Self-Healing Journey

Welcome to my site.  I am a chiropractic physician and nutrition consultant in St. Louis and the surronding areas. I offer comprehensive nutrition and healthy lifestyle consultations. E-mail me by going to the contact info page.

These are some of my experiences: I received a Master's Degree in Nutrition Science from the University of Hawaii in 1984. Worked as a food and nutrition researcher at the University of Hawaii.                                                                                    Graduate, Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2003 with the highest honor (summa cum laude).                                             Post-graduate training in Cranial adjustment (Logan College), Internal Health Speicialist  (Loomis Institute), BioMeridian Analysis, Applied Kinesiology (AK), Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT), Neural Emotional Technique (NET), Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Body Restoration Technique (BRT).

l will discuss the importance of keeping the physical body healthy first.; however, that is not to say that this is the most important aspect of health.  Health is the composite of all three of these factors—physical structure, emotion and nutrition.  They provide the foundation whereupon our enjoyment of life is built..  We know the importance of keeping our bodies strong and healthy by exercising, but we should not ignore that the way we think and the food we eat will contribute to the physical structures of our bodies.  There are many forms of self-healing exercises that we can perform on ourselves to increase energy and promote healing of the physical body.

Neuroscientist Candice Pert discovered that we produce chemicals in response to emotions.  In her book, Molecules of Emotion, she shares her findings that our bodies produce these chemicals to mediate our feelings.  Chinese medicine also asserts that emotion drives the vital energy which in turn affects the balance of health.  We can’t ignore the harmful impact of negative emotion on our physical bodies.  When we seek to maintain an optimistic outlook on life and a positive attitude, it  will do our body more good than eating the best organic  foods or supplements.  I believe that the best doctor we can have is ourselves.  What is most important for us to control is our own mind and emotions.  You can change your life by changing your mind.

We are what we eat..  That is not exactly correct..  We are also what we digest and absorb.  There are more and more people with digestive system malfunction due to the regular fare of a junk food diet..  Nutrition encompasses what we eat, digest, absorb, inhale, drink and eliminate.  All the stuff that we somehow get into our bodies will have either good or bad effects on our health.  Hippocrates said that we should let food be our medicine and let our medicine be our food.  How many of us take the Father of Medicine’s advice seriously?  In order to improve our nutrition, and thus our health, we need to learn what good nutrition is and how to avoid the foods that can compromise our health.  In this disinformation age, this task may not be as easy as we think.  But with some effort, it can become common sense; which is actually quite uncommon these days.
