Reversing Heart Disease The Easy Way
Wholistic Treatement for Arteriosclerosis
Suggested Donation: $10
This presentation outlines the world’s very best treatment for atherosclerosis (aka hardening of the arteries via plaque deposits). It doesn’t involve drugs or surgery, primarily requires commonly available nutritional supplements and usually substantially improves the patient’s condition inside of a month. This therapy has been around for 50 years, has been effective in tens of thousands of cases, and has been championed by Linus Pauling, who was a two-time recipient of the Nobel Prize. The supplements usually cost less than $80 per month and the major side-effect is that you become more resistant to colds and flu.
This presentation covers
Why high cholesterol does NOT cause heart disease
What is the real cause of heart disease
The supplements that can reverse heart disease will be discussed
The interactions between common heart-disease drugs and these
nutritional supplements are discussed
Why statins (Lipitor, Zocor, Mevacor, etc) are dangerous drugs
The pleasant side effects of treating heart disease nutritionally
Daniel Cobb is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine practicing at the Integrative Holistic Healing Center in Santa Fe.

He has taken the Gerson Cancer Institute levels I and II training and has taken over 20 Gerson referrals.

Many seemingly unrelated symptoms are related. Learn to recognize and release old trauma.
An MD since 1985, Hennie Fitzpatrick has been practicing Biological Medicine since 2000 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She holds the position of Medical Director for the non-profit corporation Life Harmonies Institute, a living sustainable business system dedicated to human wellness, and the educational, economic and ecological integration of the northern New Mexico communities. In addition Dr Fitzpatrick is involved with Health Care Without Harm, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Bioneers, Society for Teachers of Family Medicine, Human Rights Campaign and Safe Harbor. She is committed to combining holistic medicine, naturo-pathic treatments and biological dentistry to restore each of us to vibrant good health. Her focus is on understanding complex interactions between internal and external environments and how that relates to your personal situation.
Henni’s presentations show how biological medicine treats individuals, not diseases. She emphasizes how symptoms are messages from the body which are asking for attention. Exploring these symptoms thoroughly is the key to restoring health. Investigating the symptoms of where-you-are-now is like evaluating the puzzle of your life so you can bring it into balance. As you do this, the symptoms will disappear as your body regenerates.
She will show how aging and dis-ease has a direct correlation to stored toxicity and the body’s inability to digest and absorb nutrients. Your body needs to be clear to receive food energy. Henni wants each 1 ½ hour class to become a community conversation where all your questions are addressed. Handouts will be provided.

Mother's Medicine Circles
A Mother’s Medicine Bag
Harmony West
Class Price: $12
Circles are powerful vehicles for personal growth. Mother’s Medicine Circles are loving, healing and spiritual gatherings; a place for mothers to come together for nurturing.
In our Mother’s Medicine Circles, we consciously leave social chatter, busyness, and ordinary reality at the door to focus on the inner world of mothering. Our circle is centered with an altar. This sacred mesa, which represents Spirit, anchors our space as a container for healing, growth, and connection. Our time together is woven around a theme intended to tap into the greater potential of our group. With hearts open, our collective wisdom inspires us and we feel revitalized as we return to our families and our community.
How many times did your mother tell you to TAKE your medicine to get well? Maybe we ought to consider that a mother needs to BE the medicine she wants her child to ingest. Kindness, empathy, compassion and presence are a few of the elixirs that pour from the heart of a mother. Please join us as we explore and create a symbolic, ever-evolving Mother’s Medicine Bag.
Native teachings tell us that there is nothing more powerful on Earth than a circle of decided women because the feminine is the universal force through which all creation manifests. (1) Mothering is a daily spiritual practice. Now is a powerful time to gather in Mother’s Medicine Circles to contemplate and celebrate the blessings of motherhood. Please join us!
