Why should you use our services? Why would you trust that our intention is to help you, not just earn a living? We feel that healing requires a belief that those who support your health truly care about how you feel today and in the future.
When it comes to your long term health, you need to be able to trust that you come first, that you will be helped. How do we fit into that? It starts with why we got involved in natural healing in the first place. . .
1.) In the early 90's, I had some rather severe intestinal pain. After several months, uncomfortable tests, useless drugs and no relief, my doctor informed me that "You have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you don't seem to have most of the symptoms, but that is what you have." OK, did my doctor really hear what she said? She had NO idea what was wrong with me. I happened to get a book on herbs and made up an herb tea mixture of my own. I had no idea of what I was doing, but I had to try something. Two days later my pain stopped! Two days. After a year of pain a simple tea stopped the pain. I would find out later that I had picked up some parasites while living in Hong Kong and those had to be dealt with.
2.) My wife, Wendy, gets anemic when she is pregnant. Since we have had 6 kids, this has been a challenge for her. The doctor gave her this monstrously large iron pill that barely did anything for her. After a couple of kids we found out that a simple herb 'Yellow Dock' works wonders. We also learned that any high chlorophyll food (dark green veggies) would do the trick as well. Again, the doctor followed a faulty protocol rather than helping the situation.
3.) We come from Sacramento California. It has been labeled the 'Ear Infection Capital of the U.S.' and for good reason. There are more childhood ear infections there per capita than any other location in the America. So, like all good families, our first two children got ear infections. So we were given antibiotics by the doctor. The ear infection went away. Then they got a yeast infection from having been on antibiotics. So we got a cream to treat that. Then the ear infections came back. We went through this cycle several times. It was so bad that when we finally got through it, our second daughter had to have speech therapy because for about a year she couldn't really hear anybody clearly! So how did we get through it? With a simple Essential Oil applied to their ears. We have had 4 children since and we do NOT get ear infections any more!
4.) I studied herbal nutrition and entered a pre-med program so that I could go to a Naturopathic Medical College. That was stopped in the middle by a really bad car accident. (Healing details are on the Bowen page) Many many hours of training were lost as I had serious memory issues after the accident. More challenging was that as I got more chiropractic and physical therapy, I got worse instead of better. I had to leave main stream medicine and take control of my own health in order to begin the healing process. I have a great empathy for those who are in pain, because I have been there. I had migraines that turned me into a whimpering animal because of their severity. But most of all, I am glad that I found a way through it so that I could be here today to help you on your path to health and well being.
5.) We have seen too many people left with pain, side effects of drugs, and many other problems simply because their doctor did not know what to do so that they could be healthy. We believe that medicine has its place. Many of us would not be here today if it were not for modern medicine. However, doctors have too much to remember in order to save lives, they do not get the training to help you regain your health. We have helped many people take back their health and well being naturally.
We look forward to serving you.
