Chronic Medical Conditions

We are all fascinated by the astonishing developments in contemporary (Western) medicine, with its incredible diagnostic tools and the ability to save lives during life-threatening emergencies, or put us back together after severe accidents. But as it became more efficient, under the pressures of insurance companies and legal threats, Western medicine began to lose its personal touch with patients. The main goal of treatment has become the suppression of acute symptoms with the help of multiple medications. The mind-body connection, the body’s own intelligence and ability to be healed, came to be disregarded. As people are living longer, chronic medical conditions have emerged for which contemporary medicine’s answers have been more tests and more symptom and pain controlling medications, which often cause more problems than the original disease.

Fortunately, more doctors – disappointed with the results of their work and the functions of medical establishments – become interested in holistic aspects of medicine. Complimentary specialties such as Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture are becoming more accepted and available in the US, complimenting Western medicine and offering alternatives for consumers.

People are becoming disappointed in the ability of Western medicine to treat chronic medical conditions and are drawn to explore alternatives, to help themselves and those they love.

Let us name just a few causes for the emergence of chronic medical conditions in the US:

  • Western medicine has become more efficient in treating acute conditions; more people survive who would have died earlier.
  • People are living longer.
  • The environment has become significantly more polluted, creating chronic toxicity in our bodies, particularly with heavy metals such as mercury.
  • Multiple foods and food supplements are contaminated with chemicals.
  • Chronic stress and multiple other factors.

Ways to resolve chronic medical conditions:

  • Work on restoring the body’s natural ways of healing.
  • Remove toxins that prevent the body from functioning to its full capacity, particularly heavy metal toxicity (done through heavy metal detoxification).
  • Help control symptoms and balance by using herbs and supplements.
  • Resolve chronic pain through the use of honeybee venom therapy, acupuncture, guided imagery and other methods.
  • Resolve psychological and spiritual obstacles to healing (done through the use of Systemic Family Constellation, Applied Psycho-Neuro-Biology, guided imagery, biofeedback and other methods).
  • Restore the body’s energetic balance through acupuncture and homeopathy.
  • Restore emotional balance through use of meditation and chi gong.
