Boston Osteopathic Health

Boston Osteopathic Health As a traditional osteopathic practice we strive to restore health by combining conventional medicine We practice minimally invasive medicine.

As a traditional osteopathic practice led by William Foley, DO; we strive to restore health rather than fight disease. Our mission is to continue the work of Andrew Taylor Still, MD, the father of osteopathy, who stated that physicians should devote themselves to caring for a person’s Health. This uncovered a truth that has provided a guiding principle for the osteopathic profession. First we use

treatments that are as natural as possible and have the lowest risk for side effects while saving medications and surgery as a last resort. For all our patients we provide nutrition and exercise advice as well as perform osteopathic manipulation. If needed, we will add supplements, herbs, medications, injections, or whatever else necessary to help our patients get better. We will also refer to both conventional (neurology, orthopedics, etc.) and alternative (acupuncture, homeopathy, etc.) medicine specialists when appropriate. Our physicians utilize the full range of Osteopathic modalities, with an emphasis on Cranial Osteopathy and Biodynamics. Our practice welcomes patients of all ages and provides osteopathic care for the full spectrum of their healthcare concerns. We have two locations:

134 Rumford Avenue, Suite 208
Newton, MA 02466

or

92 E Main St. Westborough, MA 01581

Is organic food worth it? This study studied people who were not eating organic food, and measured glyphosate and its byproduct in the urine. Samples were collected while the participants ate their usual diet, then after they ate an organic diet. Levels of glyphosate in the urine dropped dramatically after only a few days.

The conclusion: “This research adds to a growing body of literature indicating that an organic diet may reduce exposure to a range of pesticides in children and adults.”

An organic diet was associated with significantly reduced urinary levels of glyphosate and AMPA. The reduction in glyphosate and AMPA levels was rapid, dropping to baseline within three days. This study demonstrates that diet is a primary source of glyphosate exposure and that shifting to an organic...

"In all periods, and in all cultures, men and women have lived at the margins of their “world,” and have chosen to push back the frontiers of the commonplace and break through into the mysterious. These individuals have asked themselves fundamental questions, the same ones that still occupy our minds. Where does Humanity come from? What is the reason for our existence? In what direction, and towards what goal, are we heading? Those who have asked themselves these questions have had what may be called a “mystical awakening.” Such questioning has often been experienced, but is only rarely spoken of, for fear of being judged, misunderstood, or even ill-treated; but on occasion it has managed to make real sense for those I shall call “free souls,” among them Rosicrucians, now, just as in the past."
