The Disciplines We Teach

Nutrition

Prerequisite: A background in biology, physiology or biochemistry
Nutritional therapy is the heart of our practice.  This is what we do most and do best.  It also is the most asked for discipline and takes the most skill.  An open mind and willingness to learn new ideas and techniques would be most beneficial to your assimilation of this art and science. 

We believe

• in biochemical individuality
• that not enough may help and too much harms
• that disease is a systemic constitutional breakdown which often require local constitutional remedies
• that preventative strategies prevents medicinal potions
• that all organic processes are controlled by electromagnetic oscillations and are super-ordinate to biochemistry
• that meals and their ingredients are important enough to be announced by the cook(s)
• that all foods should be harmless and cause minimal disorder in physiological function; that its action should be non-specific increasing resistance to a wide range of potentially harmful influences and that all food should possess a normalizing action whether the harmful influences are of a excessive or deficient nature
• that modern civilization has been on a chelation diet by systematically refining foods and creating an acid condition in the human frame
• that health comes from the farm not the pharmacy
• no healing occurs without a corresponding awareness
• that ignorance is vehemently protected by the sincerest emotionalism
• that the human body is viewed by most doctors as a single design or replicable clone from the same mold so that if 2 or more persons respond to a given therapy a universal panacea is born
• that a condition is dubbed subclinical when the doctor in charge is unable to recognize a deficiency from a disorder; we do not believe in second opinions – it is much more revealing to get two first opinions
• most conditions are not diseases at all but the incredible intellectual adaptation of a precise, reactive body
• nature can only be conquered by obeying Her.

“nutrition is the act or process of nourishing or nurturing.  It includes all of the various environmental forces which, combined, act on an organism and further its existence; that is, move it in the direction of aliveness.  Notice that there are three key elements in this definition.  The first is that there are many and varied forces in the environment acting on the organism.  The second is that they act in combination and third is that they further its existence and aliveness."

Color Therapy

“At the moment of crossing the border into man’s interior, we find a metamorphosis of light. This means that man does not only transform the common, ponderable processes of external Nature within himself but also the imponderable element – light itself. He changes it into something different” – Rudolph Steiner.

Sunlight, along with food, water, air, sound, smell, and touch constitutes one of the basic requirements of life. Without the full spectrum of our daily dose of sunlight - life would soon wither away.
Light is therefore a nutrient as real as anything we eat. We see this in every phase of growth and reproduction. In fact, light is the fundamental activity in which existence has its ground. By the interacting of different rays light can produce particles and all the diverse structure of matter. After all, matter is a condensation of light into patterns: matter is frozen light. Light and color contain the matrix of what we attempt to eat when we chew chlorophyll: and in fact, are essential as a catalyst for the absorption and assimilation of these solid light particles. Food, especially the properties of the mineral kingdom, act as a prism - dividing light into its many colors in the plant and animal kingdoms. Scientists know that each natural element of the Periodic Table gives of its own and unique characteristic color wave. The prevailing color wave of Hydrogen is red, for example and that of Oxygen is blue. Sunlight, as perceived by the human body. is split into the prismatic colors. Light is food. And it is also the safest, simplest and most accurate therapeutic measure ever developed - not to mention enjoyable! (read more)

Floatation Therapy

GRASP Questionnaires (assessments)

In addition to many laboratory tests and a careful, precise history – we also have several sophisticated questionnaires that, with a little mathematical skill, can be used to assess and reveal traits, complexes, deficiencies, excesses and general patterns.  While the mechanical aspects of this test are learned easily - the interpretation of its results are never-ending.

Based upon a single subjective questionnaire GRASP shows how (alternative and or holistic) practitioners can easily pinpoint the client's basic problem without the use of expensive diagnostic equipment or time-consuming interviews. Once learned, this 10 minute technique (the worksheet can be done by a secretary or receptionist) will not only prove the past influences that initiated the present compensating circumstances but the exact pathway the psycho-physiology HAD to take in order to arrive at the core (of the problem). Now you can save time and surprise your clients by asking intelligent and "to the point" questions that shows you've done the research. With a standard chem screen and CBC it is a dynamite and unbeatable combination tailoring their treatment to the exact holistic individual need in restoring equilibrium. (read more)

Herbology

Herbology is the science and art of using medicinal “weeds” for killing, healing and nutrition.  They have been used as a source of whole foods in nourishment, balancing and regeneration for thousands of years and by many different cultures.  The herbs are easily divided into three major components: poisonous, medicinal and food.  The Chinese have had the most experience in using combinations of these three categories and have developed an entire set of diagnostic criteria for their use.  We believe that both the poisonous and the medicinal herbs are akin to drugs and therefore are averse to using them.  The food herbs however, have great healing capacity and are even used for repairing mutant DNA.  This is what we teach and what you can expect to learn here.

Radiantouch Therapy (Bodywork)

This rarely seen bodywork, first taught in India many hundreds of years ago by teachers who wanted to prolong and save the lives of mothers who had just experienced a difficult childbirth is now almost exclusively taught here at HIC.  The 12 sessions are facilitated by Dr. Van Beveren who was taught in India over a period of several years and certified here in the USA.
 Of all the senses (smelling, seeing, gravity, chemical, - some 32 in all) touch is THE most neglected nutrient in the repertoire of the orthodox practitioner. Though its importance is accentuated by, the fact that infants die when not constantly, properly stimulated by a loving touch - its significance is seldom remembered in adulthood...and rarely in any institution whose survival depends on people being dis-at-ease.
