I know a secret about Alternative Medicine Practitioners, Nutritionists, Weight
Loss Counselors and other Holistic Doctors that YOU should know - but first, a question...

Why Haven’t YOU Been Told That Alternative Medicine Practitioners - Such As Naturopaths, Nutritionists,
Weight Loss Counselors And Other Holistic
Doctors - CAN TREAT YOU For
Primary Care Health Problems?

A more important question to ask you may be; why so many smart and believable people in the health care industry feel strongly that Alternative Medicine Practitioners, Weight Loss Counselors, Nutritionists and other Holistic Doctors, are fast becoming America’s new Family Doctors?

Could it be that a lot of people - maybe people like YOU - are beginning to look hard and long at what Alternative Medicine Practitioners can do to take away their aches and pains and take care of other health issues that so many traditional Doctors seem uninterested in treating anymore?

I’m sure you know there’s a large and growing number of people determined to be healthy and well at whatever cost... and for good reason!

“Good health isn’t everything but without it everything else is nothing!”

Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, PhD - World renowned health expert

As a nation, our attitudes about health care reform are changing. Whenever the opportunity arises, well-meaning, forward thinking people – like you and me - discuss the possibilities and implications of Alternative Medicine as an acceptable health care services delivery model.

But we’ve only wedged a foot inside the door. We haven’t yet stepped completely into the large and imposing room of widespread PUBLIC OPINION.

I predict that soon you and I will see a time when we’ll pack that room with determined and dedicated supporters and Practitioners of Alternative Medicine.

America will be compelled, out of need and conscience, to allow us the opportunity to openly discuss and demonstrate the need for Alternative Medicine therapeutics in mainstream American medicine.

And when our case is honestly heard and the overwhelming evidence presented, without a doubt, you and I, and our loved ones, will see the beginning of a truly wonderful, Golden Age of Medicine and health care services delivery.

Alternative medicine may be the answer America is looking for NOW!

Not long ago, I was speaking by telephone with a patient who’s become a good friend - Jane from Atlanta, Georgia. Jane came to me, in December of 2005, as a Diabetic, with symptoms of edemic swelling, chronic enervation, high blood pressure, excess retention of fatty tissue, failing eyesight, insomnia and periodic constipation.

Jane spent most of 2006 reversing her troubling condition and rejuvenating her entire body on one of my biological treatment programs. Jane asked me if one in ten people knew enough about Alternative Medicine Practitioners to know what their REAL value is to a patient.

I thought for a few seconds about her question, but, before I could answer, Jane interrupted my train of thought with a surprising statement...

"The biggest benefit you get from seeing a Nature Cure Doctor is the peace of mind that no matter what symptoms you may have or what physical or mental condition you’re in, you’ll never feel alone in his care. He’ll always be there encouraging you to not give up hope... and to give your body a fighting chance to regain your health.

That’s the thing I noticed most when I started working with your Alternative Medicine approach to regaining my health. Even though you live a million miles away, you always took time to work with me until my body started to respond, my condition improved dramatically and now I no longer have Diabetes.”

Jane Braxton - Atlanta, Georgia

I thought about that and... Jane was right. Shockingly, not one in ten Americans knows enough about the training of the average Nutritionist, Acupuncturist or other Alternative Medicine Practitioner, to make any intelligent decisions about the quality of care to be expected from the Practitioner.

And this is in spite of the fact that MILLIONS of satisfied Americans are successfully seen and managed by Alternative Medicine Practitioners every year... and the number is growing with every passing day.

Incredibly, this embarrassing situation is even more pronounced among traditionally trained Medical Doctors. Not one Medical Doctor in a hundred has any idea of how valuable an asset an Alternative Medicine Practitioner could be as a Provider of Primary and often Secondary medical services within a Physician referral network.

Most traditional Doctors don’t know because they consider Alternative Medicine Practitioners to practice quack medicine ‘outside of the discipline.’ Interestingly enough, this is the same sentiment shared by most Alternative Medicine Practitioners about Medical Doctors!

Is it any wonder that so many of us consider Health Care to be one of the most entertaining, if not emotional, of all human issues touching our lives?

Has this recently happened to you?

Imagine how painful this issue can get for YOU when you wake up one morning with a sharp pain in your gut and immediately call your local Doctor’s office. When the Receptionist answers, you cut her off as you begin describing your agonizing symptoms.

You ask if you can see the Doctor that morning. As you writhe in agony, the Receptionist matter-of-factly tells you the Doctor can’t see you that day. Angered and doubled over with abdominal pain, you demand to know why. She tells you he’s stopped seeing many of his old patients and is not taking on any new patients.

Confused, insulted, but determined, you ask who the heck you can see today to get help and relief for your painful condition.

To add salt to your wound, the Receptionist says she doesn’t know of ANY OTHER DOCTOR in town who’s willing to see any new patients.

Is that real enough for you... painful enough to get your serious attention and get your mind reeling in a mad dash to find any kind of relief for your painful condition - traditional or...non-traditional?


What I just described to you may or may not have happened to you recently. But I know for a fact that similar, unbelievable scenarios happen to thousands of Americans every year. And these shameful situations continue to happen, every day, to people who’ve been taught to think the only real health care Practitioners are traditional Medical Doctors.

If our Medical Doctors and other traditional Practitioners are such reliable and infallible guardians of America’s health care delivery system, then:

  • Why are Primary Care Family Doctors and other Primary Care Providers so hard to find when you really need them?
     
  • If our traditional Primary Care Practitioners are not willing to see you for Primary Care health issues, why won’t they refer you as a patient to Alternative Medicine Practitioners and other Holistic Doctors who ARE often qualified and willing to see you?

Because of the prominence and influence of the traditional medical health field in the mindset of most Americans, these are two tough and unusually sensitive questions to answer.

But this I promise you... by the time you read every word of what I have to say at this website, you’ll definitely have the mind boggling answers to these and other important questions.

I’m a guy you SHOULD listen to!

You may feel I’m being unjustly biased in my opinions. Where do I get off making these claims?

I’ll tell you where...

I’m Paul Harris – an Alternative Medicine Practitioner and health author.

When I'm not researching and writing about serious health issues that concern you, I see patients.

I’ve been seeing Primary Care patients, and referring those I couldn’t see to other Alternative Medicine Practitioners, for over 20 years. I devoted 11 of those years to studying Nature Cure methodology with former Nobel Peace Prize candidate and world renowned health lecturer, author and Practitioner, Doctor Bernard Jensen DC, ND, PhD.

I also spent 21 years as a paid Consultant to traditionally trained Physicians and major hospital systems and medical groups in the US. Part of my job was to assess the clinical competency of Primary Care Physicians and to find appropriate practices for them within certain health care systems.

During the years 2003 through 2005 I served as the CEO of a start-up, 501-C3 Primary Care medical group - Southwest Primary Care Center. Our mission was to offer Primary Care and Alternative Medicine health services to anyone who needed our help.

Since 2005 I’ve been formulating and developing this website and a comprehensive game plan that can help transform America’s health care picture from the sorry mess it’s in today to a functional, effective and compassionate health care delivery system with enough internal and external checks and balances to ensure it’s usefulness and relevance through the twenty-first century.

In the system I’m working on, you can be seen by an Alternative or traditional health care Practitioner who’s level of training and skill would be appropriate for your needs.

In a nutshell, my goal is to ensure that on those rare but necessary occasions, when you need to be seen for health care services, you will be seen quickly by a trained Practitioner of an appropriate discipline.”

FYI: Another important part of my mission is teaching Preventive Health measures to anyone interested in taking back control of their health. Along those lines, I’ve designed and developed a number of simple, easy to understand and follow health-related programs you can do at home... and I help you every step of the way. Take a look!  Click Here Now

I’m on a mission to give you back control of your health and perhaps your LIFE!

Your good health and well-being are important to me. Why? Because before birth... before the worlds were created... before the stars began to shine, you and I and the rest of humanity... we were all consecrated to one another.

We each took a sacred, unbreakable oath. It was a promise to love... to help... and to protect one another with all of our being. Some of us have forgotten that oath. I have not!

Simply put, in every sense of the word... you and I are ONE!. What that implies – to my mind – is that I must do everything in my power to bring ease, comfort, and happiness to your life. Every thought, every feeling I have about you, every action I take on your behalf, must, in some way, support that basic understanding... that primeval reality.

The literature at this website - including articles, special reports, books or what have you - are all designed to help you better navigate the rough waters of your life... particularly as concerns your health.

Fasting For Permanent
Weight Loss

Are you serious about wanting to drop excess body weight responsibly and intelligently, but having a hard time doing it with all of the confusing weight loss plans circulating the internet and appearing on late night television infomercials?

If so, perhaps you should try another way to achieve your goals that could bring you long lasting results, a greater sense of satisfaction and peace of mind...FASTING!

When a short, therapeutic fast - often called a liquid diet - or even a comprehensive transitional elimination diet, is combined with a follow-up dietary regimen of whole foods that are high in organic Chlorine, high quality proteins, low starch carbohydrates, proper exercise, regulated breathing, sunshine, proper rest and a mindset that will not accept poor health as an option, you can reach a level of health and wellness that can sustain you for a lifetime.

The following short but informative chapter from my book, "Therapeutic Fasting For Superior Health And Happiness" should be of interest to you:
 

   "Fasting is the safest and most reliable method for naturally regulating body weight. It is the one, certain way to lose unwanted and unnecessary pounds and to keep them off, provided that the fast and follow up period of rejuvenation, maintenance and normalization, are carried out intelligently and to the letter.  

During a prolonged fast the body will consume or expel excess water, fatty tissue, toxic cellular waste, inorganic chemicals and minerals, precipitated organic compounds, drug residue, colloidal bodily material, mucous and physical atoms drained of their vitality.

During the first few days of a prolonged fast, the average faster will begin to notice significant daily weight loss – often totaling two to five pounds daily. This is due to the expulsion of all, loose fecal matter from the bowel and from the stomach and small intestines being completely emptied of food material during the initial forty-eight to seventy-two hours. 

For the next four or five days immediately following this period the body can drop anywhere from one to three pounds daily. This is usually the result of the soft-tissue, bodily cells beginning to ‘burn’ or expel any excess water, fat or other material deemed useless for use in the immediate economy of efficient organic and systemic function. 

As this takes place each soft-tissue cell, except for brain, nerve and heart tissue, will lose a great percentage of its bulk. The one component of each cell that is immune from this slimming down process is the cell nucleus. Each cell’s nucleus will retain its original size during the entirety of the fast. 

Part of the material the cells discard or burn is utilized as fuel for the body while the fast is underway. Although your mouth, stomach and small intestines do not require daily sustenance from an external source, every cell of your body, particularly the brain, nervous organization and heart muscle, must be fed constantly.

In the body’s wisdom it will take material from other less vital sections of the body to feed the heart, brain and nervous system, to ensure continuity of organic life. What this means is that the body will rob Peter to pay Paul to enable the ‘seat of consciousness’ to remain intact, healthy and thriving. This entire scenario takes place through the blood and lymphatic streams.

As the weight loss and materials shifting process are occurring, the body will begin to clean unwanted material out of each cell and prepare it for rejuvenation. The process of cellular rejuvenation involves combining oxygen arriving through the blood stream, with electromagnetic energy that is generated within the nucleus of each cell.  

This is a normal, everyday procedure, but during a fast this process picks up in speed and efficiency. The entire body senses that a general housecleaning is taking place and every soft-tissue cell of the body, besides the vital tissue mentioned earlier, will respond favorably - each to a greater or lesser extent.

As the body readies itself for organic rejuvenation, the old ‘memory’ it has of the common weight range of the faster will usually undergo a needed transformation. A new and much healthier weight range ‘signature’ will be assigned to the body. All of this takes place without any conscious effort by the faster. 

This new signature carries with it a brand new set of signals for the brain. The most important of which, after the fast and appropriate follow up periods are complete, is a chemical mechanism of great importance in developing a new and healthier pattern of food consumption following the fast.  

Prior to the fast it may have been the faster’s dangerous and ill-advised habit to eat until full. As a direct consequence of the fast, the brain will be closely monitoring the entire process of nutrient ingestion and will signal a feeling of satiety to the stomach when it feels enough food and beverage have been consumed at any one time – often times before the eater feels full.

The new standard is not to eat until one is full, but instead, to eat until one is no longer hungry – big difference. The difference now, as compared to the period before the fast, is that the brain is attempting to instill its new demands on the entire organism and it will try to commandeer all willing organs, systems and functions to do as such. The brain is determined to follow the healthier blueprint for a more streamlined, fit and stronger body than before the fast. This is the new signature at work. 

What happens at the cellular level during this time is that the cell nucleus will signal to the body that it requires new and much more nutritious food for immediate fuel and to use for food reserve storage.  Each cell will be working more efficiently to remove toxic waste products as they arise within the cell. This is cellular metabolism moving along in high gear.  

As long as the person responds in kind to the new demands of the brain, the body will require much less food to maintain health and vigor throughout the entire organism. As each soft-tissue cell reconstitutes itself during the weeks following a prolonged fast, the mass of fluid and material that begins to once again surround each cell’s nucleus will be to a much lesser degree than prior to the fast. Speed, strength and efficiency are the body’s cellular boarding pass on this ship to health and long life.

This is the new signature, the new ‘look’ the brain wants. It is the body size that it deems most appropriate and healthy for the demands of the faster’s lifestyle – not according to some exercise Guru’s weight loss plan or some tummy tucking scheme. This is Nature at work and doing what only she knows how to do best – finding a weight range that is both healthy and appropriate for who that person is. 

Along with this signature, the brain will impart subconscious and conscious suggestions to the personality to engage in whatever occupational activities, sensible exercises and pastimes are appropriate to support and foster the new look and feel of the body. If all goes well the person will adopt healthier dietary habits, a biologically-friendly lifestyle and will foster a mental and emotional environment favorable to long-term and even permanent maintenance of the newly found, healthier weight range. 

     The key to success will be the adoption of a mentality that enables this process to take place daily without the person feeling a need or desire for change in routine. Yes, this takes discipline – mental, emotional and physiological discipline. However, if this type of program is pursued daily, in small but steady steps and with an eventual goal of organic, functional efficiency, instead of a desired number of pounds to be shed, anyone desiring to bring their weight under conscious control can meet with success."

What can this website do for YOU?

In a word... PLENTY!

If you can trust me enough to walk with me down the beautiful, winding country road that leads to my special place, I’ll show you:

  • How to safely and intelligently decide who you should see for counseling or treatment when your health problems and concerns require the services of a health care Practitioner.
     
  • How to intelligently and safely take care of many simple Primary Care health issues in your home.
     
  • Simple and sensible solutions to complex health problems.
     
  • An easy and responsible way to be healthy, fit and maintain a sensible weight range without space age vitamin therapy, overly strenuous exercise routines or dangerous diet plans.
     
  • How to find an appropriate traditionally trained or Alternative Medicine Practitioner when you need professional Primary Care medical attention.
     
  • How to wade through all of the health-related mumbo jumbo you're bombarded with daily and determine, for yourself, what's real and what's only smoke and mirrors.

My friend, I believe it’s safe to say my experience and knowledge about all aspects of the health care industry that are important to you are unique. I’ve seen the landscape from both sides of the fence – traditional and alternative - and I KNOW what I’m talking about.

As you read every word of what I have to say at this site, you’ll see for yourself why I’ve undertaken this mission to reach out to you and others I’m concerned about. I want to help you in a real and practical way that can make you feel better, about your body, your life and about who you are. I can help you if:

  • You're tired of hearing about how dangerous it is to entrust your health to a supposed ‘quack’ Alternative Medicine Practitioner or any other well-trained Holistic Doctor.
     
  • You want to know why our current health care system is so distant, cold and aloof and often seems to care more about profits than satisfactory patient care and wellness.

I have two primary purposes in mind for this website: 

  • To prove to you, without a doubt, that well-trained Practitioners of Alternative Medicine - right where you live – are capable of seeing you for many Primary Care and Secondary Care health issues.  
  • To suggest preventive and remedial health measures you can pursue at home when you’re ill and you can’t get in to see a traditional Family Doctor or can’t afford, at that time, to see an appropriate Alternative Medicine Practitioner, or when you prefer to personally take care of your health issue/s by yourself.

Stick around for the ride. I have a lot of interesting, startling and completely unexpected turns in store for you.
