Welcome to Triad of Health

Success with patient care is accomplished by holistically understanding how the body functions and understanding the TRIAD OF HEALTH: chemical, structural and emotional. The triad of health was initially described by D.D. Palmer (the founder of chiropractic) and then later described in great detail by Dr. George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Goodheart is 85 years old today and still practices in Detroit, Michigan at the time that this web site is being written. Dr. Goodheart developed the most amazing scientific system of healthcare in the world today: Applied Kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology is now used by numerous healthcare professions in nearly every industrialized nation. Applied Kinesiology takes into account not just the patient’s musculoskeletal system (structure), but also their diet (biochemistry) and emotional state. Other important health risks which are considered by Applied Kinesiologists are environmental toxins and pollutants.

Each side of the triad of health affects the other two sides. Therefore, to take a magnifying glass and focus on one side only will never get resolution to a chronic health concern. This is why many people never seem to lose weight and keep the weight off when they go on a diet. This is also why many people never seem to get better after having seen a psychiatrist for many years. This is also why so many people often suffer years later after fracturing a bone or having a surgery. The reason why these things happen is because each of these professions only look at one side of the triad of health: orthopedic surgery – structure, psychiatry – emotions, and nutritionists/dietitions – nutrition. These professions never even stop to consider their colleagues in neighboring professions. Only in recent years has psychoneuroimmunology and similar fields come about which explore the roles, goals and results of not just their own profession but neighboring professions. Applied Kinesiology and chiropractic is light years ahead of its time in this respect. Applied Kinesiology utilizes the concept of consiliance – the coming together of knowledge as described by Edward O. Wilson.

The Highest Good is to Find the Cause

Holistic Treatment can Heal the Root Causes of Illness, Allergy, and Injury
Because an holistic approach to health care goes beyond simply treating symptoms, but rather, seeks to find the origins of ailments, true healing occurs on a deep and permanent level.
By providing the most advanced holistic therapies currently available we are able to bring you to a place of infinite peace, clarity and health. Each of our holistic therapies are specific and vary greatly from patient to patient. No two patients are ever given the same therapy or put on the same protocol because no two patients are the same. The reason for this is because each person has a different metabolism and different health needs. At Lighthouse Wellness Center we believe that it is important to consider the whole person from a physical, nutritional and emotional perspective. It is in reference to this core belief system that we call ourselves “holistic” doctors.

If necessary we will refer out for X-rays.

Herbs & Homeopathy
Herbs have been used for more than 5000 years to treat illness, allergies, and injuries. This ancient tradition works in unison with the body’s innate healing abilities without the serious side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Homeopathy has evolved over the last 100 years and is sometimes referred to as “energy medicine”. Homeopathy is the safest medicinal therapy known. There are no known side effects.

 

Nutrition
Holistic health care does not just consider what foods a person is eating, but what foods they are eating, digesting and absorbing as well as their process of elimination. It is important to ascertain what nutrients are being utilized at the cellular level. Based on specific diagnostic techniques, nutritional recommendations can be made to support your glands, organs, emotional well being, sleep, etc. Because everybody has different health concerns, everyone has different dietary needs and considerations, and we prescribe individual programs.

Professional Applied Kinesiology and Acupressure
Professional Applied Kinesiology is the most advanced diagnostic and treatment system of healthcare which includes licensed health professionals from all fields including medical doctors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, homeopaths, chiropractors, etc. It is an open ended field of study. Combining Professional Applied Kinesiology with chiropractic works miracles. Acupressure, a part of Professional Applied Kinesiology, balances
the subtle energies of the body. Acupressure is a well established treatment which is 10,000 years old.
