Alan E SmithLike many people I only turned to complementary and alternative therapies when mainstream medicine couldn't help me. (It's amazing how open-minded you become when you're in pain!) I reluctantly began my exploration into this new world following a disppointing visit to The Mayo Clinic. It was hard for me to believe that modern medical science didn't have all of the answers, but I was living proof that their knowledge and technology today has limits. Being part of the Baby Boomer generation, the group that has changed America at every stage of our life, has its advantages. I knew that the current medical attitude needed to change too. There had to be another way to solve this problem, something the doctors weren't telling me. I had reached the point of desperation where I was willing to try, or at least consider, anything. I'm sure many of you can empathize with this feeling. In one of those wonderful bits of synchronicity in life I read a review of an interesting new book by Bruce Lipton called the Biology of Belief. To this day I don't know where I saw it, but I did, and it was the first stepping stone to a new world of hope and health. From Bruce's book I discovered Rob William's PSYCH-K(R) process and a new way to communicate with my subconscious to discover the real source of some of my health problem. I took the first PSYCH-K(R) Basic Workshop and found several tantalizing hints that the source of my health issues was stress caused by the realization that my 20+ year career in supermarket promotions was coming to a close. More than two decades of traveling weekly all across the country had also taken a physical toll. My health began to improve and so did my outlook on life. After taking the Advanced Workshop I began doing PSYCH-K(R) with friends. I quickly realized that what was really needed was a better way to educate the public about all of the wonderful complementary and alternative health options that are available today. The idea for a new, state-of-the-art reference guide to complementary and alternative therapies was born on April 18th, 2006 with a list of just a few processes. As I researched one process I'd discover one or two more I'd never heard of before, so the list just kept growing. Along the way I've had the privilege to speak with many wonderful people. Their support and their words of encouragement made it possible for me to bring this idea to fruition. I hope that you too will find your way to the right process or device to improve your health and your life. My quest to provide you with the best and most up-to-date information on complementary and alternative therapies continues on our weekly podcast show which launched on July 18th, 2008. On each program I present a 20-minute interview with one of the luminaries in this emerging new world of health and hope.
