Holistic Health Care: Health Without Drugs
I have been a holistic physician for over 36 years. I always wanted to be a doctor, I was fascinated as a young child with how the body works and I wanted to be of service to our community, helping people to feel better. Growing up I had allergies and I always wondered why I had this condition while others around me did not. Medical doctors could not give me a satisfactory answer and told me just to keep taking my antihistamine and someday I might grow out of it. My friends brother was enrolled in chiropractic college and one day I was at my friends house when I was feeling bad and he was there. He told me that maybe a spinal misalignment was causing my condition. I did not know anything about what he was talking about but....I liked the thought process, the cause. That was what I was seeking! I explored the chiropractic approach and enrolled in Life Chiropractic College in Marietta , GA. There I was turned on to Applied Kinesiology (AK) and the work of Dr. George Goodheart. Using the AK method I found I could help more people determine why they have pain or functional distress. Upon graduating in 1981, I returned to Michigan and became a student of Dr. Goodheart for many years until his passing. My passion for learning and helping people and doing good work continued to grow with Dr. Goodheart as my mentor as it still does through this day. My greatest joy is the honor of being a doctor, providing the best work that I can and watching my patients get well and stay well without drugs or surgery.
