Physicians make recommendations. As doctors, they teach people about the causes of their conditions, and what can be done to bring things back to normal, or to an optimal, healthy state. Many times throughout the day doctors find they are repeating themselves (actually that’s the origin of this book) and recommending the same things. As an example, people on the Standard American Diet get little fresh foods, mostly processed foods, and have lots of stress. While many recommendations can be made – diet, exercise, lifestyle, meditation – most people are looking for the quick fix, so the average doctor may recommend Vitamin C. Knowing most people are already over acidic, the doctor may even recommend a somewhat alkaline form known as Ester-C rather than ascorbic acid, or better yet a food source from amla berries or camu-camu. Since this is sometimes challenging to find, the doctor may decide to have this available in the office, among other things that are highly recommended. Is the doctor “pushing” these things to make a profit? Admittedly it helps to a certain extent with the bottom line, yet these things are offered as a service, a convenience.
When things come to the doctor’s attention that can be greatly beneficial, it is a duty, a responsibility, to share them. I have made many recommendations throughout this book – web sites, 800#s, many books, and other helpful information. 95% are gratis; these recommendations offer me no compensation.
There are two recommendations that offer great potential for financial remuneration both for me, as well as for you. Many times people feel overloaded with recommendations – alternative therapies, such as chakra balancing, colonics, counseling, electromagnetics, facials, hypnotherapy, massages, seaweed wraps, spas, vacations, etc. – and they throw up their hands, “How can I afford all that?!” Actually this is all part of holistic health, and being able to afford all of this is part of holistic healing. In the past we have defined holistic as “pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the individual.” In the 21st century we have evolved to the point where we have moved from the 1st chakra (balance in our survival and grounding), through the 2nd (balance with our emotions), and 3rd (balance with our personal power) and are now at the 4th chakra, the heart center, where we really find two centers in one – personal love and universal love. So the term holistic includes social balance as well, how we relate to each other in our personal relationship, our family, our community, our society, and our planet. And the medium of “energy exchange” that we have for all these aspects of our being – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and social – is money. So true holistic well-being must also include financial health.
