FAQS OF NATURAL HEALTHCARE
Do I have to change my lifestyle?
It may be that for certain disorders some dietary and behavioral recommendations are prescribed. Dr. Wiedershine will work with you to make these adjustments in your daily routine as easy as possible, usually in steps over time. The adjustments bring about balance so that you are usually rewarded at each step of the process.
How often do I need to see you?
That depends on the disorder. It may be that you will have one to three visits in the first week and then weekly treatments for a month. Or, a more intensive program may involve three visits per week for three weeks, with a gradual lessening of the frequency over the following month(s). Treatment of drug addictions requires an even more time–intensive program.
What are the advantages of going the natural route, using holistic medicine?
The number one cause of death in the US is medical treatment. This iatrogenenic (medicine–caused) mortality is from “properly prescribed” prescriptions and procedures! While no one doubts the value of medical treatment in a life–and–death situation, it’s use for non–life threatening conditions is equivocal. We are not alone in believing that the trend of the future must be towards non–invasive, effective, natural, holistic care. Both humanistically and economically it is the only thing that makes sense.
What are the disadvantages of going the natural route?
Sometimes using holistic medicine can be slower than going the conventional medical route; however, often it can be faster. Natural medicine is more desirable even if it is slower because there are no dangerous side effects. The complementary and alternative healthcare treatments that we offer are targeting the underlying imbalances This means that natural healthcare supports health on a deeper, more holistic level, giving a greater possibility of non–invasive cure, and offering true preventative medicine.
There are so many natural medicine doctors and systems out there. How do I know that this is the route to take?
Dr. Wiedershine has been in natural medicine for over thirty years, with thirteen years of learning under the great masters of natural medicine. This experience has enabled him to focus his energy and expertise on the most effective systems of natural medicine. These systems work on the fundamental levels of the mind–body to enliven the intelligence of the body and re–establish balance.
Dr. Wiedershine has also focused on those programs and systems that bring about results in the quickest and most cost–effective manner without side–effects.
Do any of your treatments hurt?
Auriculotherapy may involve some discomfort if the patient is particularly sensitive. A sensitive ear acupuncture point indicates an organ or system in the body that is in need of rebalancing through auriculotherapy. Aside from that, most treatments cause no pain and can be quite enjoyable, such as Ayurvedic massage, Rife treatments, Alpha Stim, Shirodhara, the Raindrop technique, etc.
What are Ayurveda and Meditation?
Ayurveda is the oldest extant whole health system in the world. Yoga and meditation are branches of it. Both Ayurveda and meditation balance the mind, body, and behavior. They do not require belief on the part of the practitioner because both systems affect the physiology directly.
