A Physician’s Diary

Case Histories of Hope and Healing with Edgar Cayce’s and Other Natural Remedies

by Dr. Dana Myatt

This book is a confirmation of the innate healing ability of the human body and mind.

Dr. Dana Myatt, a practicing naturopathic family physician, is in the vanguard of a growing number of health professionals who know and practice better health and healing through the use of natural remedies.

Her book will take you on a fascinating journey as she embarks on a career of medicine-as-usual, only to be drawn toward the art of natural healing as encouraged by Edgar Cayce and others who believe in the healing power of nature.

The case histories of her patients offer compelling evidence that there are other ways to heal the body instead of only drugs and surgery, and she makes a strong case for the practice of complementary medicine, where different healing disciplines work together in the highest interest of the patient.

This is a book for everyone who seeks to better understand how natural methods can heal, and also how the body and mind cooperate to create healing.

233 pages of information and inspiration. Softcover.

Personally autographed and dedicated by Dr. Myatt upon request.

Not only was this book offered as a member benefit for the 25,000 members of The Association of Research and Enlightenment and featured on CNBC’s Alive and Wellness, it has become a very popular read for students of alternative healing disciplines, like BMc who wrote:

Hi Dr Myatt,

Just wanted to send you a short note to let you know how much I have been enjoying your book, A Physician’s Diary. I bought this book with the intention of giving it as a gift to a classmate. However, as I leafed through it, I found it fascinating. Now I’ve almost finished it.

What a wonderful book. I am an older (50ish) student who recently left her job to start a Master’s degree in Acupuncture here in Maryland. I have found myself regularly wondering if I am doing the right thing (usually when I have to pay tuition or buy books). Reading your book has helped keep me focused.

Thanks,
BMc

Videos With Dr. Dana Myatt

Body 101: The Body/Mind Connection

Our thoughts have direct influence on our bodies. Modern medicine now recognizes the power of thought to control bodily functions, and the discipline of psychoneuroimmunology has been the result.

Dr. Myatt explains the Body/Mind Connection in terms of easy-to-understand physiology. She explains how thoughts become translated into flesh via the endocrine and nervous system. And she explains how we can draw upon that knowledge to change unproductive habits, heal our bodies, and create new circumstances.

Dr. Myatt’s Videos are now available in both VHS and DVD formats!

“Fast Energy,” Immune and Blood Pressure Regulating Organs

The adrenal glands are the “fast” energy-producing endocrine organs in the body. Adrenaline (epinephrine) and nor-adrenaline are made by the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands also make hormones which help control blood pressure (mineralocorticoids) and regulate the immune system (cortisol and cortisone).

In conventional medicine, only “complete adrenal failure” (Addison’s disease) or life threatening over-function (Cushing’s syndrome) are recognized as a health problems. In holistic medicine, we recognize that “degrees” of decreased or increased adrenal function play a role in health and disease.

ADRENAL SUPPORT

Vitamin/Herb Formula for Healthy Adrenal Function

Adrenal Support formula is Dr. Myatt’s own vitamin and herb combination to nourish and support healthy adrenal gland function. This product is designed to improve adrenal function in those who have decreased adrenal gland activity and/or low adrenal gland reserve.

Pantothenic acid and vitamin C are required for adrenocortical steroid synthesis. In fact, the adrenal glands are one of the higher users of vitamin C in the body. Pantothenic acid activates the adrenal glands.

Licorice extract contains compounds that inhibit the breakdown of adrenal hormones (glucocorticoids), thus extending their life and activity.

L-tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid (protein building block) that serves as the precursor of several neurotransmitters including norepinephrine and epinephrine, hormones made by the adrenal glands.

Rhodiola rosea is an herb used since ancient times to increase physical endurance, treat fatigue and enhance the nervous system. Modern studies confirm that rhodiola may enhances physical endurance, improve thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function and protect the nervous system, heart, and liver. Rhodiola also appears to have adaptogenic properties.

Eleuthero is an “adaptogen” (an agent that helps the body adapt to stress) thought to help support adrenal gland function when the body is stressed. It has been used for at least 2,000 years according to Chinese medical texts. It is also called Siberian ginseng and has been used in Russia for many years to support physical endurance.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) contains steroidal molecules similar to to the active constituents of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng). Ashwagandha has been seen to stimulate the immune system, inhibit inflammation and improve memory in animal studies. These actions may explain the herbs traditional reputation an adaptogen (an herb with multiple, nonspecific actions that counteract the effects of stress).

Suggested use for adults: 2 caps, 1-3 times per day with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.
