Jordan Goetz, M.D. and Jennifer
Botwick, N.D. will be lecturing in a two-part
series called Ask the Doctor: Information on Holistic Medicine. Drs. Goetz
and Botwick will co-present the lectures which will be educational seminars
aimed at understanding complementary and alternative therapies and their
impact upon conventional medical treatment and outcome.
In the first seminar Holistic Medicine for Allergies, Drs. Goetz and Botwick
will address how autumn allergies can be very disabling and many times
complicated by the development of sinus infections. This seminar reviews
how and why allergy problems occur, how they can be prevented, and what
can be used to treat them with or without prescription medications. The
second seminar Winter Stress, Winter Blues: Coping Strategies will focus
on how winter can be stressful for many people for many reasons and how
in some people, Seasonal Affective Disorder occurs due to a decrease in
light intensity and quality and results in depression. This seminar will
review how these conditions occur, how they can be detected, and what
can be done to prevent or treat them.

A Lecture by David Katz, M.D.
Dr. David Katz, Associate Professor at the Yale School of Public Health,
will outline his healthy eating program at a free public meeting of
the Connecticut Holistic Health Association at the New Haven Free Public
Library at 6:30 on Wednesday, February 11th.
According to Dr. Katz, we can stop dieting and
lead longer, healthier lives by developing healthier eating habits.
The key to learning how
to eat is to realize how powerfully our past predisposes us to overeating.
Dr. Katz says that human beings as a species developed in a world
where getting enough to eat was always a challenge. As a result of
this biological fact, we just aren’t able to cope with our tantalizing
rich food world.
Once we recognize the biological forces pushing
us to eat too much of the wrong foods, we can follow Dr. Katz’s
program which, in a sense, fools our bodies into feeling full most
of the time. Here
are a few of his tips: eat healthy snacks to fight cravings, limit
the different flavors in your meals, watch out for salty and sugary
commercial snacks and finally educate your taste buds gradually by
changing the way you cook.
Dr. Katz has recently published a book called The
Way to Eat in which
he outlines his approach to healthy eating. Dr. Katz is a weekly columnist
on health issues for several newspapers including the New Haven Register.

You'd be Surprised! A lecture by Pat Barry, PhD,

What do we do with cellular memories? Is there a way to safely work with them?
Regardless of your background, you will find this information

emotion is at the heart of many physical and mental ailments.

all emotional memories, both good and bad, into layers of emotions in the body.
Each emotion has its own unique color and its own specific physical effects.
If you’d like to participate, you’ll have an opportunity
during this evening program to learn a new tool you can use quickly and easily
in seconds to relieve stress and calm your body.

The goal of the work is to provoke a state of wellness
in the viewer; be it patient, medical staff, or guests. "Healing
Walls", simply means that the beauty of the mural work
that Rea creates in medical facilities or elsewhere,
results in an environmental contribution to a healing
state of consciousness for patients and medical staff
alike. Beauty makes one feel better and therefore compliments
medical treatments.
