More MD's turning to Natural Medicine to Heal Themselves (VIDEOS)
Resourced from Food Matters
Where
do MD's turn when they get sick themselves? Surprisingly, instead of
using the protocol they normally prescribe to their patients, we are
seeing more and more conventional Medical Doctors turning to Natural and
Integrative Medicine to heal themselves.
Dr Alejandro Junger, MD
Dr
Junger is a progressive integrative doctor who has turned his personal
frustration with the conventional medical system into a way to help more
people. Here is his story:
Dr. Alejandro Junger was born in Uruguay.
He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City
for his post graduate training. He completed three years of training in
Internal Medicine at NYU Down town Hospital and three more years of
fellow ship in Cardiovascular Diseases at Lenox Hill Hospital.
His
drastic change in lifestyle and diet from his move to New York City soon
reflected as irritable bowel syndrome and depression. Becoming a patient
of the system he was practicing was such a shock, that it started a
journey to search for an alternative solution to his health problems.
His
findings are the subject of his first book, Clean. In it, Dr.Junger
describes how he became aware of the toxicity of our planet. He also
explains how detoxification and cleansing have been around for thousands
of years, but knowledge about them has been lost at time when it is more
important than ever before.

Dr. Habib Sadeghi, MD
Dr
Sadgeghi lost his passion for his medical studies after being diagnosed
with cancer. Instead, he embarked on a journey which evolved into the
study of alternatives to modern science. This pivotal moment in his
life renewed his passion for medicine and gave him purpose. He has a
been passionate advocate for integrative modalities ever since. Here is
his story:
His story continues from above: During my second year of medical school, I
was diagnosed with cancer. In the eyes of the health care system I
was instantly reduced from human being to “cancer patient.” As a
young medical student, I was devastated. My treatment options were
very bleak. Chemotherapy was, of course, the recommended course of action,
but the benefits were questionable at best. I was routinely
prescribed anti-anxiety medications and painkillers, but neither my
family nor I were ever offered any meaningful psychosocial support.
Nutrition was never mentioned let alone the impact of my emotions,
thoughts, or belief system. All alternative or unconventional therapies
were dismissed as a complete waste of time. I began to recognize the
very limited thinking of a great many conventional physicians.
Throughout
the tumultuous duration of my dis-ease, I had a relentless thought: “If
my family and I are experiencing this with every available resource, what
must others go through who don’t have such resources?” Profoundly
disturbed by these recurring thoughts, I felt compelled to do something.
My dis-ease was forcing me to look outside myself and beyond the
confines of modern medicine. Ultimately, out of that pit of fire was born
a vision for the Be Hive of Healing.
Instinctively, I knew I
needed to honor and care for my mind, heart, and spirit, as well as my
body. I took a year-long leave of absence from medical school, during
which I experimented with yoga and vegetarian food. I explored the depths
of my emotions and subconscious mind to discover a compassion and
tenderness that I’d yet to fully realize. I was then able to offer that
compassion to the frightened, painful, and neglected parts of myself.
Rather than viewing my crisis as an obstacle to overcome, I saw it as a
blessing- an opportunity to discover my authentic self and what is truly
important in my life. Throughout that year, I intuitively understood that
Be Hive of Healing would need to become a haven to address and heal all
the facets of our deepest selves-physically, intellectually, emotionally,
and spiritually.
I chose to return to medical school with a
renewed intention: to cultivate an inclusive model of healing; I wanted
to utilize my conventional medical training to scientifically examine
other healing methods, by the measures of genomics, molecular biology,
biochemistry,and psychoneuroimmunology. I immersed myself in the study
of Nutrition and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, and was propelled
onto a journey into the worlds of Ayurveda, Tibetan Medicine,
Anthroposophical Medicine, Acupuncture and energy healing. I came to
understand not only the practical applications of these ancient healing
traditions, but the profound impact they could have on the practice of
modern medicine.
Be Hive of Healing is the embodiment of a vision
of integrated health that emerged from my own personal experience- a
vision shared by seekers of true healing. It is a multi-disciplinary
network of healing professionals gathered together to empower individuals
to achieve optimal wellness. Against a backdrop of unconditional love,
we are committed to addressing the essential question: what is the best
course of healing for each individual.
As I have been both patient and
doctor, I understand not only the desire to be well, but the
vigilance and openness required to explore every available road to
wellness. In a westernized profession that is often closed to the wisdom
of holistic modalities, we are in desperate need of a resource center
that offers a complete spectrum of personalized healing. Be Hive of
Healing is that center.
