Discovering your Healing Pathway
to Health and Vitality

These are the steps that we have observed thousands of patients use over the last 30 years to regain their health and overcome a chronic illness. Think of this as a road map. How you travel and where you go is up to you. The steps are simple but not necessarily easy. They help support you and keep you on your individual healing path. Getting well usually involves getting out of your comfort zone. It is your path - designed by you with help from others. Many doctors have observed that discovering your path and how to walk it is the most important step in healing yourself. Inside each one of us exists our pathway to healing — your intuition or gut feeling is the doorway.

"Heal"comes from the Latin word "to make whole."

Whether you are a beginner or well versed in using alternative care with conventional care we invite you to look over these steps: As with all healing practices keep in touch with your primary care doctor and specialists to keep them alerted and informed of your alternative therapies including treatments, food choices, supplements, herbs, vitamins etc.

FIRST STEP Healing is a journey not a destination. You can actively affect your health by changing what you are now doing. Remember it is up to you to discover what works for you. Your physicians and healers are there to assist and guide you.

SECOND Take time to learn the over view of available, responsible and successful alternative medicine resources. We can provide you with an overview of the latest research showing what works and what looks promising to treat your particular condition. ( link to reports)

THIRD Educate yourself about how your body mind spirit functions and how it heals. Learn what your role is in your healing, what to be aware of. Read books and articles specifically designed to help you understand how healing occurs and to empower you to heal yourself.

FOURTH Just like making a stew, let this information simmer in your mind and see what treatments attract you or makes sense to you. Learn to follow your instincts. You don¹t have to jump on the first treatment — this is when you start to listen to your inner voice, your intuition — your gut feeling.

FIFTH Learn from the success stories of other survivors and thrivers who have learned to heal. They have much to teach you, so that you don¹t have to reinvent the wheel. You may not choose to do any thing that they do, but they can still teach you how they decided to choose what was best for themselves.

SIXTH Time to act! Now you have several choices to do something for yourself — Just for the Health of It. You can approach this from several perspectives, based on your needs, beliefs and gut feeling. The key is learning to trust yourself. Start to follow what attracts you. Therapies, supplements, herbs, counseling, movement, prayer, these and more choices await you.

SEVENTH Choose a qualified and credentialed alternative medicine practitioner through our free referral service and links to credentialed alternative medicine practitioner associations.

EIGHTH Choose supplements, herbs, vitamins minerals to support and cleanse your body — these are potent natural substances that you should respect and treat like a drug. Always consult with your doctor BEFORE using them — they may interfere with your current medicine or therapies. If you are afraid or uncomfortable to speak with your doctor about them — find another doctor who will listen to you.

NINTH Start making lifestyle adjustments. Some of these will help you fell better in a matter of days: more sleep, more water, long walks, meditation, breathing, different food choices.

TENTH Connect with your spirit and renew your relationship with your creator. Keep asking the question to all aspects of your life including people, food, work, and thoughts: Does this support and heal me or not? Invite support and walk away from elements that are toxic to you.

Then go a little deeper and ask:

• What purpose does this disease have?
• What lessons can I learn to better myself?
• How can I get closer to my GOD?

Then be in the silence and let that calm clear soft voice talk to you. It will give yourself permission. Right now. The point of power is in the present. It is in this moment. Use it now. It is the only place in time where we exist.

A journey of a thousand miles begins
with one small step.
