronounced it so. |

 Promote the proliferation and success of naturopathic health practitioners and companies who care about health, the planet and our collective future.
Avoid being trapped by oncologists or other specialists in a system of harmful medical treatments that primarily turn you into a lifelong patient requiring ongoing treatment rather than making you well enough that you no longer need their services or products.
In all, declaring your freedom from America's failed health care system is the single most important thing you can do for your health. |
| Under naturopathic medicine, you can cure yourself of virtually any disease, including cancer, but only if you embrace the simple truth that no external medicines, substances or practitioners can do the curing for you. Taking responsibility for your health means empowering yourself with the state of belief necessary to initiate spontaneous healing, and the body already knows how to spontaneously heal itself of even scary-sounding diseases like cancer, by the way. All you have to do is give your body the right nutrients, environment, movement, removal of toxins and avoidance of toxins. |

 We need a nationwide restraining order against practitioners of modern psychiatry!
I believe it is time we abolished the industry of psychiatry and its disastrous "treatment" of children with dangerous, mind-altering chemicals. If we continue to allow these profit-minded psych doctors to drug an entire generation with amphetamines, the long-term consequences to society will no doubt be devastating. Children do not need mind-altering drugs to demonstrate normal, balanced behavior. |

Trying to prop up a chemical that will soon be illegal
The days of aspartame's dominance as a sweetener are nearly over. Sucralose is far more popular today (even though it has its own health concerns), and recently, Coca-Cola teamed up with Cargill in an effort to legalize stevia in the United States as a GRAS sweetener (meaning they could use it in foods). |

 Not only do they aggressively market disease-promoting beverages containing high-fructose corn syrup (linked to diabetes) and phosphoric acid (linked to osteoporosis), but they also use another chemical substance in their diet drinks that many naturopathic practitioners consider to be a neurological poison: Aspartame!
Knowing the true history of Coca-Cola and Pepsi (click here to read the unauthorized history of Coca-Cola), it's no surprise that these two companies would find a way to dishonestly market bottled water products, too. |
