Frank and fearless, Dr. Worden is a passionate advocate for truth in medicine.  In this regular slot she will take on the role of our eyes and ears, to help us carve a pathway through the minefield of information (and disinformation) about our health, our bodies, and our rights, bringing us everything we need to know to safeguard our own and our loved one’s health.

The Key to All Your Health Issues Lies in Hearing What Your Body, Mind and Spirit are Trying to Say (ENCORE)

Dr. Tom Ritchie

Health issues don’t just afflict us out of the blue… in most instances they arise as a result of many years of ignoring the messages our bodies are trying to convey.  The fact is, our bodies, minds and spirits, are speaking to us every single minute of every day.  But few of us know how to listen to or interpret what they are trying to say.

According to this weeks, guest, Dr. Tom Ritchie, about two thousand years ago western medicine broke with the philosophy that we exist in three parts: body; mind and spirit. The spirit, intuitive portion was vainly ignored or awkwardly included in the mind category. This decision alone accounts for the impotence in modern western medicine.

Modern medicine is a culture of fear, with the relentless message from the scientific community always driving home the message that the universe is a chaotic and dangerous place.  We are inundated with facts and statistics telling us we are so poorly designed that it is astounding that the human race has survived without modern drugs and technology? And that if we want to stay healthy and alive for as long as possible, we need to put our bodies, lives, and power in the hands of a system that has become increasingly controlled by those with a vested interest in treating illness, rather than promoting wellness.

In Dr. Ritchie’s experience, about two-thirds of his patients show up convinced their problem is either a physical or mental problem. Once a holistic investigation is performed, however, it becomes evident that the true root of the problem is a spiritual imbalance.  It is the spiritual issue that is triggering the patient’s symptoms in the physical and mental domain.  Without the proper diagnosis it is impossible to correct the problem.  Pretending we can treat a spiritual problem with a physical tool is like trying to hammer a nail with a screwdriver.

In this show, Dr. Ritchie discusses how we can learn to expand the limited dualistic western approach to diagnosis and treatment, become comfortable in discerning the root source of our imbalances, and break from the cycle of fear.  And in so doing, take back our power, regain greater clarity and control of our health and our life, and rediscover our ability to be a more confident and compassionate choice maker in all aspects of our life.

Tom Ritchie, M.D., has over thirty years of clinical experience in Western and Alternative medicine.  His initial twenty years of training and practice was in anesthesia and pain management.  Being intimately aware of the limitations of Western medicine, in 1995, he undertook extensive training in a wide variety of alternative practice methods: acupuncture; herbology; energy medicine; nutrition and life style balancing.  He continues to explore new styles and approaches to healing as a lifelong passion.  Ranging from Taoism to quantum theory his primary interest is learning how these esoteric philosophies can be put to practical use in his day-to-day practice.

His early clinical experiences allowed him to understand how modern western medicine has lost the most important tool for healing.  The missing instrument is compassion, the true healing energy of the universe.  By creating an atmosphere of calm trust he is able to help his patients regain their hope.  Without the distortion of fear-based medicine that exists in our society today, they can then rediscover the clarity needed to chart the optimal path to recovery.  In his practice, Dr. Ritchie not only explores all factors needed for regaining better harmony in his patients’ physical, mental, emotional or spiritual lives are explored, but also draws on his broad background of training to tailor an approach that meets each individual patient’s needs.
