The ELAN Philosophy is quite simple: nutrition is what keeps you healthy and can also cure almost any illness; lack of proper nutrition will make you sick. You can die simply by eating improperly. Living on burgers, fries, pizza, and carbonated drinks will lead to obesity, diabetes, coronary obstruction, stroke, and who knows what all. Proper diet can give you many healthy, productive years. All it takes is a change in attitude and a little education as to what is good and what is bad. You can eat healthy and still enjoy your food.
The sad truth is that mainstream medicine doesn't address nutrition, they use artificial chemical pills and surgery to "fix" anything that may be wrong with you. The fact is that most illness are caused by a nutritional deficiency of some kind and if that deficiency is supplemented, the disease will go away.
Of course, the FDA and AMA would have you believe that dietary supplements are "bad" for you and because they can't regulate them, they could not guarantee their safety for you to take. Well, right here in our Articles section you will find an article that says that a report before a Congressional Committee in 2007 indicated that there were NO deaths attributable to dietary supplements in 2005!! Do you think there would ever be a year that at least 100,000 people didn't die due to drugs approved by the FDA??? The reality is that over 400,000 people, more than are killed in car wrecks, die of heart attacks or cancer each year, die as a result of some medical mistake, drug reaction, drug errors, hospital errors, and other medical misfortune.
With all the people that take dietary supplements in this country, NOT A SINGLE PERSON died as a result of taking one. That should be a glowing testimony for the safety of natural medicine. Of course, the FDA and AMA won't agree with that because if they did, they would, virtually, be out of business. Their bottom line is $$$$$ The health and wellbeing of their patients isn't their primary concern.
At ELAN, wellness is our primary concern and bottom line. We achieve this through intense programs of diet, supplementation, life style changes, detoxification practices, exercise, meditation, prayer, laying of of hands, and any other possible method that can aid in regaining and/or maintaining good health.
We use no forms of invasive therapies; everything is done at your pace and as you want. Dr. Lynda will never tell you what you should or should not do, nor will she ever tell you not to go to the doctor or to stop taking medications. She will educate you on what she knows about natural therapies for whatever your problem may be and what your options are in that area. She will outline and explain any natural program she feels may benefit you, however, ALL decisions regarding your health path will be totally and completely up to you. Dr. Lynda will guide you through any path you choose.
The body is a unique organism that God made to operate on certain nutritional components. ALL these components are found in nature. They come from plants, animals and water. God gave us the tools to keep our bodies healthy when he put us here and he intended that we use them wisely to keep our bodies healthy. He did not make our bodies to take synthetic chemicals and substances into them.
Most drugs only mask symptoms, they do not heal anything. In fact, in many cases, the fact that they mask symptoms means that the underlying illness or malady will never be able to be cured simply because it is being masked.
Pain is a warning sign that something is wrong. If you take pain killers, then you are ignoring God's warning signs. If you will notice, if a something a child is doing hurts, he stops doing it. Adults aren't that smart. We just take a pill or a shot to deaden the pain and go on. That is how athletes and others become incapacitated, because they do not listen to their bodies, as God intended, and quit doing what is causing the pain or find the cause of the pain and eliminate it.
Dr. Lynda works very closely with her clients to find every natural avenue possible for them. She has other practitioners with whom she confers on cases that she feels she may not be fully versed on. She is always looking for a newer and better way to help her clients.
She also follows the principals of the natural/naturopathic community:
- First, do no harm.
- Utilize the healing power of nature.
- Identify and treat the cause.
- Treat the whole person.
- Prevention is the best cure.
- Establish health & wellness.
- Physician as teacher.
Dr. Lynda doesn't like to see anyone or anything suffer, therefore, she will help animals as well as people. She will work with financial programs for those who have difficulty with the costs, although Dr. Lynda charges very little for her services. She feels that she has been led to this work by God and that she must do it for His glory.
