Statement/Dialogue of Purpose
Arcady Holistic Clinic is serious about restoring your health. In years of service, few people have been diagnosed with the popular, easy-out-of-the-mouth diseases of the day such as low thyroid, systemic candida, hypoglycaemia, stressed adrenals or food allergy. However, virtually everyone has been helped by our thorough assessment, real herbal medicine, nature-cure therapies, and development of a roadmap toward ever improving health. In short, we're here to help you get better. We offer programs to help people troubled by years of undiagnosed difficulty, and to heal those not wishing drugs and surgery. We also offer independent services to help and encourage people along their own path of self-determined health care. Who should take our programs?

What illnesses can be overcome?We're stuck in a terminology gap here but the short answer is, "any and all." Here, one is hard pressed to think of any illness which cannot be overcome by nature-cure means. Picture this disease analogy: an individual, poorly clothed, is standing outside in very cold weather. The illness is, of course, coldness. Allopathic (the medical system) treatment is to give pills so that cold tolerance is enhanced or that cold is less felt; surgery or removal of most affected areas such as fingers, toes, ears, and nose; test for body temperatures and body fluid circulations especially in the brain and heart; and use ice-response testing to see how much colder any body part could potentially become. Holistic health treatment is to enable more practical outdoor dressing; teach the person to move indoors when uncomfortable; seek or invite the warmth of others; and learn to enjoy the fringe benefits of coldness like skating or skiing. There is much difference between the holistic "better health" system and the "medical care" system. The choice, thankfully, is yours. Illnesses that we do not treat include drug addition (including medical drugs)* and eating disorders as we are not set up for the support required, physical trauma or very acute emergency care (the medicos are good for some things), in-patient care of any kind (because the "system" doesn't fund kinder, better health care), etc. I'm sure you get the idea. Arcady Holistic defends an individual's right to informed choice in health care. We promote the idea of a parallel, Alternative-paradigm health system (for compeitive vetting of health information), and of consumer-funded (as opposed to supplier-funded) health care to reprioritized health-care dollars according to consumer demand. The slogan of Arcady Holistic is Amicus humani generis (ie. friend of humanity). Real Alternative-health practice demands moral imperatives and a return to consumer control of health care. * Actually we have very good results in getting people off of anti-depressants. This indicates that depression is organically caused and that antidepressants are more of a disease masking drug than an addictive drug. We have very poor results with anxiolytics (it's "just a tiny sleeping pill") indicating that they are truly addictive. |
