One of the comments that I hear most often is how
distressingly fast people’s lives move these days. I
hear reminiscences of seemingly endless summer
vacations and long winter evenings spent with family
and hobbies. I hear it from teenagers as well as
adults. I believe that time seems to pass so fast
because we are all much more busy then in the past
and so life has become more like a collage then a
linear process.
I have an exercise that I do in the spring that helps
me to slow things down a bit. About this time of
year, pick out a tree. It could be a tree that you
see out your window, or one you can easily walk to,
or one that you pass on the way to work every day.
The exercise is to simply notice it and to do nothing
else but discern the spring awakening process from
one day to the next. It’s a lovely experience even if
you only just drive by it but being near it for a few
minutes is even better. Small flowering trees like
dogwoods are very satisfying but I also remember
deeply enjoying a long spring being with the delicate
changing hues of green of a weeping willow.

Biological Medicine is an expanded form of
naturopathic medicine that is of the Germanic
European tradition of natural healing. Biological
Medicine techniques are especially successful in
treating what traditional medicine calls nebulous,
chronic, autoimmune, and infectious diseases.
However to learn about Biological Medicine as a
whole, we need a completely different way of
thinking. That is thinking in terms of ”regulation”
and “information” and the idea that all diseases have
their purposes. Regulation refers to a concept of
fine-tuning of the inner milieu and the ability of the
bodymindspirit to maintain an inner balance, even in
a constantly changing environment.
In Biological Medicine theory, symptoms are never
diseases, but rather are signs of dysregulation.
Therefore disease is the expression of the body’s lack
of ability to regulate itself and the result of a
degenerative development. The remedies and life
style suggestions that we recommend are at the root
aimed to strengthen regulation so the body can heal
itself. This is just a simple and rudimentary
explanation of a very complex theory. For further
discussion, please go to our website.

“The point is that our true nature is not some
ideal
that we have to live up to before we can love
ourselves. Our true nature is who we are right now,
and that’s who we want to make intimate friends
with and celebrate.” ~ Pema Chodran

A very dear friend of mine recently died and I was
talking about it with my daughter. My four-year-old
grand daughter Sarah was playing near-by and
said, “Don’t worry Grandma, she’s in heaven”.
Later while my daughter was running an errand,
Sarah and I were reading a story and she said to
me, “You know grandma, I was in heaven before I
came here.’’ “Really!" said I, “And what was it like
there?” “Oh”, Sarah mused, “I can’t remember...It
was a long time ago...But I do remember that
heaven was like a good feeling here on earth.”
So regardless of our belief system, it’s a sweet
story. It also made me think about how committed
we are here at the Center to bring more
good feelings, more bits of “heavenly experience” to
the people who come to us for help.

As an integrative practice, we strive to dwell ever
more deeply in the tradition of honoring both
Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, and that of
Hippocrates, the Greek physician, father of medicine.
Our aim is to wisely blend all potential aids to bring
people ailing in body, mind, and spirit back to
optimum health.
Thank you for continuing to let us serve you!
Warmly,
 Ron, Martha and the Staff
