There are many theories and approaches to natural health, & every theory sounds good in practice. We know for sure what works for us through experience. One major discussion around the world is wether to be vegan or vegetarian. [To be clear: here I mean vegan eats no dairy where vegetarians do eat dairy.]

Ayurveda is special because it tailors your eating habits according to your personal constitution, and not general theory. The ancient seers or rishis of India were aware that certain foods are spiritual or sattwic (yes Ayurveda offers you an option to eat a spiritual diet), and dairy is one of those foods. Ayurvedic India worships cows, so they get more than good treatment, they get divine caring; and calfs are fed before humans drink the milk - so there is the highest ethical standards, and a loving relationship between the farmers and cows. The organic farmers I meet in the US have a very special 'calling' to be dairy farmers, there is a loving bond there that is quite special. That said, for each major personal constitution, Ayurveda constitutional options for dairy vary (how poetic).
  • The water or Kapha constitution person does better with goat milk as it produces less mucus.
  • The fire (Pitta) & air (Vayu or Vata) individuals do well with dairy from cows - it builds immune sap and spiritual energy (kundalini shakti).
From the Ayurvedic perspective, Kapha folks will do best with less dairy, though if Vayu or Pitta people stop eating dairy, their health will slowly diminish. Ultimately, it requires a personal to test all theories they are drawn to, though at least Ayurveda offers some middle ground to experiement with before going to the opposite extreme.

Clearly some of the most stressful careers are those of the first responders - the police, firefighters, EMTs, and homeland security. The key is is to remove post traumatic stress (PTSD) after responding to crises. Fortunately modern medicine is now embracing alternative medicine and a recent study found 40% of the US population uses holistic therapies, so credible, profound healings can be used to help those fellow citizens who protect our lives.


The Need:

  • To remain alert and vigilant without tension or stress prior to situations
  • To remain clear and effective during a crisis
  • To unwind and dissolve the mental and physical stress post-crisis - not holding onto or reliving the stresses except for learning capacity.

The Solution:

  • Ayurvedic food plans provide a foundation of mental and physical health from which to remain strong and alert and let stress roll over us.

  • Ayurvedic lifestyle therapies help maintain calm AND alert pre-crisis, and dissolve stress post-crisis (eg, aromatherapy relaxes the mind; yoga stretches and releases stress from the muscles.)
  • Ayurvedic herbal brain tonics help keep mind and body clear, alert, calm, and stress-free. Other herbs clean the blood, lungs, liver and other organs after exposure to environmentally toxic conditions (eg, fire, chemical plant; there is an ayurvedic doctor in NY city treating firefighters from 9-11 healing their lungs from the air-borne toxins at ‘ground zero’).
  • Meditation, thought-pattern exercises and life purpose & vision exercises keep people in touch with their soul, the meaning of their life, and on target to achieve their highest goals to serve humanity and live in their paradise.

Case studies from around the USA (including my clients) show ADD, Diabetes, Social deviant behavior - all begin to change within days despite external situations.


Yoga: attention, grades & social interaction improves - even when parents don't have enough time after work for their children; An extreme example of how well yoga works: one high school girl told me after 1/2 hour of yoga that she felt better from the yoga than she did when she was taking heroine.


Nutrition: grades & social interaction improves when children avoid white sugar, junk food, and switch to whole grains and whole cane sugar, and fresh fruits and vegetables. So powerful that even repeat offenders stop breaking the law when eating this holistically


Herbs: children classified with ADD (who have high mercury levels in their bodies/brain) begin to settle down and in one case, returned to regular school system from using ayurvedic herbs that extract heavy metals from the body. Other studies & case studies show herbs, aromas, meditation, etc. that improve memory.

Yesterday I searched the past health care suggestions for President-elect Obama.
I was surprised to find virtually few alt med suggestions, and in fact the number one suggestion that appeared when I did a search for alternative health was an anti-alt med - disband the nccam! It got tons of votes!

Recent studies show 40% of the country is using alt med. 

Bottom line - if we want alt med to be recognized, we have to get involved - get our voice heard.

Now President Obama (ok in another 1.5 hours he'll be president) is again offering to listen.

Attention AltMD health care professionals...you are also changemakers!
The new President Obama administration is seeking a continued online forum of our ideas on alternative/integrative health care.

The best-rated suggestions will rise to the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors. If you participate, your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama. 

Visit the Citizen's Briefing Book now and share your ideas here

In the January 9th Wall St Journal an article was published by four integrative health care leaders, Deepak Chopra, Dean Ornish, Rustum Roy, and Andrew Weil. They spoke to President-elect Obama about how integrative medicine can be the solution to high medical costs, inadequate insurance coverage, and healing and diseases without side effects.

They cited research that found natural lifestyles, foods, yoga, meditation etc. are healing and preventing heart disease, age reversal, cancers, diabetes, cholesterol and many more conditions. $2.1 trillion was spent on US medical care in 2007 (16.5% of the gross national product. And many procedures, such as bypass surgery are dangerous, expensive, and largely ineffective.

The majority of the diseases that account for more premature deaths and expense is prevented through simple changes to a natural diet and lifestyle. Ayurveda offers a holistic menu of natural healing, from diet, to yoga, lifestyle, and also addresses loss of life purpose, meaning, and lack of spiritual fulfillment.

Enroll in Ayurveda certification to ensure your clients receive a complete health care system. They will feel the caring and you will see your client base rise. See more details & Join Today!
