Who's this guy who writes this blog?
The Midwest was my chldhood home raised in a loving family of four including myself with a beautiful Kapha Pitta mom and Vata Pitta dad I did athletics which suited my Pitta Vata nature but then medical training left me with staying in shape with personal training and later yoga
Medical training eventuated in doing urology with an early interest in pediatric urology Due to the trials and tribulations of beginning a medical busines I wrote a book for physicians embarking on the same path called the Business of Medicine
Not completely satisfied with the project, through further study I came across the work of Deepak Chopra in 1994 and this began my exploration into Ayurveda and the energy science medical model that I blog about today I did public courses on meditation and the energy science lifestyle recommendations which makes the discipline unique and separate from the present matter science medical model used today
In 2000 due to my own health challenges, I began seeing Dr Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque From the onset the clarity that I came away with convinced me that this was an important healing tradition that contained great wisdom and the capability to heal at any level
For the next ten years I spent my time doing self study of my personal healing and intermittently spending a combined time of months at the Institute During this time I began trying to figure out how I could integrate the discipline into my matter science surgical practice
I decided that the easiest and most pragmatic way to marry the disciplines was through the Ayurvedic nutritional model modifying Dr Lad's original format used at the Institute
This work culminated in a paper on interstitial cystitis presented at the local urological society and an attempt at publishing the work in a mainstream urological journal This has yet to happen although very close But the matter science model is conservative and change in ideas slow
Foods Heal is the result of continued refinement of basic Ayurvedic nutritional information and the attendant formats available at foodsheal.com and this blog
The primary intent is to mainstream the energy science discipline of Ayurveda and show its place in the medical healing tradition currently practiced on the planet
I'm blessed with a wonderful, caring, and supportive wife of thirty eight years; three remarkable children(2 girls and a boy) of whom I am so proud for all their accomplishments; two son in laws who are awesome; and four beautiful grandchildren I love my practice of yoga in all its various expressions as exercise(fits my Pitta Vata exercise needs) Skiing in the winter suits my Pitta so I can chill out and cut the intensity
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
BTW Happy Labor Day!
