Natural Healing Recognizes
The Body's Unique Ability
To Heal Under Proper Conditions

The Human Body Is Remarkable . . .

Natural healing is a marvel. If your child cuts or bruises himself, his body immediately goes into action to heal the affected area. (Boys seem to have more trauma than girls, so we'll use the masculine pronoun.)

If his body failed to renew or heal itself, he would die; thus, his life is totally dependent on the ability of his body to heal.

What gets in the way of natural healing?

Physical Trauma Can Impair Healing

Your child may have gone through a difficult birth. Or he may have fallen off a swing, bumped his head on the edge of a table, or injured himself in the rough and tumble of play. Physical trauma like this can cause restriction or tightness in the muscles and fascia, impairing the ability of your child's body to function and heal.

The effects of this trauma may result in chronic conditions such as headache, earache, asthma, hyperactivity, learning disorders, eye, sinus, and allergy conditions, throat ailments, neck and shoulder conditions, and scoliosis (curvature of the spine).

Your child's body may be valiantly trying to correct itself. Some areas may be so tight, however, that they cannot heal without being loosened by physical manipulation.

Without therapeutic assistance your child's body may struggle for a lifetime.

What about drugs and surgery? Can they help?

Drugs and surgery, commonly prescribed for these ailments, can make your child feel better in the short term but . . .

There Are Drawbacks To
Medication and Surgery

They are not designed to correct these chronic conditions and produce health. (The following information comes from chapter 3 of Healing Your Child.)

In some instances of acute illness medicine or surgery is necessary for your child; for example, in the case of a life-threatening asthma attack or appendicitis.

For chronic illnesses, however, pediatric care can rely too heavily on medicine and surgery that may only ease your child's symptoms in the short term. An unwanted side effect of all drugs is toxicity in your child's body. Surgery also has its own potential dangers and side effects.

The distinct power of natural therapy is that it can help your child's body address the source of the problem. His body can then heal itself over time lessening or eliminating the need for surgery or continued use of drugs.

The Option For Natural Healing
Is Not New . . .

Most parents are not aware of this option, but it goes back to the1840s when Dr. Sylvester Graham and other physicians espoused natural living principles.

More recently . . .
  • In the 1980s Marilyn and Harvey Diamond sold over 11 million copies of books, including Fit for Life, which updated dietary principles.
  • In the 1990s Dr. Neal Barnard wrote Food For Life describing the new four food groups as a key to our health.
  • In Reversing Heart Disease Dr. Dean Ornish advocated correct diet to improve certain cardiovascular conditions, the number one cause of death in America today.

Because the proponents of natural therapy focused on principles that resulted in health, all these teachings remain applicable and relevant today.

And now . . .

Dr. Gillespie's own arduous and dedicated personal quest for health led him to natural healing for improving or correcting chronic illnesses in children.

"Manipulative Therapy Clearly Had A Positive Effect On My Patients"

"After my introduction to natural living," Dr. Gillespie said, "I felt that natural care offered the best solution for my patients." He continues in chapter 3 of Healing Your Child:

  • After the first therapy session, for example, many children with hyperactivity experienced a significant change. Parents and family members witnessed calmer youngsters.
  • Children who suffered from chronic earaches soon became well and did not require further medication or ear tube surgery.
  • Children who had difficulty learning improved their grades dramatically. Failing students improved to A and B grades.

One child came to me with a list of symptoms that included asthma.

On completing treatment his mother declared that all of the symptoms had dissipated, even the asthma. I initially thought that this was a fluke or isolated occurrence; however, this same positive result occurred with the next four children with asthma that I treated.

These outcomes were significant because all of the conditions mentioned here were considered incurable in the medical world.

As a final scientific confirmation:

When parents returned children to medical doctors for reevaluation, they knew that the treatment had been successful when the doctors told them that all the signs of the original conditions were gone.

The Therapies Detailed In Healing
Your Child
Represent An Option For
You And Your Child

I am not presenting a quick fix cure for your child -- natural healing requires:

- time,
- commitment,
- discipline,
- therapy, and
- an openness to change.

This work does not attempt to undermine the traditional medical community but rather expands the spectrum of possibilities available to you.

Right now your child's serious illness may require immediate attention. Just as I was desperately seeking help for my physical infirmities, you may feel just as strongly about helping your own loved one.

These natural healing principles and therapies may be the answer for you . . .

Most children respond positively to this pragmatic approach in a short time. When performed correctly, natural therapies have no long-term side effects, unlike drugs and surgery.

My deepest wish is that the millions of children in the world who need this care receive it.

I hope it will be available to all children in the future.

Harvey Diamond, Author of Fit for Life,
the all-time best-selling diet and health book
with 3 million copies in print,

said this about Healing Your Child:

"Dr. Gillespie's pioneering book demonstrates a new dimension in care for children with chronic illnesses. He incorporates the principles found in Fit for Life with three natural therapies to significantly improve and correct serious problems such as asthma, earaches, learning disabilities and others.

"Healing Your Child is a must read for the millions of parents desiring to provide the highest possible level of health for their children."
