Transcript:
Hi, I’m Heather Tick and I am an Integrative physician which means I like to use both conventional medicine and the things that people have called complementary and alternative medicine strategies to help my patients. I also collaborate with a lot of other kinds of health disciplines like massage therapist, physical therapist, chiropractors, reiki therapist, all kinds, anybody who’s able to help my patients get better. I’ve written a book all about the Integrative Health Strategies that you can use for dealing with your own pain. Now, pain is a serious problem in our country which means that either you’re in pain or you know somebody in pain. So that’s why I wrote the book to put the information out there and allow people to go through the book and explore one thing at a time, have it as a reference. It’s full of a lot of very, very useful suggestions but the other thing that the book tells you is why should we be using a lot of the alternative methods for treatment as opposed to the conventional drugs in certain surgeries and procedures that we got to certain things we’re using.
Now don’t get me wrong, modern medicine has many, many wonderful innovations that have made our lives better but I think we’ve gone too far because instead of living healthy lifestyles we think we can eat poorly, not exercise, avoid sleep, be stress out in our minds and still use drugs to solve all those problems. And in fact, that won’t happen. Your health has more to do with what you eat, drink, think, feel and do than with your genetics or with whatever I can do with drugs and procedures. So I need my patients to be collaborators to work with me and to strive for better health.
In the book I’ve also described why we got into such a mess with our healthcare system. Why we reach for prescription pads before we tell people about food? Why its common place to do procedures before we refer to a reiki therapist or to a massage therapist? And so what I called it is trying to get health care right-side up, the small part pyramid of the top should what we’re doing mostly now which is drugs, surgery and procedures. The big part of the pyramid at the bottom should be healthy lifestyles; what we eat, what we do for exercise, how we sleep, how we take care of our physical needs, how we take care of our social needs. Those things are all more important and should be taking up most of our attention. Drugs, surgery and procedures are a small part of the picture. So I call this health care right-side up and the book is Holistic Pain Relief.
