Holistic Pain Relief: Dr. Tick's Breakthrough Strategies to Manage and Eliminate Pain

by Heather Tick

Chronic pain has become an epidemic in North America, yet our current health care system is ill equipped for treating sufferers. An expert in both conventional and holistic medicine, Dr. Heather Tick has spent twenty-five years treating patients for whom “all else has failed.” Based on her experience, Holistic Pain Relief offers practical guidance to anyone with pain. It includes easy-to-implement solutions for effective and permanent pain relief and also offers help to those with chronic conditions who feel confused, worried, or hopeless.

Dr. Tick presents a new way of looking at pain with a focus on health. By helping you make informed choices about physical, emotional, and spiritual living, Holistic Pain Relief offers possibilities for recovery and information on a wide range of treatment and prevention options, including acupuncture, chiropractic techniques, intramuscular stimulation, dietary supplements, medication, nutrition, and exercise. The result is a realistic — and inspiring — prescription for pain-free living.

This book is a fabulous introduction to the ideas of holistic care and Weston A Price's ideas. I believe Heather Tick is the perfect person to write this book for a couple reasons - she is a trained MD and has seen both sides of the spectrum - allopathic care and holistic care. Her approach is very good and she touches on a lot of ideas that make sense in how she practices.

I didn't finish the whole book, mostly because I don't have any pain to actually relieve. I was just interested in the POV presented by the book.

It is a good book if you are looking to research different avenues of care.

This is a book that provides advice on how to have a better life from a general standpoint. The idea is that if you enhance your life, then you will feel less pain. Or if you are healthier, cleaner and wiser, you will experiment less pain. That is a totally decent and reasonable idea.

This is the cover and informative pages of the book I read:


This is the table of contents. The book has three parts. In the first one, the author lays out the problem: there is pain, and the reasons: because we lead unhealthy and contaminated lives. The second part gives advice on good diet, eating clean, having good habits and, of course, exercising. The third and last part talks about having a support network to lead a better cleaner life,


The next image is an example of the types of advice this author gives in order to have a clean life: "please flee from any chemicals, be aware of the contamination everywhere."


Finally, another example of her advice: there is also electromagnetic radiation; so our health is basically being attacked all the time and we need to go to lengths to keep our bodies and souls clean of all these contaminating agents:

Eh. There is a lot of 'woo' mixed in with solidly back scientific helpers, and others which have only more recently peaked the interest of Western scientists for further study. Large grains of salt required.

Good practical advise. Scary what the world sees as the norm is so bad for us.
