Philosophy

My observations over the last 20 years lead me to conclude that the most powerful healing resources are those within us, and external aids whether they be medications, supplements or procedures work best when they are used to augment our self-healing resourses, rather than replace them.

One of the problems with our health-care system is that we are constantly bombarded with advertisements that suggest that every one of us has or is about to get some serious disorder that needs an expensive medication. "Ask your doctor about ..." If we believed these ads we would come to the conclusion that our bodies are incredibly fragile and we survive only because of all the medications and supplements we shovel into them.

This is nonsense. Our bodies are tough, very tough. Our species survived the Ice Age with nothing but pointed sticks and fire. Every day your body is healing itself and fighting off infections, most of the time without you even noticing.

That is why I focus on teaching people how to improve their self-healing abilitites. Yes, our self-healing abilities have limits, that is why I augment them by prescribing medications. But in my 20 years of experience the patients who practiced self-healing techniques have done signficantly better than those who did not.

Fortunately, most self-healing skills are easy to learn, and simple to practice.For me the art of medicine consists of helping each patient discover how to make self-healing a part of their life, while using medications when necessary to augment those internal healing processes.
