Welcome to the Natural Health & Organic Living Blog
As a child, I was mostly raised on junk food, milk, soda and everything else a northern family cooks. My mom was from Madison, Wisconsin (cheese head) and my dad was from Syracuse, New York. He had his PhD in Chemistry, was a top level chemist for Exxon, and was the co-developer of PVC and the developer of Saran Wrap. He also worked closely with former President Reagan on top secret projects. My mom was a housewife and took care of me and my younger brother. Growing up, we always had fun. I was always outside and involved in sports, especially soccer which one year I was awarded the Most Valuable Player in the state of Texas. I was blessed to have a brother 1 year younger than I, to play with and keep me company. During my childhood I always remember having a close connection with animals and I actually wanted to be a veterinarian at one point. We had a very loving family and I have no regrets about the way I grew up.
My brother and I spent most of our education in private Christian schools that used to paddle us if we did or said something wrong until we entered the public high school system. I was always so bored with school, I always felt they were teaching me things I did not need to know, and the things I thought should be taught were no where to be found (or being suppressed from public knowledge).
As I grew older I started experiencing frequent visions. These visions always had something to do with how to construct something (like a blueprint) that would be beneficial for the healing of a specific disease or for mankind in general. This was something I had a hard time understanding as a child. Later in life, I was able to understand what my purpose was and that the visions I receive are for the greater good of mankind and to help heal the Earth. I just consider myself blessed to be able to receive these blessings and share the love and healing technologies I have learned with the world.
After high school I joined the army. In the army I spent my free time pursuing my internal goals of understanding who I was and what my purpose in life was. I was in the military for three years and received 2 army achievement metals, a good conduct medal, and an overseas ribbon. I was then honorably discharged. While I was in Korea during the last part of my military obligation, I was accepted by one of the top Korean Tai Kwon Do Masters to join his class. This was considered a great honor in Korea to be a student of this master. You had to commit to 4 hours of training everyday, 7 days a week for a year. Practicing martial arts under this master taught me discipline, focus, meditation and healing techniques, the movement of energies and the connection between all living things.
After I left the Army, I really wanted to be in the medical field one way or another. My Aunts (dad's side) were medically trained and Deans of the school of nursing at Syracuse University and also my mom's sister was a nurse. I have always had such high respect for nurses; they seem to be the ones that do the best work in the allopathic medical system. I started taking health related and pre-med classes in college trying to find something I resonated with. I ended up taking these classes at different colleges for over 10 years.
My goal was to save peoples lives somehow and I had not yet realized in what capacity this would take place. Then one glorious day while I was driving down the road, I felt this powerful energy coming over me. It seemed as if the inside of my car filled with a bright, calming, vibrating light. I was overwhelmed by a feeling of pure bliss and even though I was driving, it felt like I was in a time warp or something. I do not even remember driving at that point, I just started to cry (it was a joyous cry) and my hands lifted off of the steering wheel and turned around so the palms of my hands were facing my eyes and I heard a soft voice say "heal with your hands". Wow, I thought, this is the answer I have been searching and asking for! Then, the light faded and my hands were back on the steering wheel. That experience felt so good I immediately started looking for a profession that used hands for healing. This is how I became a chiropractor. Just before I finished Chiropractic school I met an alternative medicine doctor who was interested in treating cancer and degenerative disease using natural methods. I must say, I was still a little brainwashed at this point because I was taught during my childhood and even during school that the only way to treat cancer or degenerative disease was with pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Like most doctors in the medical system, I thought natural medicine practitioners were quacks or snake oil salesman. I was led to believe this by the "professors in school" who were supposed to be teaching the TRUTH.
I thought to myself who is this quack that wants to address cancer with natural medicine. He told me that remedies for every ailment were already available if I knew where to look and that I needed to think outside the box and be open to the possibility that most of the things I have been taught to believe as truth may actually be false information.
He challenged me to prove to him that pharmaceutical drugs actually do more than just address the indications of disease and that they actually tackle the root cause of the concern. I said OK you're on! I will prove to you that science is right and everything I have been taught is correct and that the only real medicine is prescription medication and of course Chiropractic care. Well I drove to the library as I already had a background in chemistry and biochemistry and spent the next 6 hours finding out he was right and I had been lied to, deceived and led in the opposite direction. These drugs did nothing but suppress a function in the body or cover up a symptom. What was I supposed to do now? I decided to go back to the "Quack" and apologize and tell him he was right and ask him what he was doing.
From that moment on I devoted my life to actually healing patients by addressing the root cause of their concern by using natural substances that have been used for thousands of years. I studied natural healing extensively and received my Naturopathic Doctorate, Clinical Herbalist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Diplomat of the American Clinical board of Nutrition and Clinical Nutritionist certifications. Then, I became the person being called a quack! I did not care though; I was passionate and knew from the bottom of my heart that this was the right thing to do.
I opened Global Healing in 1998 to share my knowledge with the world. I have set my goals on educating the public and doctors before they get too entrenched in their belief systems. My motivation is the general public, to help people live a healthy life and avoid drugs or surgery in chronic degenerative diseases. We do have the best medical system in the world for acute emergency situations. It is only in the management of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, cancer etc., where the medical system has radically failed. I truly believe my purpose on this planet is to clean our environment and assist in the rise of consciousness so we can all live in a future filled with light, love, health and happiness. The philosophy I follow is full body cleansing, pure clean organic food, water, air, exercise and nutritional supplementation. This never fails!!
I wish you love, light, health, and happiness,
Dr. Group, DC
