Doctors' Medical Library

It is my privilege to participate in the transformation of medicine which
is now underway. The doctors who are participating in this transformation
are some of the most dedicated people I could ever hope to know. I am
lucky to be able to count them as colleagues. This web site network is
designed to introduce you to the way these doctors think of illness and
health, to allow you to understand the pressures they are under to conform,
and the courage they have to remain true to the welfare of their patients.
It is also a tool to allow you to locate the kind of doctor who can help
you achieve the health you deserve. If your health and well-being depended
on only one thing, that one thing would be your continuing education into
matters of health. The Doctors' Medical Library is a network of over 225
integrated web sites containing enough information to constitute a complete
course of study in natural medicine. I encourage you to use it to fully
educate yourself. Ron Kennedy, M.D.

Osteopathy is a system of health care founded by Andrew
Taylor Still (1828 - 1917) and is based on the theory that the body is
capable of making its own remedies against disease and other toxic conditions
when in normal structural relationship and has favourable environmental
conditions and adequate nutrition. It utilises generally accepted physical,
pharmacological and surgical methods of diagnosis, while placing strong
emphasis on the importance of body mechanics and manipulative methods
to detect and correct faulty structure and function.

Dr.
Doris Rapp
author NY Times best selling book, "Is This Your Child's
World" and pediatrician. "I believe with all my heart
that far too many individuals cannot afford proper medical care or drugs
so we must meet that challenge and educate everyone so they can learn
more about medicine and help to care for themselves. My aim is to make
the very best decisions that I can in relation to all aspects of each
child's total well being. It is rarely just a child who needs treatment;
it is a family. I therefore sincerely try to help all the other family
members if that is indicated and possible while I am caring for the
one child. Our challenge for physicians is to find fast, easy, safe,
effective and inexpensive ways to heal. I will spend the time that is
needed and will not let the insurance companies dictate how long I can
spend with a patient, what I can and cannot do, or what I can charge.
I believe that absolutely nothing is as rewarding as: turning children's
lives around so they are able to reach their full potential, saving
a marriage because a child's unacceptable or inappropriate behavior
or because of undue family stresses which arise when illnesses are only
treated with drugs."
