It has been said in many places that the more you understand the nature of a health problem, the faster you can work out the best way to get well. This "KNOWLEDGE" encourages you to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your own health and well-being and you are better able to find solutions to prevent problems in the future. In spite of what you may hear from many health-care providers,

YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING - YOUR ILLNESSES OR YOUR LACK OF ILLNESSESS (WELLNESS)

. These thoughts are characteristic of the Natural approach to healing, wholeness, health if you like. Thus we offer the following modalities that we ourselves have used to keep us and our family out of the doctors' offices except for emergency or general check-ups -

CHIROPRACTIC

Spinal Anatomy

Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, nerve roots, and all the nerves of your body. See Systems for another explanation of your COMPLETE nervous system.
Your brain is protected by the skull; your spinal cord is protected by 24 movable bones in the spinal column.
Pairs of nerve roots EXIT the spine from between the interlocking bones or vertebrae. When these bones move from the NORMAL position and range of motion, they interfere with the electrical energy that flows down the spinal cord to the nerve roots sometimes causing PAIN or ILL-HEALTH of the organs, glands and/or tissue to which the energy is flowing.
The primary objective of CHIROPRACTIC CARE is to eliminate and prevent these interferences to your electrical system.
See our more extensive explanation of how Chiropractic works.

COLONICS or COLEMAS

***Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, we will reserve any pictures for the link page***

Dr. Bernard Jensen, the 'father' of North American Iridology and a well-known herbalist, chiropractor, etc, has said

'LIFE AND DEATH BEGIN IN THE COLON'

. He found many, many years ago that if his patients refrained from consuming DAIRY and WHEAT products in particular, many of them "GOT BETTER" on their own i.e. their bodies 'HEALED THEMSELVES'. Ultimately all HEALING is built into OUR human body's system at the cell level by our Creator. Taking away foods that irritate the system, allows the body's systems to return to homeostasis (Normal!) If DAIRY and WHEAT irritate the DIGESTIVE system, the whole body is made ill.

Take away the cause of the irritation, and the body CAN BE restored back to health

The 'COLONIC' approach to healing as I understand it and have experienced it, is that by IRRIGATING the colon with gravity-flow clean water and massaging the colon from the outside, we can help to 'clean out' areas on the inside of this unique system. See Intestinal for a more complete discussion of the duties of the Intestinal system. Just as we WASH the outside of our bodies for cleanliness, so

we can WASH THE INSIDE of our bodies to keep our INSIDES clean!

HOMEOPATHY

The fundamental law upon which homeopathy is based is the law of similars, or "like cures like". According to this law, a substance given in large, crude doses will produce specific sysmptoms, (e.g. When a body is exposed to HIV, it will produce symptoms compatible with AIDS!!)but
when the same substance is given in a highly diluted form, it can stimulate the body's defense mechanism to remove those same symptoms
When my little dog had two swollen, (ruptured) discs in his back, we gave him mega potency ARNICA MONTANA 200C in the homeopathic form. If we had used this same strength in an EXTRACT, it would have done extreme damage. However, in about 2 and 1/2 weeks, the swelling was brought down to normal, and he was able to use his hind legs again.
Similarily a senior man of my acquaintance, was diagnosed with a ruptured disc. He also used the ARNICA MONTANA 200C and was able to ride his tractor the next week!!
Often, children folks with impaired mental faculties can be cared for more easily, when homeopathics are used. They may be in the form of small 'sugar-tasting' pellets or in distilled water-base liquids that are absorbed throught the mucous membranes of the mouth. We have the Hobon Homeopathics available through our offices. These remedies are made on the theory that if all strengths are contained in the remedy, e.g. 9c, 30c, 100c and 200c, that the body will use the strength that it needs for the problem that is there.
I cannot explain how this works. I only know it 'does'!!

REFLEXOLOGY
As has been noted on the Reflexology webpage, there are reflexes to be found on the feet and hands plus several other places in our bodies. Please refer to FEET

ACUPUNCTURE

I have always found ACUPUNCTURE hard to understand. I don't have an oriental mind! but there are many nationalities now using this form of assessment procedure. Here's a short quote from the book "What Your Doctor Won't Tell You" by Jane Heimlich.
"According to traditional Chinese medicine, a LIFE FORCE or ENERGY called chi controls the workings of the body. This energy is present in every living creature and circulates along specific pathways in the body, called MERIDIANS. (These meridians are also the basis for the Reflexology modality.) In a healthy person, chi flows freely along these pathways, but when the flow of chi is blocked FOR ANY REASON, pain and disease result. By inserting acupuncture needles into the body to stimulate appropriate points along the meridians, the blocked energy is released and HEALTH IS RESTORED.
Modern technology has advanced this method away from the actual needles, to using a "PROBE" attached to a computer or some electrical source, that can not only affect the meridians, it can tell what is blocking the meridians and appropriate procedures can be used to 'unblock' the energy flow.
Occasionally I will send my clients for acupuncture if basic supplements and herbals do not seem to be addressing the problems found by other natural assessment methods.
Personally I have had several 'needle' treatments, many years ago particularily for circulation. I can say that I seldom have cold feet and hands any more. However I have found that regular exercise e.g. fast, steady walking - also assists this problem. E-mail us here

MASSAGE THERAPY
People of all ages have an inherent appreciation for the value of touch. As babies, we are 'caressed', 'patted', 'rubbed'. Later in life we instinctively rub sore muscles to soothe aches and pains. We know to use massage for relief and comfort.

EAR CANDLING


Another title for this page could be

NATURAL EAR CARE

Often when we cannot see something on our bodies, we tend to forget their care, like the back of the neck or between our toes. So often people pay little attention to the health of their ears until they begin to LOSE THEIR HEARING. Then it may be too late to do much especially if part of the inner ear is damaged.
Just as we mentioned on our introductory page that NATURAL things need special care, this is more than true of the inside of our ears. Not only can they be invaded from without by pollution, both physical and auditory (Noise), but from the inside by bacteria, viruses and parasites that live in the ear tissues, the Eustachian tube and the Sinuses, all places close to the ear that can affect the health of the ear.

NATUROPATHY

Naturopathic doctors are health care professionals who treat the whole individual. That is physical, mental and emotional health as well as genetic predispositions and social and environmental influences. ND's stress self-responsibility and preventative health. Naturopathic doctors use a variety of modern assessment techniques and suggest a very large variety of remedies, homeopathic and herbal, as well as using many CLEANSING of the BODY AND BUILDING of the BODY with their patients. They often use all the above modalities and more. Consequently in Ontario, the government has found it difficult to try to REGULATE them, since they cover such a large scope of health care.
See NATUROPATHY for further comments and brief outlining of some of their unique procedures.
