Tradition Meets the New Age at Deerfield, Illinois’ Center for Holistic Medicine
The problem with most holistic practitioners, like with most of the youth today, is a lack of respect for tradition. The Center for Holistic Medicine in Deerfield, Illinois could teach a valuable lesson to the both of them. Rebels and acupuncturists, to be truly effective you must embrace and master tradition before questioning it.
The Executive Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine, Dr. Jerry P. Gore, is an M.D. who practices general medicine and psychiatry using holistic as well as traditional methods. Dr. Gore’s experience makes him a leader by example, indeed the very best kind, properly trained to direct a facility that integrates modern medicine, natural medicine, and wellness all under one roof.
I suffered from a most debilitating form of Tinnitus, a ringing in my ears, before finding the center. I used to have to buy a bottle of Lidocaine a week from the counter at Walgreen’s. The ringing would cease for a while, but I began to form a dependence on the drug and its benefits quickly dwindled.
The specialists at the Center for Holistic Medicine realize the folly of simply treating the symptoms. After a thorough evaluation they outlined a treatment plan for me. Like a traditional medical center, they informed me of the medically documented relationship between arteriosclerosis and tinnitus, and gave me vitamins and dietary suggestions. Unlike a traditional medical center, they taught me guided imagery, visualization, and deep breathing techniques, and recommended that I rub warm sesame oil twice a day on my mastoid bone behind my ear.
I followed their instructions. Within two weeks the ringing in my ear occurred much more seldom and I became less dependent on the Lidocaine. Without that constant ringing and with a newfound sense of self-directed health and well-being, today I too have valuable things to say to Deerfield’s youth, standing in a place of inner wisdom and truth.
