Often, I see patients who come back from their doctor with a recommendation to start on a statin drug. These drugs are very common recommendations for elevated LDL numbers. However, statin drugs are not benign; they have side effects that…

What If? A poem by Ganga White

Dr Travis Elliott Naturopathic Physician — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 18:18:49 +0000

What If?

A poem by Ganga White

What if our religion was each other?
If our practice was our life?
If prayer was our words?
What if the Temple was the Earth?
If forests were our church?
If holy water—the rivers, lakes and oceans?
What if meditation was our relationships?
If the Teacher was life?
If wisdom was self-knowledge?
If love was the center of our being

– Written at the Rainforest Benefit, NYC April 1998

Two Poems by Mary Oliver

Invitation

by Mary Oliver

Oh do you have time

to linger

for just a little while

out of your busy day

and very important day

for the goldfinches

that have gathered

in a field of thistles

for a musical battle,

to see who can sing

the highest note,

of the lowest,

or the most expressive of mirth,

of the most tender?

Their strong, blunt beaks

drink the air

as they strive

melodiously

not for your sake

and not for mine

and not for the sake of winning

but for sheer delight and gratitude-

believe us, they say,

it is a serious thing

just to be alive

on this fresh morning

in this broken world.

I beg of you,

do not walk by

without pausing

to attend to this

rather ridiculous performance.

It could mean something.

It could mean everything.

It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote:

You must change your life.

From This River, When I Was a Child, I Used to Drink

by Mary Oliver

But when I came back I found

that the body of the river was dying.

“Did it speak?”

Yes, it sang out the old songs, but faintly.

“What will you do?”

I will grieve of course, but that’s nothing.

“What, precisely, will you grieve for?”

For the river. For myself, my lost

joyfulness. For the children who will not

know what a river can be- a friend, a

companion, a hint of heaven.

“Isn’t this somewhat overplayed?”

I said: it can be a friend. A companion. A hint of heaven.

Scope of the Bioresonance Analysis

Dr Travis Elliott Naturopathic Physician — Tue, 29 May 2018 18:19:05 +0000

My patients often wonder how the Bioresonance test can effectively treat so many different diseases. It is true that the scope of the Bioresonance Analysis of Health is quite large compared to conventional blood tests that are only looking at rough changes in one measurement at a time. In this week’s video blog, I elaborate on how I can investigate so many aspects of health with just this one tool.

Living Tick-Free by Dr. Alexis Chesney

Dr Travis Elliott Naturopathic Physician — Tue, 22 May 2018 16:27:20 +0000

As someone who specializes in Lyme Disease treatment, I am always on the lookout for new resources for my patients. Dr. Alexis Chesney, another Lyme specialist practicing in Southern Vermont, has authored a book that I feel is a great resource for anyone looking to prevent or treat Lyme Disease. The book is called “Living Tick-Free” and you can download it here. I’ve dedicated this week’s video blog to reviewing this valuable resource.

Another Spring by Kenneth Rexroth

Another Spring

by Kenneth Rexroth

The seasons revolve and the years change

With no assistance or supervision.

The moon, without taking thought,

Moves in its cycle, full, crescent, and full.

The white moon enters the heart of the river;

The air is drugged with azalea blossoms;

Deep in the night a pine cone falls;

Our campfire dies out in the empty mountains.

The sharp stars flicker in the tremulous branches;

The lake is black, bottomless in the crystalline night;

High in the sky the Northern Crown

Is cut in half by the dim summit of a snow peak.

O heart, heart, so singularly

Intransigent and corruptible,

Here we lie entranced by the starlit water,

And moments that should each last forever

Slide unconsciously by us like water.

HDL Lab Interpretation

This week, I continue on the theme of interpreting cholesterol labs. In this video blog, I focus on HDL, the “good” cholesterol. Just like LDL, it is important to understand your HDL levels and whether or not it is doing its job appropriately in your body.
