The first 1000-hour Holistic Health Practitioner Program in the State of California
The first massage instruction video program in California
The first “approved” school of hypnosis in California.

What is the design purpose of this machine (our bodies)?
Volume I: STRUCTURE GOVERNS FUNCTION … the shape of something determines its potential function.
How does the structural purpose of this “machine” conflict with the present environment to create stress, which results in symptoms of disease?
How do personal and business relationships generate stress, which results in symptoms of disease?
Volume II: BLOOD CHEMISTRY DRIVES BEHAVIOR … within the structural capacity, that is.
How does blood chemistry alter and affect behavior, which results in aches and pains and symptoms of disease?
How can you read the “dashboard gages” on this machine to avoid a major organ breakdown years in advance?
Volume III: HIATAL HERNIA SYNDROME … the hidden weakness that is frequently misdiagnosed, leading to most chronic aches and pains and degenerative disease conditions.
How does this genetic weakness result in symptoms of serious disease profiles like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as common ailments like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sciatica?
