Statement of Practice
Anciently, Masters of the Healing Arts gained their status
through Divine insight, hard work, expert teachers, compassion for the patient, a wide scope of knowledge, and community acceptance. Almost all of these elements are missing in today’s medical
practice.
Today Holistic Medicine is an integrated path from illness through cure to the maintenance of good health.
The first task when you are in disease is to determine the cause. A hands on, multidisciplinary practitioner like Dr.
Flowers gathers clues by looking at the moss on your tongue, feeling the rise and fall of your pulse, palpating your organs, searching for hidden allergies, studying your blood chemistries or by reading your iris.
Dr. Flowers’ practice, Harmonic Medicine, flows from this approach and what he calls the Unified Theory of Disease:
The African, Chinese, Ayurvedic, Native American, and Eclectic American Sages saw many acute, and most chronic diseases as
starting in the GI tract. GI damage from pharmaceuticals, devitalized foods, microbes and heavy metals in water,
microwaving, and large volumes of sweet foods lead to incomplete breakdown of proteins and starches, abnormal gut ecology, liver overload and adrenal/immune exhaustion that is strikingly similar from patient to patient. Anything from chronic viral problems to inflammatory bowel disease to allergies to mood and mental disorders are all a part of this pattern of
dysfunction. Once the root cause of the imbalance is found a variety of treatments are available: acupuncture to release blockages of energy and relieve pain, herbal remedies to rebuild damaged systems, and nutritional therapies to correct deficiencies in the
nutrient base.
Through Harmonic Medicine Dr Flowers employs multiple
modalities from traditional and complimentary medicines in an
attempt to find which disease pattern best fits the patient’s unique ethno-metabolic health needs. This approach combines testing for food sensitivities, digestive stool analysis,
acupuncture, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, heavy metal studies and
nutraceuticals in a structured program custom tailored for each individual.
Our objective at the Healing Zone is to find the program that works best for you so you can enjoy the highest quality of life.
Four
Approaches to Health and Wellness
Dr. Flowers has a four-tier approach to health and wellness. His objective is to recognize an individual’s condition and
needs; physically, emotionally, financially and then prescribe their optimum plan for recovery. His ultimate goal for his
patients is to help them know themselves and understand their physiology i.e., their personal “blueprint”. This optimizes
their opportunities to be strong, healthy, and enjoy the fullness of life. With that in mind the Healing Zone Medical program
offers these options. Insurance forms will be provided subsequent to all appointments for submission to your third party provider.
A comprehensive program includes the standard appointment as well as a full Chinese medical evaluation and full nutritional
analysis. This 90-minute appointment includes a thorough assessment with diagnosis, a discussion of options and the treatment protocol. A specific customized supplement protocol will be
develop- ed and made available at the second visit.
Fee $475
A standard medical evaluation is available for any medical or health issue. This 60-minute consultation includes a full
biomedical exam with clinical history and blood chemistry. The doctor will conclude by making a clinical assessment and
summarizing conventional and alternative approaches. Fee $265
In need of a second opinion? This 50-minute appointment offers a focused exam regarding one specific issue. A chart will be
made to organize the case. The doctor will then conclude by making a clinical assessment and summarizing conventional and
alternative approaches.
Fee $225
A 30 minute “conversation” with Dr. Flowers regarding your health issues, your interest in alternative therapies, the
difference between traditional medicine and new complimentary therapies, information on how Chinese medicine can be applied,
etc. Fee $125
Compliance is essential to any health program. Before setting an individual protocol, an assessment of personal habits,
recuperative needs, and finances are discussed so the program has the highest opportunity for success.
