About
Sharyn Wynters
In
my practice, I focus on nutrition and education. I spend time deciphering
the fears that other doctors have put into people's heads. An important
part of healing is learning to listen to your inner voice. Healing
is an adventure! A person's illness is the beginning of their journey
into the discovery of what it is for them to become healthier. Illness
is our body trying to teach us how to be well.

A major health problem exists today......stress! Colitis, ulcers,
digestive disorders, hypoglycemia, and nervous breakdowns are just
some of the stress-related afflictions that result from our contemporary
lifestyle. Everything is so fast-paced; instant information. These
stresses put an unusual strain on the body, causing poor digestion,
muscle tension, and many related problems. There is frustration.
We're losing control. As the problems continue to rise, they interfere
with the body's normal function and we get sick.
All systems must work together for a healthy body. It won't happen
unless the digestive system, nervous system, and all mental and
emotional systems are operating in harmony with each other. If any
one of these systems are functioning poorly, it causes strain on
the other systems. We must think of the body as a whole and observe
the interaction of all body systems. Maintaining health means dealing
with the body as a whole system. For the last 50 years, orthodox
medicine has treated disease with an allopathic approach. For headaches,
47 varieties of aspirin. If we get an infection, bring on the antibiotics.
For cancer, try radiation, chemotherapy, or even surgery. This is
the way modern medicine treats disease, by attacking the system.
The natural health practitioner, on the other hand, treats health
as a state of constant renewal and regeneration.
90% of the diseases affecting humans are degenerative diseases
resulting from the body's life-sustaining processes of regeneration
not being able to overcome the modern day influences like pesticides,
depleted soils, chemical agriculture, processed foods, dirty air,
contaminated water, bar code convenience foods and stress. There
is no virus, "bug", or outside invader for modern medicine to conquer
with drugs. The problem is within the body and the answer lies in
restoring the processes of good health. We must take responsibility
for our own lives and our own bodies. Whether a minor headache or
a cancerous tumor, it is up to each of us to find the imbalances
indicated and restore our body to overall good health. The only
one that can cure us is ourselves.
