Id like to take a few moments to tell you about us and to share with you why I and my staff think our dental practice is such a special place. Id also like to share what we hope to accomplish for our patients, the public and other professional health care providers.
The truth is, I could not passively stand by anymore, waiting for my patients and fellow health care providers to make healthier decisions in their lives. I know that most people are either misinformed aboutorunaware of the risks of traditional dental practices and the benefits of biological care.
I choose to focus on biological dentistry because I believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the practice of dentistry. A transformation that will shift the focus of dental practices away from the emergency treatment of symptoms towards compassionate, comprehensive and preventative biological care that fully embraces the philosophy of Hippocrates: First do no harm.
First, I should mention the skilled professionals on our staff. I am exceptionally proud of the people who make up our team because I know each of them will go out of their way to make you feel at home, welcome and comfortable during your visit.
When it comes to patient care, our office is special because of our continuing commitment to education and training that allows us to give you the very best care available. This training allows us to evaluate and treat the whole body, safely remove toxic materials, and replace them with individually selected biocompatible (life supporting) materials.
Throughout the world there are only a few dentists trained to offer these kinds of services. And, even among these few, not all of them are aware of the extensive safety protocols necessary to protect themselves and their patients from possible toxic side effects of mercury amalgam filling removal.
When you began reading about the comprehensive care we offer, you might have assumed this meant more frequent and more expensive visits, but the opposite is true. We have developed a program that, if followed over a lifetime, will actually minimize your visits to the dentist.
Thank you again for your interest in our practice. I hope youll see in us the compassion and excellence you are looking for from a health care provider and Ill be honored to help you achieve your health goals when you come to see us.
He was only 64. His father had also died of heart disease at age 64. As if that werent bad enough, I have systemically high cholesterol, which cannot be controlled by diet. So, you see, I am a prime target for early death from a heart attack.
My exploration into health and healing began ten years earlier in 1968 when I first started Transcendental Meditation. I had just returned from active duty in the U.S. Navy with two tours in Viet Nam. To say I was stressed would be an understatement.
Meditation not only helped me to calm my mind I also became more sensitive to how my thoughts, actions and emotions affected my health. So, during my undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate studies in Psychology, I developed an interest in health and healing.
I devoured everything I could find to read on health psychology. I invested thousands of hours in workshops on hypnosis and mind/body healing. I personally explored and tested every new idea, procedure and approach I could get my hands on.
We live in a country with the most expensive healthcare system in the world. No other country comes even close to what we spend, either per person or total expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product.
We may have an incredible emergency response system, but when it comes to dealing with chronic, degenerative illness, traditional medical treatments of drugs, surgery and radiation are not sufficient to heal the suffering of millions of people.
It is our belief that Western medicine has lost its heart and soul. This honorable profession has allowed itself to be taken over by the billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry, the insurance industry and other related businesses.
In short, modern medicine has become Big Business and has lost sight of its sworn oath to first do no harm. Depending on whose statistics you rely on, Western Medicine is now either the first, the second or the third leading cause of death in this country.
Our goal is to stop this modern-day plague and change the face of healthcare forever. We will accomplish this, not by shouting about the shortcomings of Western medicine, but by providing an alternative.
