HEAVENLY HEALTH.....NATURALLY
Helpful Harping on Good Health............
Good doctors have long understood the many
health benefits
to be found in nature. In addition to the obvious benefit of a
deep breath of fresh, clean air, there are many natural sub-
stances that can be found in nature with "heavenly healing
abilities."
Michael T. Murray, N.D. is known as as one of the world's leading
experts on natural medicine. According to a web site dedicated to
him, He serves on the Board of Trustees of Bastyr University in
Seattle, Washington and is is the co-author of A Textbook of
Natural Medicine a textbook on naturopathic medicine for doctors,
as well as a version of the book for consumers entitled the
Encyclopedia
of Natural Medicine.
Dr. Murray has written over 20 other books including How to
Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine; The Pill Book
Guide to Natural Medicine; Dr. Murray's Total
Body Tune-Up;
5-HTP: The Natural Way to Overcome Depression, Obesity, and
Insomnia; The Healing Power of Herbs; and the Encyclopedia of
Nutritional Supplements.
Dr. Murray has been instrumental in bringing many
effective
natural products to North America, including:
Glucosamine sulfate
St. John's wort extract
Ginkgo biloba extract
Silymarin
Enteric coated peppermint oil
Saw palmetto berry extract
The doctor has been compiling a database of
original scientific
studies from medical literature. He has over 50,000 articles from
the
scientific literature which show strong evidence on the
helpfulness of diet, vitamins and minerals, glandular extracts,
herbs, and
other natural measures in the maintenance of health
and the treatment of disease.
According to Dr. Murray:
"One of the great myths about natural
medicines is that they are
not scientific. The fact of the matter is that for most common
illnesses there is greater support in the medical literature for a
natural approach than there is for drugs or surgery."
It is sad that many people do not realize that
nature can provide
them with good health.
"Michael T. Murray, N.D. has dedicated his life
to educating
physicians, patients, and the general public on the tremendous
healing power of nature."
Dr. Murray's books have cumulative sales of
over two million
copies, According one web site regarding the doctor, he
has
virtually written thousands of articles, appeared on hundreds
of radio and TV programs, and lectured to hundreds of
thousands of people nationwide.
