I began my learning experiences by “accidentally” finding a
program on TV called Your Health* hosted by Dr. Richard Becker and his wife, Cindy. Since I believe there are no accidents, I
know that finding this program was, in reality, a divine blessing. Dr. Becker is also knowledgeable in the field
of molecular biology and this man really does his research. He often references the National Institutes of Health reference databases. Here we can find research to back up the healing powers of plants and
supplements!

searching for Dr. Richard Becker or Your Health. Here are more links to his videos viawebcrawler .
Often, Your Health features guest physicians that are active in reforming outdated ideas in the mainstream medical community. They also acknowledge the power of traditional medicine and believe in the holistic approach to health. Below are just a few of the doctors I have seen on this program:
Dr. Russell L. Blaylock is a respected medical doctor who
is unafraid to challenge establishment thinking. He doesn't parrot what the New
England Journal of Medicine — which receives heavy subsidies in advertisements
— claims.
Dr. Blaylock is a nationally recognized, board-certified
neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author and lecturer. He has more than a
quarter-century of medical experience. His credentials include 26 years of experience in
neurosurgery, editorship of the respected Journal of American Physicians and
Surgeons and Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association.
Dr. Blaylock edits The Blaylock Wellness Report
because he believes that too many Americans are not getting the best advice for
preventing and dealing with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, brain diseases
such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and dozens of health problems now plaguing
the American people.
Dr. Blaylock receives no funding from the pharmaceutical
industry. He has no deals to sell you the health products he may recommend. He just gives you the best cutting-edge science that
shows how you can improve your health — and possibly live longer.
A physician, researcher, author, and the medical director
of PATH (Place for Achieving Total Health) Medical as well as coordinator of
clinical research for PATH Foundation NY, both in New York City. Braverman has
published journal articles and popular books on the topics of neurology, psychiatry,
internal medicine, bariatrics,
and preventative medicine.
Braverman specializes in anti-aging and considers a
person to be as "young as his or her oldest body part." He has
created a brain health checkup, which aims to identify early cognitive decline,
mild cognitive impairment, and
age-related learning differences. He
describes the "Edge Effect," as the combined effect of optimizing the
neurotransmitters of dopamine, acetylcholine,
GABA and serotonin to
produce a cascade of wellness. Braverman's work primarily focuses on brain
health, promoting the use of bioidentical hormone
replacement therapy, creative implementation of conventional medicine, and personal
responsibility.
Dr. Dean's not only a medical doctor, but also a
naturopath, herbalist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, lecturer, consultant,
author. Dr. Dean has been in the forefront of health issues for over 30 years.
She graduated from Dalhousie Medical School in 1978,
holds a medical license in California and is a graduate of The Ontario
College of Naturopathic Medicine – now the Canadian College of Naturopathic
Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto. She served on the board of Governors of the CCNM
for six years.
Dr. Dean has authored or coauthored over thirty books,
including How To Change Your Life With Magnesium, Future Health Now!
Encyclopaedia, Death by Modern Medicine: Seeking Safe Solutions, The Magnesium
Miracle, The Yeast Connection and Women’s Health, IBS for DUMMIES, IBS
Cookbook for DUMMIES and Hormone Balance.
A cardiologist whose integrative approach to treating
cardiovascular disease has revitalized patients with even the most advanced
forms of illness. His expertise is grounded in more than 30 years of
clinical practice, research, and study beginning as an attending physician at
Manchester Memorial Hospital (Eastern Connecticut Health Network). His career
there included nine years as chief of cardiology, 18 years as director of
medical education, seven years as director of echocardiography, three years as
director of cardiac rehabilitation, and one year as director of the weight
reducing program. In 1987, Dr. Sinatra founded the New England Heart Center.
Through it, he became a well-known advocate of combining conventional medical
treatments for heart disease with complementary nutritional, anti-aging, and
psychological therapies.
Dr. Sinatra’s written works include more than a dozen
books, including The Great Cholesterol Myth, Reverse Heart Disease Now,
and Heartbreak & Heart Disease, as well as dozens of contributions
to peer-reviewed medical journals such as the Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA), Heart Disease, CT Medicine, and
the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation. He also wrote the monthly
newsletter Heart, Health & Nutrition for more than 15 years.
Dr. Sinatra’s holistic treatment methods focus on
reducing inflammation and maximizing the heart’s ability to produce and use
energy. This best-of-both-worlds approach consistently results in the best
possible patient outcomes—no matter whether a patient has advanced congestive
heart failure or a comparatively simple problem like high blood
pressure.
