New Tonic News

Good morning! This is the opening post for this exciting blog. The New Tonic promise is to bring trusted information to people about their health: medicine, healthy lifestyle, healthy choices--combining the perspectives of the Western medical world (that is, a trained MD, me) and integrative medicine (alternate medical choices beyond Western medicine such as diet, exercise, lifestyle choices as well as other choices such as herbs, supplements, Eastern medicine (from a boarded holistic practitioner, also--me).

Of course, I include reviews of the literature and recent research from East and West beyond my own training. My plan, with my diverse training, is to help you wort through the unedited information you find on the web and also offer you a multiplicity of approaches to your health issues.

With you questions and participation, we can begin to approach health holistically--and perhaps in a better way than we're used to. That is, if we can prevent disease, we can reduce our dependence on our broken system, and start to buid a new one!

Please join me in this exciting process. Ask your questions today!
