Message from CHEO Leader:
   

 
Dear CHEO Members and Friends,

I am honored to serve as your New Knoxville 2010 President. We are looking forward to continued growth & outreach in our communities this year. Our membership base offers a wide variety of wonderful Alternative Modalities & offers great networking opportunities.

In the past year I have seen an awakening of the general public looking for more options, thus being more pro-active where their health is concerned. Together we are creating awareness that they do have alternative choices. With this information they can make better decisions of what is best for them.

I would encourage you to attend our educational meetings & to invite others. Remember to send in your wellness-related events to be posted on the CHEO website or in the calendar of events. We welcome all volunteer’s for special projects and continuing committee activities.

Our goal is to educate people and bridge the gap between Traditional and Alternative Medicine. We believe collaboration between conventional and alternative healthcare providers facilitates optimal healthcare and enhances well-being.

Thank you for your participation. Together we are making a positive difference in people’s lives.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann Collins
CHEO of Greater Knoxville Area, President 2010

LOUDON COUNTY -- CHEO Monthly Meeting
    Wednesday, February 24, 7 pm:  (last Wednesday)
 "Ageless Agility: Based on the Feldenkrais Method"
        Presenter: Debbie Ashton, MS (Dance and Movement)

Do you need to learn a new and more efficient and effortless way of moving to reduce stress or strain on an over used, injured or painful part of your body? Do you want to move more efficiently to improve your performance in a sport or everyday activity? Perhaps a golf swing, a tennis serve or your gardening posture could use improvement. Debbie Ashton, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner for 21 years, will educate us about Feldenkrais and explain how it can be used for pain management and peak performance. Feldenkrais consists of unique gentle movement sequences to help hip, spine and shoulders become more mobile and “lubricated” due to improved synovial fluid production. This will be done in chairs or standing so everyone can benefit. A drawing will be held for a complementary ‘hands on” one hour Feldenkrais session with Debbie Ashton.

Location: Rarity Bay Community Information Center, Hwy 72.  If you have questions or need specific directions from your locale, please contact a Loudon/Monroe CHEO Co-Director: Diane Minch (423) 884-6031, DianeMinch@hotmail.com.

Presenter, Dr. John Ross, D.C., and
CHEO Chattanooga 2010 President writes:

Greetings from the Chattanooga Chapter of CHEO,

As the newly elected president of CHEO in Chattanooga I am contacting you personally to let you know of the direction that I and the Board of Directors are trying to take our organization.  The purpose of CHEO is to educate the public about complementary, holistic, alternative and integrative health practices.  With the hot topic being National Health Care and its emphasis on the traditional Medical approach I feel it imperative that we educate our members on how to get the CHEO mission out to the public and educate our non-members on a more natural approach to health and healthy lifestyles.

With this in mind you need to know that the Chattanooga CHEO monthly meetings are directed toward educating our members on how to network with other businesses and put forth the message of CHEO.  Our next meeting is February 21, 2010 at Miller-Motte in Chattanooga.  The meeting goes from 2 PM to 4 PM.  The first hour is spent in training and educating; the second hour is spent in networking with those in attendance.  Please attend, bring your business cards and brochures.

Member Spotlight:  February 2010

Q and A with Sue:
 

What brought you to Alternative Health and the field/product you’re involved with?  Like many people in Alternative Health, I was brought to the field by a serious personal health challenge that left me disabled for some time.  When conventional medicine was unable to help, I realized that I needed to learn how to be my own healer and advocate.  I was luckier than most in that I had already been on the faculty of the University of South Florida Medical School for many years, and had been part of a teaching/training team in a teaching hospital for almost two decades, so I was educated.  Still, if I could not easily find people who could diagnose and treat me, it was clear that others were even more unprepared to face similar health challenges without support.

So tell me about how you got started in your work?   I started as a clinical psychologist (Ph.D., UTK), working in the conventional medical arena, but always had an interest in the spiritual and metaphysical.  Though trained as a scientist/practitioner, my later study of comparative religions familiarized me with spiritual practices used to maintain and restore health.  My own health challenge led to retirement from the practice of psychology, eventually beginning work as a Life Guide Coach, and then on to certification as a Certified Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner.

Inspirational story:  ...While demonstrating a session... I found that Kidney meridian was out of harmony. When I told her, she said she wasn’t going to mention it, but she had recently been found to have nodules on her kidney and was to have a biopsy the next week. We only had one session, but I unblocked the energy flow in Kidney meridian and balanced her other energies, and when she went back for the biopsy, the new diagnostic test showed no evidence of nodules. She needed no further treatment….

Notes from Members:

From Jo Peckinpaugh  Jo@JoPeckinpaugh.com

From: Daniel Stockin [mailto:stockin2@yahoo.com] 
Subject: Collapse of Water Fluoridation Draws Closer
               Exciting Developments

Jo, below is a summary of recent developments toward the collapse of water fluoridation. There is also much more happening. If you know anyone with dental fluorosis (even people with the milder, white forms), encourage them to fill out the law firm's form at the website. Also, if you or anyone else can help us as described below, now is the time.  D. Stockin

There is exciting news  -- the collapse of water fluoridation is drawing closer! At The Lillie Center we have been working for a number of years on three aspects related to fluoridated water: harm to kidney patients, disproportionate harm to black Americans, and educating legal firms. We were involved in the National Kidney Foundation's 2008 decision to remove its name from the American Dental Association's list of water fluoridation supporters. Now there is even more great news! Go to www.nidellaw.com and click the fluoride questionnaire link. Read the questionnaire carefully, all the way to the bottom, and you will see what will send a chill down the spines of fluoride promoters and water districts that fluoridate. Americans with dental fluorosis are being educated about possible legal actions, and how they can submit pictures of their dental fluorosis! You will see that the implications of this are enormous.

This follows recent news from the Journal of Public Health Dentistry that black children are ingesting significantly more fluorides than white children, and the earlier quiet acknowlegement by CDC that blacks suffer disproportionate amounts of moderate and severe dental fluorosis.. 

We are receiving calls and emails from people rejoicing at these developments. But we must also report that after five years self-funding our work at The Lillie Center, right at the point when we have numerous exciting developments, we are closing down unless we receive some financial help NOW. We have simply run out of our own money. (Dr Lillie believed in this work so much that she mortgaged her house, and we've maxed out the credit cards.) We are a very tiny (1.5 people) company, and we humbly ask if those who read this, who value what we've done, would consider sending a contribution of $50, $100, or even $1000 or more to support us at this critical juncture.

Checks can be made out to: The Lillie Center Inc. and sent to: P.O. Box 839, Ellijay GA 30540. Phone: 706-669-0786. Contributions are not tax deductible - we're not a non-profit, but we've done our work simply because we thought it the right thing to do, and we hope others will value our efforts. Thank you to all who will contribute immediately - we have immediate need.

CHATTANOOGA - GRAND OPENING

www.WellNestChattanooga.com

Dr. Rick writes: I am thrilled to invite you to the Grand Opening of "Well Nest" this coming Saturday, January 30th, from 2 - 6 pm.

My new mind/body/spirit wellness center, “Well Nest,” is the culmination of a 20-year dream to offer several holistic modalities for healing and well-being under one roof.  It is the first stage of what I hope to develop over the years into an ever-evolving, growing center where people can address their mental, physical, and spiritual needs in a safe, comfortable environment, guided and supported by caring professionals and experts in their fields. 

Well Nest offers individual psychotherapy, relationship counseling, clinical hypnotherapy, meditation and yoga classes, massage therapy (including reflexology, hot stone, and couple’s massage), diverse support groups (such as relationship, empowerment, bereavement, healing), and educational seminars (everything from nutrition, to spirituality, feng shui to local author readings).  Groups and classes are largely based upon community need and request, so I invite you to engage with us at Well Nest, and be a part of building this creative support system for Chattanooga.  You may want to utilize our services, teach a class, or facilitate wellness in a personal and unique way.  Let’s talk. 

Well Nest is located in East Ridge, just a few miles from downtown Chattanooga.  I hope you’ll join me for live music, local art, hot mulled cider, and good conversation with my fellow Well Nest practitioners, Janis Hashe and Renee Richardson, who can answer your questions about all of the above healing modalities and more.  Call or write for directions: 423-326-7099, or DrRPH@aol.com.  Also, the new web site will be launched any day now; it’s a good way to stay in touch. 

Visit www.WellNestChattanooga.com  Please share this with your friends.

Hope to see you this Saturday!!

Ideas for those with Holistic Health businesses

For those practitioners trying to grow their businesses in tough economic times, the best answer may still be PUBLICITY, PUBLICITY, PUBLICITY!  (this is FREE marketing).

Many radio stations give FREE PSAs for events. And do any of us do enough publicity?  What about calling in to talk radio.  Chattanooga has TWO Talk Radio stations – 1^st (oldest) is TALK 102.3 FM and the newbie in town sponsored our Heritage House CHEO Health Fair, Brewer Media Group’s PULSE 95.3 FM.  In Chattanooga, Mondays at 7p on Pulse 95.3, a chiropractor has a Call-In Health Show called the Dr. Nick show. Be a regular calling in on this and EVERY RADIO SHOW!!  We need to get the holistic message out – not just for you personally – but for the group and the community. You can give good info about holistic while promoting your business, service, product or modality.

And what about those smart folks who sponsor free meals at places like RYANS and give info talks prior to the meal. I recently met a Magnet-Therapy saleperson (selling amazing magnetic mattresses) who bought a list of names of people in public in certain age/income bracket, and provided lunch at Ryans for under $20/person. That’s amazing – since it’s the ONLY FORM OF MARKETING that he did – and traveled all over the state!

Be SMART! We’re competing with money. We have the best answers. We have to play the game smarter!  GO TEAM!

LOUISVILLE TN (near Knoxville)
 Sai Shakti Satsangs and Group Meditation
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Cost: $5
Location: 2486 Topside Road, Louisville, TN 37777

Join us for an on-going spiritual discussion on the ancient teachings being revealed and taught by Sri Kaleshwar. We open the satsang with an uplifting group meditation and by singing bhajans, before going deeper into an aspect of the ancient teachings. The topics of discussion change each week. The satsangs are also a time to ask questions and go deeper in one’s spiritual practice. Coming together regularly for spiritual discussions and to be in community with other seekers helps strengthen our personal process and protection circles through “groupism” as we go deeper in our understanding of God’s nature and the miracle energy channels.  HargroveFire368@charter.net
