GAITHERSBURG, Md., Dec. 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alternatives to Western medicine are gaining acceptance by more people in today's culturally aware society. Those interested in integrating the wonders of science and holistic healing into their lifestyle can find valuable information in Energy -- the Essence of Environmental Health (now available through AuthorHouse), by Natalie Golos and Alan R. Vinitsky, M.D.
Energy -- the Essence of Environmental Health focuses on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), a network of the body that is "often overlooked by health care practitioners." Golos and Vinitsky explain, "The ANS silently regulates all bodily functions. Symptoms of illness (are) often present when the ANS attempts to correct itself."
Injecting humor into straightforward medical insight, Golos and Vinitsky guide readers through their innovative Accordion Reserve(c), a model which represents the fluctuating effects of the ANS. "Listen to your erratic vibrational rhythms!" the authors advise. "That's your ANS chattering." This musical analogy teaches one to pay attention to the body and learn what to do in response. The Accordion Reserve(c) model provides many benefits to readers. It incorporates both the science and spirituality of healing as it demonstrates the overlap of varying healing systems from around the world. It also encourages the awareness of environmental and energy factors in healing. Ultimately, write the authors, "(this model) defines optimal health."
Golos and Vinitsky have pioneered novel methods for familiar techniques such as breathing, meditation and behavior modification. They also detail how to create an oasis of clean air, food and water in an increasingly polluted environment. All of these exercises and practices work together to balance the ANS.
An important guide to overall well-being, Energy -- the Essence of Environmental Health can benefit anyone with the desire to take charge of their health, as well as the health of others and the environment.
Golos has written six books, notably the internationally acclaimed Coping with Your Allergies, If It's Tuesday, it must be Chicken, and Success in the Clean Bedroom. In addition to teaching English, she studied bioenergy therapies for nine years and logged 2,000 hours of continuing medical education in various innovative fields.
Vinitsky is a successful primary care physician who broadened his interests in environmental medicine. He received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania and completed residencies in Syracuse, N.Y., and Philadelphia. Self-trained as a marathon runner, Vinitsky gained valuable expertise by listening to his own body.
