The Body
The Power of Addiction ~ A Ted Talk
Nutrition with Don Tolman
Self Care is the simple understanding of the power and intelligence of the human body to energize, restore and heal itself by embracing principles of life and health. It was an ageless wisdom harnessed by many ancient cultures that allowed them to live long, disease-free lives.
I firmly believe that mother nature contains everything we need in the form of wholefoods, sunlight, water and the surrounding environment to ensure our health, healing and longevity.
Despite the overwhelming propaganda and promotion that dominates the airwaves to the contrary – all funded by the pharmaceutical industry – true health does NOT come in any type of bottle or from any expensive breakthrough miracle treatments or surgeries. If that were true, diseases like diabetes and cancer would not be escalating.

Inflammation
Inflammation is a “hot” topic in medicine.
It appears connected to almost every known chronic disease—from heart disease to cancer, diabetes to obesity, autism to dementia, and even depression.
Other inflammatory diseases such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune disease are increasing at dramatic rates. As physicians we are trained to shut off inflammation with aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil or Motrin, steroids, and increasingly more powerful immune suppressing medication with serious side effects.
Chakras
Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side.
