Have you been diagnosed with one of the seven deadly chronic lifestyle diseases: type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer, obesity, arthritis, anxiety, or depression? Do you wish there were more choices to heal your illness? According to the National Health Council, 133 million Americans suffer from at least one chronic illness. By the year 2020, that number will have grown to a projected 157 million - or almost 50% of the adult US population. With this alarming growth rate, we can deduct that modern medicine as we know it today doesn't have a steadfast solution for curing these chronic lifestyle diseases.

Yet if we take an integrative approach to this problem and include complementary and alternative medicines, we might find the best of both worlds and tackle this growing health crisis. We must keep our minds and heart open to ancient healing wisdom, and we must treat the patient as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. 

As a patient, it starts with you. Enlightened Medicine will help you understand how your body works and how to heal from within. Get empowered as you learn your part in the physician-patient relationship and how you can bring healing to the table by familiarizing yourself with the disease process and becoming an active participant in your path to wellness.
