I am finally up and "blogging." Over the next few months expect to hear a lot from me. The area of natural and holistic medicine is full of information that can benefit large numbers of people, and I believe -- make the world a better place. All of us can improve our lives and learn from what nature has to teach us.
Information about health, wellness, medicine and science is filled with politics and economic interests. There are misconceptions, myths and underlying motives throughout the web and other forms of media. Confusion is like static and makes it difficult to hear with clarity.
Over the past few years I have often found news stories, books, films and other media that have inspired me, taught me and enriched my life in a multitude of ways. I have also been exposed to ideas and opinions that have made my skin crawl. My hope is to use this forum and address these ideas - both good and bad.
The origin of the word "doctor" is docere meaning teacher. It is one of the guiding principles of naturopathic medicine. I love to share knowledge with others and the internet is a powerful medium for connecting. Through this blog I will express my views based on my experiences, sharing the knowledge I have gained from both my formal education and my life in general. Outside of the classroom, my family/friends, mentors, nature itself and my patients have all been great teachers. I will try to give those gifts I have received to you.
If you find fragments of value, gather them up and share them with your friends and family, apply them to your life, and together we can all continue to grow, develop and progress.
