The Five “Obstacles to Cure”: How to Address the Most Common Challenges to Optimal Health
By Louisa L. Williams, MS, DC, ND
If you never stop searching for what is truly authentic and real in your life, at some point you will arrive at the truth. It may feel like an uphill battle at times— and it is never, ever a simple and straight course—but if you persevere, you eventually will reach a level of understanding that can be defined as wisdom.
The same thing can occur in clinical practice. In over thirty years in practice as a holistic physician, I have tested many techniques and diagnostic assessments, separating out what is really important and worthwhile from what is not. I have thrown away thousands of supple- ments and remedies that did not hold up clinically and energetically on patients. Through this process, I have identified methods and treatments that have stood the test of time and are the most effective and curative for my patients. In this article, I cover the five most significant obstacles to achieving optimal health—heavy metals, toxic chemicals, toxic foods, toxic microbes and miasmic tendencies—and describe how to address them most effectively.
