CYH - Alternative Healthcare Options
Pharmacist Dr. Leyla Ali and hypnotherapist/
According to Dr. Leyla, “...for those who want to learn about alternative health care, the information can be overwhelming. There is so much information it’s hard to know where to start or what will work best for you and much of that information has little to do with natural healing therapies. Pharmaceutical companies dominate the information resources and advertising and the CYH-Alternative Healthcare Options mixer is a great resource for empowering you with choices for healing.”
Each monthly mixer has a theme and features three practitioners who offer free 10 minute private sessions on a sign up basis with different practitioners sharing what they do each month. Some monthly themes are, "Introduction to Alternative Health Care", "Canceling your pain", Healing diabetes", "Cleansing and detoxification"
The CreateYourHealth.com mixers grew out of the CYH online television show. Peter Bedard, the creator of CYH, has come close to dying several times and has healed himself of fibromyalgia, chronic sinus infections, bronchitis, asthma, an allergy to chlorine, sciatica, and fifteen years of chronic pain. He has even had to learn how to walk again. In dealing with his health conditions the only options that he was aware of were Western medicine and pharmaceutical drugs. When Peter avoided serious back surgery using acupuncture he knew that he had to get out and share Complementary Alternative Medicine with the world and thus CYH was born. It is Peter's mission to empower people with choices for healing. He not only hosts two other monthly mixers (one in West Hollywood, CA and one in Hollywood, CA), but he produces the CYH website which now has a library of over forty 5 minute videos each focused on a different healing practice and several bloggers sharing their health/healing experiences. Peter says, "We hope that those who are experimenting with alternative health practices will find a modality that heals and inspires. Healing is a two way street and just by taking your health and situation in hand you are already beginning the process of creating the health you want."
According to Dr. Leyla, “...there are lots of alternative treatments that people don’t even know about.” Leyla has been a pharmacist for over 10 years and she should know. She is the creator of The Butterfly Guide, an online holistic health directory:
By putting their resources together, Peter and Leyla are aiming to create a space that provides the beginning point for people that want to start their holistic journey.
