Chronic pain is a debilitating symptom that affects our mind, body, and inner well-being and often leads to the prescription of opioids which are powerful pain-reducing medications that include oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone, and many more. Unfortunately, once on...

I’ve spent quite a while now discussing the symptom as a bodily function. Now I’d like us to look at the emotions as symptoms. Given that at least one-tenth of the North American population is taking some form of anti-psychotic medication, what we perceive to be the...

So glad you ended up here. Most people wait to deal with the consequences of their inaction. They wait to be sick, to be in pain, to suffer from all kinds of chronic conditions. And thank Godness, your body is smarter than you think- because of course, it can deal...

Let me ask you a question: are we really in a world in which ‘superbugs’ are out to eradicate the human race? Or are we really in a world in which we need to learn how to manage and live alongside stressors, even if we believe them to be bacteria instead of our own...

In my last post I told the terrible story of how I was cut off (from a socialized health care system which I support with my taxes, despite my disapproval of so many of its methods) from the option of monitoring results from of the treatment for my stage 4 cancer that...

I was faced with the conflicting views toward disease and its treatment discussed in the last few posts. After refusing a prescribed hysterectomy at an Ontario Oncology ward, to treat my Stage 4 cancer, I was dismissed from the hospital. Both the nurse and I, were in...

In the last couple posts I’ve been examining the processes of endogenous cell decay as an alternative to the mainstream paradigm of the Germ Theory of Disease. We’ve seen how certain internal processes can generate the cell decay that gives rise to invasion of...

In my last post we examined how yeast, fungus and mold contributed to susceptibility to illness through processes that starved tissue of oxygen. Among the by-products of the process are uric acid and acetaldehyde. The amount of uric acid and acetaldehyde produced by...

We left off in the last post asking the question, if the Germ Theory of Disease was wrong, and germs did not cause disease, but were rather a response to illness, then what exactly were these bacteria doing? To answer that question, we have to set it into the larger...

People have asked me why Trademark a business name. Provided you have the url for the name, there is a degree of security that your name and brand will allow you to stay in business. If you don’t own the .com, it is always possible that traffic intended to go to you...

Everyone talks about finding one’s life purpose, but not many people know what it is. As a child, it’s easy to dream big dreams. You can be an astronaut, a pirate or a mermaid. Children are unafraid even of dreaming what grown-ups would consider dreams that are “too...

Though we have been trained to believe that the mind governs everything, mindfulness cannot be embodied if people are disconnected from their bodies. We are wired for survival and those of us who have experienced stresses, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety need another way to...

The BowenFirst™Technique is a body manipulation therapy that uses very gentle pressure to stimulate the brain to reboot the body. Oftentimes, the most common approaches to stress management just don’t work and when they do, they don’t have long lasting results for the...

I am Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND and I started Bowen College because I felt it was important to share an approach to healing that could help engage patients and clients in their own health. Once you address people’s pain they are then ready to address all of their health...

I finished my last post with the provocative claim that non-war on symptoms healthcare approaches were not only unfunded and sabotaged, but actually outlawed. If you suspect I’ve exaggerating, consider the case of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski over the last 30 years. His...

In my last post I reflected on the short-sighted predilection to remove the gallbladder of patients with chronic gall stone problems. As I pointed, though, this was not the end, but the beginning of a treadmill of new problems. Certainly those symptoms too can be...

In recent posts I’ve been discussing fallout from the misguided war on symptoms approach to health care and – in the last post – specific problems related to cancer treatment were raised. Let’s look more closely at this situation. Despite all the effort and resources...
