Introduction
My Growing Fascination
Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated with health. I would hear statements
such as, “You cannot live without your health.” Or, “The most important things
in your life are your family and your health.” I often wondered what this thing
called health was, and why it was so important. I would walk through my home
town of Windsor, Ontario, wondering why this person was in a wheelchair or
why another walked with a limp.
While I grew up, my family was all relatively healthy. We didn’t frequent the
doctor’s office very often, as my mother treated the common cold and flu at
home with homeopathy & herbs. She had immigrated from India with my father
six years before I was born and she still trusted her culture’s traditional wisdom.
In my family, I was the accident-prone one. I often ended up in the emergency
room with a dislocated knee, a sprained ankle or a broken arm. My father once
told me that I must love the hospital because I was in the emergency room more
than all of my three other siblings combined! Luckily, everything I experienced
was relatively minor and I always seemed to mend well. My mother once
commented that she thought I liked the emergency room so much that I got
myself in trouble on purpose! She may have been right about that.
In fact, I did love the emergency room. I loved observing what went on there. I
would sit back, and watch patients come and go, and marvel in fascination as
physicians and nurses diligently went about their work. My eyes sparkled when I
saw patients leave the hospital room with a smile. My fascination with health
and the beginnings of a long journey towards becoming a healer was just
starting.
It was no surprise to my parents that their accident-prone daughter, who loved
the emergency room so much, ended up choosing medicine as a career. I was so
excited that I started medical school at nineteen, and was out working as a
family doctor by the time
I was twenty-five. I took the fast forward approach! My desire was so strong. I
wanted to get out in the world and make a difference like all of those physicians
and nurses that I watched in the hospital.
After finishing medical school, my life took very unexpected & interesting twists
and turns. It led me on a path of studying alternative medicine, mind-body
medicine, yoga and many other forms of healing. My eyes were opened to new
things. I started to have a different understanding of disease and health, outside
of the domain of western medicine.
Now I am approaching twenty years of practice, and my methods have changed
drastically. My entire approach to disease, health and healing has transformed. I
believe that my greatest job as a healer is to help people to develop a new
relationship with their body that connects them with themselves.
My Life’s Work
The book you are holding is a compilation of my life’s work to date. This is
what I teach and talk about every day, and what I help my patients learn for
themselves. In this book, I hope to open your eyes to a whole new way of
viewing health, your body, and disease.
In the first few chapters I’ll share how I came to my beliefs about health,
including my early medical career and my own personal health crisis.
We’ll review the current and historical models of western medicine, including
my own model, which I call the mind-body-Spirit model. Together, we will
review the scientific research behind alternative medicine, and explore various
alternative paths and teachings, all geared to opening your eyes to your innate
healing abilities.
I’ll review my five-step path to healing your deepest injuries, weather mental,
physical or spiritual. I will also show you the overlap of the three elements –
mind, emotions & Spirit in relation to health.
I will also give you an insider’s view into medicine today. We will talk about the
benefits of our health care system and all that it has to offer and how to use it in
conjunction with the mind-body-Spirit approach.
My deepest hope is that this book inspires you to become pro-active in your
health. I sincerely wish that you can see and embrace your body again, and truly
love it for what it has to offer you. I hope that you will see that your body truly
does love you and wants to be healthy and feel better.
Join me on this journey of health and healing. I am excited you are here and
delighted to share this information with you!
