reputation."
He cites the example of a six-year-old girl from Central Washington
who was afflicted with serious dairy allergies. A single swig of milk or
a bite of any dairy product triggered illness and vomiting. But after
one allergy treatment, Carnie says the girl was freed from her problem.
Friends of the youngster have since driven to the clinic for the unique
help it offers.
MANY SUCCESS STORIES
Another success story that the CEO recalls deals with the Spokane
woman who arrived at the Center with high blood pressure, asthma, food
allergies, and a witch's brew of some 20 medications. Eight weeks later
after only 2 Center visits a week, natural supplements had her blood
pressure under control. The asthma and allergies were gone, and she was
freed of her bond with the pharmacy. There was a bonus. The woman shed
30 pounds, and her renewed level of wellness meant initiation of an
exercise regimen. She also developed a desire for healthier foods.
Patients aren't the only ones calling the Healing Arts Center. Health
professionals from all over the country have been calling for
information about starting similar clinics. Two similar clinics want to
form an alliance that will document the results and cost effectiveness
of this alternative approach to healing. The study will be presented to
insurance companies and is intended to offer concrete evidence that the
various approaches used by the Healing Arts Center deserve expanded
insurance support. However, most insurance companies are covering most
services provided at the Center, Carnie added.
Beyond the on-site use of technology, patients will find a myriad of
care offerings at the Healing Arts Center. Among them: Osteopathy,
Family Practice Integrative medicinal consultation, Naturopathy, allergy
elimination, EEG Biofeedback, a team of trained nurses, massage therapy,
traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbs), Photo
Light Therapy, Counseling, classes and workshops. The Medicine Tree
(nutritional pharmacy that offers supplements, healing herbs,
homeopathic remedies, aromatherapy supplies, books, tapes, and other
items not generally offered in health food stores).
The Healing Arts Center is associated with over 27 different
insurance carriers. Most insurance cover most services. The Center is
exploring grants to help the low income patients.
Many of the healing methods used at the Center are supported by
thousands of years of success, but accessing that healing potential is
hampered unless there is a timely and accurate diagnosis.
