At the Health Lyceum, (from the Greek, meaning "school"; Aristotle established "The Lyceum" around 335 BC in Athens, where it remained one of the great centers of learning for centuries,) we recognize that our bodies are self-cleansing, self-healing, and self-defending. We also understand that "Health Care is Self Care"; that true vitality and well-being are developed by living in accordance with our inherent needs, by taking good care of ourselves!
The primary focus of our teaching is nutritional; reviewing the dietary landscape in the USA today, one can quickly become confused and concerned. We strive to share tested and true information regarding how to best provide 'mega' nutrition to the human organism and to navigate through the maze of 'propaganda' that constantly bombards us . Eating health-promoting food is essential, but if our bodies can't absorb the nutrients we ingest, it is all for naught. Therefore, another primary goal of the Health Lyceum is to assist clients to evaluate their own digestive capabilities, and to guide them in correcting any perceived mal-functioning.
In an effort to insure the best overall outcome, we use certain tools to help our bodies maintain homeostasis; that condition of physiologic stability and balance they were created to sustain, which today fewer and fewer people manifest. We may employ the use of colon hydrotherapy to facilitate the body's cleansing mechanisms. We put great emphasis on the the importance of ingesting chlorophyll-rich foods on a daily basis, especially in the form of "Green Smoothies", all-natural blends made of produce found in any grocery store.
We know that the body acts in its own
best interest. For example, when you cut
yourself, you bleed, a scab forms, then falls off, and underneath is new skin to replace the damaged. This whole process is part of the homeostatic mechanism, and doesn't stop with cuts and broken bones, but can be relied upon to heal many common maladies, as long as we don't
thwart its efforts; this is one of the biggest health problems we face as a society- we have been taught to 'remedy' all 'symptoms' that the body presents. We urge all to shed this mindset and embrace the possibility that 'symptoms' are the body's effort to tell us something is 'wrong', and the best way for us to assist the body to do what it knows how to do well, (heal itself), is to get out of the way ! One of the most recurring presentations we see is the client who is bloated, tired, constipated and craving carbohydrates. Because today in the USA, we have a 'Silent Epidemic' of "Dysbiosis", (commonly manifested as "Candidiasis",) we routinely screen everyone through questionnaire, to rule out the likelihood of that being the underlying issue.
Our goal at the Health Lyceum is to help to set people free from 'systems', and to teach all how to be their own best 'health care providers.'
