Years ago a Naturopath (Certified and graduated from an Accredited school) set up a clinic in the Snake River Valley. He had started to make a tonic that he gave his patients for various ailments. The farmers in the area had been convinced to grow some of the components for his tonic. A couple of farmers knew me and knew me well and asked that I go and research him and his lab to find out if he was legitimate. I went to the Naturopath's place of business and he gladly showed me his clinic. He explained his clinic and what he did and then showed me his lab. As soon as I walked on to the floor, I recognized his method of manufacturing. He was explaining his tonic as a distillation and I corrected him and said, "this is a decoction, not a distillation " He was a little alarmed and showed me the door.
A little while later, months actually, I got a call from a family member whose loved one had cancer. This member was on Chemo and had gone to seek an alternative treatment from the afore mentioned Naturopath. The woman on the phone said that the Naturopath had told them to take the patient off all his meds and that when he returned from his 2 week vacation, he would see him in his office. She then said that after 2 days, the patient had gotten very ill but the Naturopath was not around or available to consult. I asked for a list of medications that the patient had been removed from. I became alarmed and had the woman call the ambulance but we were to late and the patient died a few days later in the hospital.
The Naturopath served prison time for fraud but not for the life of that patient.
So, the issue is that there are many "healers" out there that can do some good but you have to have the education in Traditional medicine AND Alternative and Integrative medicine in order to keep people safe.
When giving vitamins and minerals..the person gets to much and they get sick. When putting them on a diet not knowing what the restrictions are, they get sick just like giving them prescription medications without doing follow up testing to know how they are metabolizing those medications.

You get one body, be careful who you allow to treat it.

The news story this morning about Bob Harper, Trainer of The Biggest Loser, having a massive heart attack while working out prompted a conversation about exercise. First of all, Bob Harper was pre-disposed to Heart Disease. His mother died from a heart attack as well, probably one of the reasons why Bob got into the industry. I had a friend whose whole family inherited a gene for heart disease. He watched his father die from a heart attack when his dad was 42 and he was 7. He used to tell me how horrid it was to watch and that he had decided very young NOT to die that way. He was active, his whole family is. They eat a balanced diet. My friend had started a movement around this time of year for his friends and family, "Move your Kiester before it's Easter". He was out riding his bike with his boys when his heart attack struck . He died on the side of the road with his young boys by his side.

My point is that yes, genetics may play a huge role in your death, but to prolong life and have a quality of life is the point.

I do not have heart disease in either side of my family. As a matter of fact, if we can stave off Diabetes, which is caused by diet, we live well into our 90's and 100's.

For the majority of us, Diet, portion control, exercise and sleep play an enormous role in not only how long we live but how long we enjoy living.

Stress is also a trigger for heart disease and raises the occurrence of Stroke and Heart Attack. Bob Harper not only was pre-disposed but also had triggers in his life such as a grueling schedule for TV and his personal life.

Life is unpredictable...enjoy life, do the things that will prevent disease and live like each day is your last.

Life is to short to be miserable...call us today and set up an appointment so we can help you make the most of it!
