Guest: Nathalie Thandiwe Book: The Yummi Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious, Affordable Food without Meat, Dairy, Wheat or Soy #38; Nut Free I think during my third year of medical school I realized I could not be a mainstream doctor.nbsp; I watched the treatment that people received in the hospital and not that it was bad but as a student we were required to take a history and physical from many patients on the wards.nbsp; I realized that the pharmaceutical prescriptions being given by well meaning doctors were not really going to address the problems that people had.nbsp; When I looked into psychiatry and spent my summer after my first year in medical school at a community health center I became alarmed at the drugs being prescribed.nbsp; I voiced this to the head psychiatrist at this clinic in New Haven who told me that I was a fool for not wanting to get on the drug bandwagon.nbsp; I donrsquo;t remember what my reaction was at the time but I guess you could say that I was more disturbed by what I saw happening in the clinic than his comments to me.nbsp; I was a vegan during my medical school years and many years after.nbsp; And of course through that filter all of my patients appeared to be suffering from the effects of meat eating and the toxic chemicals that were added to the food. I was a vegan for about 22 years.nbsp;nbsp; Along the way I realized some things about my own diet that were problematic for both myself and my family.nbsp; My motivation to maintain this dietary approach had been sustained because most of what I was seeing in the hospital and private practice had to with bodies being destroyed by what was going in the mouth and indeed what was not coming out.nbsp;nbsp; When I expanded this model to include spirit, mind, and mechanism I began to feel like I was on the right track although I had to go outside of modern medicine for diagnostic techniques and therapeutics.nbsp; While I was learning other healing arts the food industry was changing even more.nbsp; I began to lose my motivation for a vegan diet which truth be told was largely soy based.nbsp; I also had watched the American public shift to a largely carbohydrate based diet with an emphasis on low fat.nbsp; With this I have witnessed the devastating consequences with respect to the increasing incidence of obesity and diabetes.nbsp; I have witnessed a charade being carried on about cholesterol and became aware of the food and pharmaceutical industryrsquo;s role in coopting the medical profession to push an agenda that has more to do with profits and their products than the health of the American public.nbsp; I have witnessed a major transfer of wealth in this country with the American public left holding the bag and in dealing with my own finances finding that for a short period of time I a health professional could not afford health insurance. For years I left the dietary aspect to the able hands of other people in my practice because the information was like shifting sands.nbsp; While doctors are really the last source of information to be relied on for nutrition most other people involved in this industry seemed to be pushing products.nbsp; And then in 2005 I met my wife and partner who was attending a film lecture I was giving at the Open Center.nbsp; As we began to hang out I would compare what I was eating to what she was eating and realizednbsp; that even though she would eat meat her diet was much better than mine with respect to nutrient density and unwanted calories.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; I know she was challenged to prepare food for me and my kids because of how vegetarian orientation.nbsp; Actually my teenagers were already flexing their free choice genes and were eating things that were not served at home.nbsp; As for myselfnbsp; I am not a beast person.nbsp; Inbsp; have watched how fish have raised the level ofnbsp; mercury in my system and the bodies of many of my patients.nbsp; My wife has also reminded me that older people on anim...

Dr Kokayi has the opportunity to interview two doctors who have just returned from Haiti earlier in the morning after being part of relief efforts for over the last seven days.nbsp; Dr Henry Paul a nephrologist is Hatian born and Dr William Lois a surgeon is Cuban born.nbsp; Both have practices here in the NY area and Dr Paul is president of the NY chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Haitians (noahny.org). Both share their impressions about the devastation taking place there and the field hospital that they were a part of establishing.nbsp; Both doctors along with Dr Kokayi's long time friend Dr Jonel Daphnus, also a guest for this program, are preparing to return to Haiti next week.nbsp;nbsp; All three doctors are looking to a future in which massive efforts will be needed to bring some level of restoration to a land where people are living under sheets tied to four poles with a rainy season just a couple of months away.nbsp;nbsp; There account is emotionally provoking an informative.nbsp; Callers also shared comments and questions. Well the first of two earthquakes in Haiti was just over two weeks ago (Irsquo;m including the earthquake that was greater than 6.0 on the Richter scale that occurred several days later as the second quakehellip;too strong for an after shock) hellip;.so we have witnessed the outpouring of supportnbsp; to the Haitian people as well as comments from some of Americarsquo;s more ignorant from suggestions that this was Godrsquo;s wrath to we should not give these people anymore AID because poverty still exists so they re not capable of being helped to the fact that given the proximity of the ocean they should just go fishing for food.nbsp; But by and large Americans and corporations of all ilks are stepping up.nbsp; Verizon wireless customers have donated 7.82 million which stand stands atop the list of contributors that I have to 100,000 from the Shell Oil company.nbsp; Most of these donations have gone to organizations like the American red cross,nbsp; doctors without borders, Save the children, and Partners in Health. But you can also check out some local organization in the New Yorkarea.nbsp; I have posted two suggested by one of our guests ..the Haitian Woman For Haitian Refugees and MUDHA (Movement of Dominican Haitian Womenhellip;you can find more information at Globalmedicinereview.com.nbsp; Countries the world over have been sending aid and rescue teams to Haiti.nbsp; We would like to think that at these times humanity shows its best face.nbsp; In a moment we will here from two American doctors in the Haitian community who just returned from Haitiafter being there this past week. I want to first turn to the question of the Price of AIDhellip;the Price of Assistance from the West.nbsp;nbsp; There has been an ongoing effort on the part of organizations like the Jubilee Debt Relief campaignnbsp; to have Haitirsquo;s external debt forgiven.nbsp; Lets not forget that following Haitirsquo;s independence in 1804 Francepopped up with warships in 1825 demanding that Haitirepay them for the loss slave of their slave colony to the tune of 21 billion dollars.nbsp; Haitiwas paying this debt into the 1900s.nbsp; Keep in mind that under French slavery the average Haitian lifespan was 21 years. And of course there was Papa Doc and Baby Doc, the Duvalier regime from about 1964 to 1984 accounting for 30 to 40% percent of Haitirsquo;s present debt, according to what sources you read. And lastly the two USbacked coups to remove the democraticly elected government.nbsp; But at least now with the USand other monetary funds movingnbsp; closer to dealing with a total forgiveness posture for this debt, something very similar to nearly total forgiveness package like the Martial plan, that Americans created right after World War 11 for Western European nations, this is certainly a cause for some optimism.nbsp; Of course thenbsp; USand IMFnbsp; offered to give Haitianothernbsp; loan ...

Today we have the interesting task of trying to create a picture of a four dimensional realitynbsp; that you can appreciate on these airways.nbsp; I have an able guesthellip;a professor of some thirty years but let me set the stage. The question we have to ask ourselves in 2010 is whether our problems on a global level have outpaced our ability to solve them.nbsp; Western culture the dominant culture on the planet has taken the world in a direction that brings into question whether this wave of humanity can survive to 2100. While many of us are inspired by ancient an indigenous cultures the larger mainstream seems to be moving in a headlong course that guarantees an acceleration of cataclysmic event that will further destabilize human life. The machine canrsquo;t slow itself down whether its global warming ornbsp; need to maintain global dominance.nbsp; No sooner that do we create one solution perhaps in the form of an alliance with a political regime or inventions that are the hallmark of western civilization like the atomic age do we create a series of problems of increasing complexitynbsp; that will have to be confronted down the road.nbsp; You donrsquo;t have to be too old to see the similarities between Viet nam and AFghanastan..nbsp; The same is true for our own development. Any one who has spent time with themselves or undergone psychotherapy will be a witness to how certain situations will repeat themselves over and over in our lives until we have gained mastery. So while humanity struggles to evolve and not repeat itselfnbsp; from the individual to larger societal aggregatesnbsp; many of us can sense that something is profoundly wrong with the trajectory that the world is headed in.nbsp; But we struggle because we donrsquo;t have a conceptual modelnbsp; that will allow us to grasp what is happening and at the same time point the way for action.nbsp;nbsp; In the West we donrsquo;t have and no longer believe in oracular systems as a way to understand the will of the unseen hand that shapes things.nbsp; Moreover as I pointed out last week our individual everyday work is not linkednbsp; metaphorically or technically to larger universal principles or realities which if further isolating and stunting to the imagination.nbsp;nbsp; For the most part we are educated tonbsp; perform in our little boxes, doctor, teacher , engineer etc.nbsp;nbsp; When we try to step outside of our box we may be rewarded, punished,nbsp; exalted, or depressed or perhaps even all of these at once or in different times. I want to share something that our guest wrote about his field of endeavor and I want you to see if it also resonates with what you have found to be true in your own work The current educational system, divided into exclusive specialized disciplines emphasizes analytic rather than synergistic thinking The current educational systems tends to emphasize indoctrination rather than nurturing the development of problem solving skills Effective comprehensive solutions require a combination of skills and expertise beyond the scope ofnbsp; any single discipline Professional disciplines tend to focus their efforts within narrow boundaries ignoring the broader ramifications of their field of expertise Research and development is primarily controlled by major corporations with a vested interest in maintaining or expanding their market share while finding new applications for existing technology Our environmental actions have consequences that are global in nature Now I could have written these vary statements as a description of the field of medicine.nbsp;nbsp; But this was actually written by my guest an architect.nbsp; Thatrsquo;s right.nbsp; And Irsquo;m sure that you see how it can apply to your work. Last week I tried to share with you a direction that I have taken as a physician trying to link up with an be in sink with the larger field of healing which supercedes any particular mechanistic system.n...

I wanted to take some time at the beginning of this year to share some of my own thoughts about medicine, healing, and health care.nbsp; Outside of my radio intros I have not put anything in print since last Januaryrsquo;s letter to Obama. The easy part of this commentary is the health care piece.nbsp; Health care for working people is abominable, this being the case for overwhelming majority of the American population whether you can afford it or not. And many times you really donrsquo;t realize this until you are sick and have to interface with the health care system on any consistent basis.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;If your problem fits neatly into modern medicinersquo;s conceptualization of what is going on with you then you may get thru the system unscathed and even recover your health.nbsp; But this is not the rule.nbsp; Being medicated is not the same as being healed.nbsp; Your options become really limited unless you spend disposable income.nbsp; Yet your premiums are going up. Beyond the administrative and financial headaches the realnbsp; question is what is the intention of your practitioner and the health care system as a whole and how is your problem being conceptualized. Are you someone to be fit into a protocol or is something being designed for you during that five to ten minutes that you are with your doctor.nbsp; In modern medicine you are working in a closed solution set dictated by the pharmaceutical and insurance industrieshellip;.not by science. Much of what goes on in medical practice is by way of convention and not the hard science that is constantly being referenced. Your doctor may not have any training in nutrition or any other modality other than making a pathology diagnosis and prescribing drugs.nbsp; Who would want to be in this situation? But the obstacles to receiving real quality health care with a emphasis on healing are systemichellip;and as I wrote in my letter to Obama last Januarynbsp; we are caught in the grip of an insurance pharmaceutical monstrosity that will suck us and this country dry.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;More money is taken for less service and dependency on medication is a goal.nbsp; In the meantime cancer rolls are growing with almost one out of every other male and one out of every three woman developing cancer in their lifetime. The pharmaceutical companies and their investors are having a field day in this growth industry.nbsp; And beyond diet who is going to take on industry and the chemicals that have flooded our environment and are part of our modern lifestyle.nbsp; In some instances the companies that provide the chemotherapy also make the chemicals that poison us.nbsp; We have practically become the ldquo;harvestrdquo; depicted in the Matrix.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Add to this an epidemic of obesity which is associated with many other diseases, from cardiovascular disease, to cancer and diabeteshellip;and just plain early mortality.nbsp; And yet the medical community has been manipulated by industry to create a mythology around cholesterol and low fat foods. Like the earthrsquo;s atmosphere our protective shields, our immune systems have been weakened.nbsp; Itrsquo;s the enemy within whether we are speaking about the chemicals that break down the ozone layer or the trans fats, sugars, and toxic chemicals that break down the lining of our blood vessels an organs.nbsp; We are at the heart of our problems.nbsp; We have glorified a way of life that is destroying the planet and our lives and most importantly future generations.nbsp; We even inject our own children with toxic substances , increasing rates of autism,nbsp; with doctors in denial about the role vaccinations are playing in this.nbsp; We have replaced thimerosal with aluminumn as we sacrifice many of our new born at the alter of corporate profits and priorities. This is the backdrop for the delivery of health care in AMERICA in 2010. Health care canrsquo;t be based on pathology or diseasehellip;it impossible to fund such...

Guest: Dr Lewis Mehl Madrona Greetingshellip;well itrsquo;s the third day of the winter solstice,nbsp; two days Before Christmas, three days beforenbsp; Kwanza and four days since Hanukkah ended.nbsp;nbsp; Regardless of your religious persuasion or lack thereof something shifts at this time of year.nbsp; Many people develop physical and emotional complaints as the holiday season unfolds and expectations and connections are not made or perhaps old wounds are reopened.nbsp; If this wasnrsquo;t enough we get to head into the fullness of winternbsp; for at least another three months after the holidays. A key measure of health is your adaptability.nbsp; For instance cell phones are here to stay.nbsp; Most of us will adapt to this electromagnetic interferencenbsp; but some will not be able to handle this kind of energy and will have their lives seriously affected.nbsp;nbsp; The same was true with television, radio and computers.nbsp; But moving away from things how about this time of year.nbsp; Itrsquo;s a little different from the spring when the body has to deal with nature rising and all the living things that can trigger allergies.nbsp; During the Holiday time its more the emotional and spiritual side of ourselves that is challenged.nbsp; The endless holiday songs dredge up both pleasant and unpleasant memories.nbsp;nbsp; We think about what we were doing on previous holidays. Who is in our lives now and who is no longer with us.nbsp; And there is probably no greater reminder in secular life of the passage of time than the second we move from one year to the next.nbsp; Another year added to our lives. Are we living the life that we want to live? What are some ofnbsp; the ingredients that go into our maintaining our homeostasis, of our maintaining our adaptability.nbsp; Is it more important for us to give into the communal urge to relax our discipline in our diets and get with the holiday cheer or do we need to maintain our disciplines and perhaps use this time to go more within. Is our focus spiritual, material, friends and family oriented or a mix that we design or is designed for us.nbsp; These are questions that you might want to give some conscious thought to.nbsp; How do you want to experience this time of year? Today we want to use the opportunity that this time of year givesnbsp; to reflect on dimensions of life that are important to us but that maybe we take for granted or have not consciously looked at. Irsquo;m speaking about friendship and community building.nbsp; These are important aspect of our lives and can form the basis ofnbsp; interconnected circles that enrich our lives and those we come across. Joining us today will be a Western trained psychiatrist and family practitioner who happens to be Native American and a practitioner ofnbsp; Native American Healing arts.nbsp; hellip;Dr Lewis Mehl Madrona Health Kamau Kokayi no No http://globalmedicinereview.com/2009/12/16/gmr-dec-16-2009/ http://globalmedicinereview.com/2009/12/16/gmr-dec-16-2009/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:55:58 +0000 admin http://globalmedicinereview.com/?p=297 http://globalmedicinereview.com/2009/12/16/gmr-dec-16-2009/feed/ 0 60:32 Guest: Alex Stark Well its Holiday time or Holy Day time whichever one you ascribe to.nbsp;nbsp; On the one hand we are being urged more than ... Guest: Alex Stark Well its Holiday time or Holy Day time whichever one you ascribe to.nbsp;nbsp; On the one hand we are being urged more than ever to buy an shop, with shopping made easy over the internet, but on the other handnbsp; from the standpoint of cultures present and ancient,nbsp; from around the planet, rooted in the reality of the earth being a living and dynamic entity, there is not a better time to pray and meditate.nbsp; Its ironic that the culture that has demonstrated the capacity to dissect our world down to a subatomic particle can not create a system that allows humans to play their part in an interconnected, multidimensionalnbsp; world. The truth is there are all kinds of intelligences that we can be endowed with and moreover they have a hierarchy.nbsp; Needless to say that hierarchy is not in effect at present, so we live in a world that creates realities that are self destructive for humans and inhabitants of the planet.nbsp; Lets go into this a little deeper.nbsp; Modern medicine is rooted in classical physics.nbsp; The heroes of the beginnings ofnbsp; modern medicine, men like Harvey, Boyle, Laplace, Lavoisier, were all scientists that dissected their known universe in such a fashion that their findings could benbsp; transposed to the human body with the resultant mechanistic way that we deal with health and disease.nbsp; But this is the old physics and the new physics beginning with Maxwell and Faraday in the late 1800rsquo;s going right up to quantum field theory and its applications is something that mainstream medicine is only beginning to explore.nbsp; The truth is that other peoples and traditions on this planet,nbsp; because of their own cultural realities, developed systems of healing that were expositions of these non mechanical ways of looking at the universe, nature, and the human body. For instance we have the meridians of Chinese Medicine,nbsp; documented to benbsp; a representation of the electromagnetic grid that constitutes our body.nbsp; And then we have what have been called shamanic practices, whether in South America or Africa, Practices that bend time and space to the will of consciousness; practices that give testimony to the more recent exposition of physics as the West gets caught up to at least theoretically what ancient cultures had known and lived. The question that we can ask ourselves is why hasnrsquo;t medicine in the West adoptednbsp; and developed technologies thatnbsp; reflectnbsp; more updated versions of physics and how the universe really works.nbsp;nbsp; The truth is in three parts one: it has but we call it alternative medicinehellip;from electrodermal screening that can tell you what is imbalanced in your body down to the tissue level through assessing the energy at different electromagnetically active points of the body to applied kinesiology and various energetic therapies that interface with consciousness and our emotions in a non chemical fashion, two:nbsp; Profiteering and monopoly in corporate medicine makenbsp; it necessary for the corporate world to discourage and actually blocknbsp; new directions in treatment and care that could revolutionize medicine but adversely impact the monopoly and profits associated with it. Billions of dollars, pensions funds, institutions and the US economy itself are tied up in medicine and pharmaceutical practicenbsp; as it exists presently.nbsp; Take the cancer industry.nbsp; Whatrsquo;s really new about survival rates once you remove the statistical manipulation and deal with cold hard numbers.nbsp; Virtually nothing.nbsp; Yet we have ascribed to a system of diagnosis and treatment that has failed, but is essential to the maintenance of the status quo.nbsp; One out of 2.5 people alive will develop cancer.nbsp; Sounds like a growth industry to me yet its surrounded by the strictest covenants as to who gets to participate in the care of cancer patients.nbsp;nbsp; The attempts to discredit and prosecute cancer t...

Guest: Ken Campbell Well folks I have no words of wisdom concerning misgivings day tomorrow. A day called thanksgiving that clearly means different things to different cultural groups. One thing is for sure, those of us who are caught in the endless shuffle of being wage earners must use this time off to not only relax and enjoy the company of family and loved ones but to strategize about how to not only ensure survival but to prosper in the years ahead. America is truly in its winter season with no end in sight. We can not depend on government and corporate interests to do what is best for everyday Americans. They are becoming one in the same,hellip;not just in the FDA or organizations that we have looked at because of their role in health care but indeed across the board for all the regulatory structures that are suppose to keep this democracy fair and just. So today I want to give you something to chew on over the holiday. I want to share something that I think is the future of medicine if the world were to take a more humane direction. Now on a regular basis you have heard me speak to how important it is that in every family there should be someone who becomes skilled in the healing arts. But costs, and prerequisites have become increasingly prohibitive with debt and a limited skill set waiting at the end of most professional trainings. But what if I told you that there was a program that offered an international degree that existed, with efforts being made to get this degree accepted here in this country and even if were not, the skills you would develop would project you into such a unique category of healers that you would become a resource for yourself, your community and those that came into contact with you. What if I told you that there existed a program that approached healing in such a way that it was multi dimensional and multicultural and capable of organic growth, with an educational curriculum that was so scientifically sound that its faculty is capable of giving CEU for educators and various health professionals here in New York. I want to truly turn this holiday at home into an opportunity for many of you out there to come into a system of healing that I have decided to dedicate two programs tohellip;both this week and next week. I have not done this before in my seven years plus here on the radio. Outside of my efforts to inspire interest in the cultural healing technologies from around the world I can think of no other effort that has been as important to me as letting you know about this healing system that is available for you to learn and study. After spending many years studying many different kinesiologic systems including NAET, NMT, TBM and NMT I am satisfied that I have found the best and most comprehensive expression of this system of mind body health maintenance, restoration, and optimization. The professional practice of applied kinesiology is so misunderstood by professionals and public alike, yet it has given rise to so many creations likes Touch for Health and Educational Kinesiology and all the clinical systems that constitute the alphabet soup I mentioned earlier. This misunderstanding will be addressed. In thinking about my own medical practice I realized that I have used techniques of applied kinesiology since my Brooklyn days in the early nineties. What was always missing was a comprehensive system and understanding that tied everything together. I could not really share it with my colleagues outside of the chiropractors that I studied with because while it worked in my office I did not have the best explanation of the science. Well this has changed and I find myself in a class with other health professionals and students in their twenties. We have all been amazed at what we have seen and experienced in class.

Dr Kokayi interviews Bud Weiss on a tried and proven method for treating asthma and other physiologic problems that result from the effects of shallow breathing and low tissue levels of carbon dioxide. This method, the Buteyko method, was developed by the Russian physician, Konstanin Buteyko in 1952. The Buteyko method has garnered some attention of late because Jane Brody, the NY Times health writer, shared a positive article on it as a result of a friend of hers with severe asthma for over forty years, achieving a markedly improved state just from his mastery of the Buteyko breathing method.nbsp; Once the principle of the Buteyko method is appreciated it becomes apparent that this method would also be very useful in treating hypertensives and people with allergies.

Dr Kokayi interviews Sally Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A Price Foundation. Excerpts from Ms Fallon's DVD the Oiling of America are played, highlighting the manner in which the vegetable oil industry has hijacked the mainstream medical intelligencia into manipulating data concerning the danger of animal fats and cholesterol to human health. The interview and DVD look at the history of the American diet since the turn of the century, going back to a time when animal fat was in just about everything yet there were was virtually no cardiovascular disease. The food supply was altered with the introduction of cheap polyunsaturated vegetable oils and the American diet was changed forever, coincident with the rise of cardiovascular disease. The documentation concerning cholesterol's non role in the generation of heart disease is reviewed and much of it is an analysis of same data that was generated in the major lipid studies. The role of the vegetable oil industry in manipulating the AHA and AMA and FDA and the public is documented as well as its role in suppressing decenting research.

Guest: Walter Blick Today we want to speak about one of the poles of the four pole model that I generally donrsquo;t touch on enough. For new listeners these four poles are spiritual/consciousness, emotional, biochemical, and biomechanical. Anything that you can think of diagnostically or therapeutically is going to fall into one of these four poles. Today we are going to speak about the biomechanical pole of this model. This includes everything from surgery and physical therapy, to chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation, to cranio sacral therapy and massage, and much more. In general the public is unaware of the wide variety of structural techniques and practices and their application to a variety of problems. Massage therapy is generally considered to be on the lowest wrung of biomechanical therapies. Moving flesh can be quite taxing and America has more flesh to move. But as I have always said the defining aspect of health is relationship. There is more to the flesh than meets the eye. The bodyrsquo;s connective tissues and muscles play a pivotal role in the bodyrsquo;s electromagnetic field. Even the role of fascia, the connective tissue that envelopes muscle, has been shown to be profoundly affected by both mechanical and non mechanical stresses ie emotions and traumatic experiences. How many of us have had emotional releases as we have had tight areas of body tissue released. And while many of us can tune into the rhythm of our heart and breathing are we aware that the body has many different cyclic rhythms that characterize its function. This has not gone unnoticed among people who have had conscious contact with the body for the purpose of healing and detecting imbalances. Take the case of John Upledger the osteopathic physician and founder of his own system of cranial sacral therapy. He was assisting in an operation on the spine one day and noticed that the spinal chord had it own unique pulsation which he later recognized as the cranial sacral rhythm caused by the movement of cerebral spinal fluid around the brain and spinal chord. This rhythm is totally separate from the circulatory and respiratory rhythm and can be perceived directly by the trained hand touching any part of the body. Anything disrupting the flow of CSF can be detected in this manner and the source of the disruption can be discerned as well. I have seen Dr Upledger come up with a diagnostic assessment after putting his hands on someonersquo;s body for less than five seconds. But we do the same thing when we drive a car. The car becomes a direct extension of our bodies. We are aware of our bumpers and routinely can park and maneuver through the most narrowest of spaces with split second adjustments in our steering and speed. Through the hands of a craniosacral therapist the sense of touch is highly developed. So for those of you who like to work with your hands I think yoursquo;ll be inspired from hearing our guest speak about any number of therapies where healing hands are needed. This is more the sense of a fine artist as opposed to the mechanical skill and dexterity employed by a surgeon or the coordinated hand eye movement of a carpenter. The rhythms of the body spring from the myriad number of highways that course through our bodies: nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, and connective tissue superhighways. While many of us associate chiropractic care with high speed adjustments and the popping sound that goes with this in cranial sacral therapy and other energetic systems of body work there is very little perceptible movement on the part of the practitioner but the release experienced by the client is palpable. There are other forms of this kind of hands on biomechanical work that relates to releasing the fascia and around muscles ..or myofascial release therapy. A lot of physiologic energy is bound up in different holding patterns that our body will contort into and having these released can be...

While government and the pharmaceuticals are pushing for vaccination science and the epidemiology of the behavior of the swine flu suggest that for this time of year it is one of the mildest flu seasons relative to deaths and hospitalizations.

Today we are going to hear from the founder of the American Botanical Council, Mark Blumenthal so that we can get a better understanding of the botanical world and the world of plant medicines from the perspective of an organization that provides educational opportunities and helps to disseminate information about botanicals, appreciating them in their cultural/geographic environment as well as their medicinal qualities. All of these are of course related. Plant medicines are all around us but in large measure we ignore and under appreciate them. There is a saying to the effect that a weed is a medicinal plant whose value has not been discovered. Even our kitchen cooking herbs and spices are underutilized with respect to their medicinal qualities. Yet we all complain about the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals and many of us are not motivated enough to do some herbal 101 work. On the other hand health professions have to be high on the list of people looking for a second career with a willingness to go back to get another degree or some recognized license. Why not herbal medicine. Unlike much of what goes on with pharmaceutical medicines plant medicines do heal and would be particularly useful for chronic health concerns. Too often would be health care aspirants are disappointed when they experience the level of business that is involved in delivering health care. Insurance companies and pharmaceuticals have gotten in the way of our health care. But isnrsquo;t the only real role for an insurance company to make sure that your medical services are covered. They really have no other value and now they are getting in the way of their prime directivehellip;of helping people take care of themselves. They should have no life other than making patient care a reality. They donrsquo;t need to be profitable. And then there is Big Pharma. Pharmaceuticals depend on the plant world to source medicines and ideas for medicines. But in many ways our dependence on them has taken us away from naturersquo;s healing laboratory . To really appreciate plants its useful to check them out in their natural habitat as opposed to the capsule in the bottle that you purchase from the health food store or a journal article. Natural habitat includes the understanding that uses of botanical are cultural applications, technologieshellip;any medical system is a cultural application. Who are the people that came up with the application? What are their circumstance? The botanical also exists in a unique physical environment and it use can vary from one geographic location to another. Indeed the stories and lore around plants can be very informative with respect to their uses. Yoursquo;ll find the same species of plant used differently by different cultures. Different parts used, different preparations. Wouldnrsquo;t it be better to have the cultural systems of the world share their wisdom and knowledge in the context of appreciation and reciprocity than the kind of rape that is taking place at this time. The profit incentive has no place in the medical field hellip;.friendly competition with respect to healing people with the reward of recognition..like a martial arts master if you will, with the further reward of teaching other practitioners how you did it. But then we would have to live in an entirely different society and those who are profiting now would scream how un American this is. Thatrsquo;s alright hellip;this is to be expected. It goes hand in hand with this kind of corporate disease an infestation that is plaguing our society. And while we canrsquo;t ignore the rules of engagement with respect to how things presently operate we can as a first step imagine something different for ourselves, our children and the future of this planet. Science ultimately means to know and the way cultures around the planet have come to appreciate their relationship to botanicals ranges from the mos...
