Often unknown to us we pass people everyday who are searching for answers. Their life speaks of uncertainties and not possibilities. They plod through life on a day to day basis. Many times downcast and resolute in their acceptance of the negative aspects of life, they nonetheless on occasion see a glimmer of light in the darkness of their lives. To get through each day can be a struggle. In this mire of thought and belief, the slightest penetration by a friend or family member or some authoritative figure can give rise to the smallest of embers. There are those who rise up and move closer to this small but penetrating light. As they get closer there is the slightest warmth that comes to their heart, a heart sadly cold because there is no future, there are no answers. The soft whispers of encouragement from loved ones and others begins to clear the mind of the web of questions and doubt. This person has at one time or another come into your life. For some of you, it is an everyday occurrence. For others it is a sometime thing. They come to us and look searchingly into our eyes for answers and dignity. People yearn to have meaning in their life, but to those who carry great burdens, self-worth is fleeting and disappears easily in the mist of endless questions. Those whose burdens are physical, mental, or emotional are attracted to integrative medicine because there are new possibilities for answers. Integrative medicine gives them the platform to participate in their own healing. They move from being passive to being active in their treatment. Even while the outcome is yet undetermined, they come to the understanding that it is their body and their mind—it is their future. They are encouraged to learn about not only their condition but more importantly about their body and how at the core of our being we are designed and we are engineered to heal ourselves. Make no mistake, those who cross the threshold of your office are in the midst of a battle. A battle so basic it is the battle for life and existence. As an integrative practitioner, you have chosen to stand at the side of these people and do battle with them. You have chosen not to believe the bad report, but to believe that each person has the innate ability built within them to be healed. While not all will succeed in this quest, they can live every moment of life and live it to the fullest. This is what you can and do give to those who are searching for answers, you give them the possibility of life and hope renewed. The importance of this conference, and others like it, is not limited anymore to the dissemination of valuable knowledge, but, maybe, more importantly the coming together of the true leaders of health care reform, those who practice a type of medicine that is solely focused upon the client and the client’s needs while involving the client directly in the healing process. We congratulate you on investing the time, energy, and money to be a part of not only this conference but also the furtherance of a cause to bring the absolute best in health care practices to your clients on a daily basis. We salute you! 4 W.

The disgruntled masses that made up the burgeoning colony across the sea from its distant king, George III. Having tried to right what they saw as deep and abiding injustices through negotiation, they felt the need to declare freedom from what they considered to be tyranny. So in July they gathered in this Pennsylvania city to lay the foundation for what would be called “the great experiment”. Never before had such an idea been birthed that had survived and there was considerable doubt as to the outcome of this birth. The colonies were no match for the forces of the British Crown. Not everyone in America agreed with this growing rebellion and many more did not want to fight even though they were oppressed. But a small select group of men gathered to represent their states. They made a dramatic stand against tyranny. They must have known that they were casting their futures into the wind, for their was no certainty that they would prevail. The fifty six men who gathered to sign a declaration of US HEALTH CARE SYSTEM PRIORITIES motherland and master, were dissatisfied with the treatment they had been receiving from a 1.Money 2.Government 3.Insurance 4.Pharmaceuticals 5.Hospitals 6.SurgiCenters, etc 7.Clinics 8.Specialists 9.Primary Care 10.Patient freedom and independence did so at their peril. The war that ensued from the signing of the Declaration of Independence was devastating to many Americans who risked their fortunes and lives for a cause greater than their personal needs. Many in the United States of today feel a similar need today where healthcare is concerned. In many ways the things that are transpiring in this great country today are symbolic of war. There is an overwhelming desire by the government to take over the lives of its citizens. Once an entity has control of a person’s body and can dictate what that person can do in regards to their own body, that entity could be called tyranny. What should be more treasured by a person than their own body? And yet people have been giving the right to dictate about what happens to their body to a disinterested third party we call the Established Medical Complex. People have relinquished their responsibility for caring for their own person to this conglomerate of self-interest entities because they have been convinced that they are too ignorant to make the important decisions about their own health and wellness. Join us as we build an alternative to the Established Medical Complex that puts the person at the center of their own health. Let this be a peaceful determined revolution of ideas, practices, and beliefs that catapults us to new expressions of wellness. Many marvelous and dedicated men and women have laid a sacrificial foundation on which to build. Just has enlightened visionaries over two centuries ago 25 gathered and declared that there is a better way, let us gather and declare it for the future of health and wellness across the world. Stand with us as we build a better way. 26 26 27 27 Solutions For The Incurable 28 The Evidence Basis Presented by T C HE A I OMPREHENSIVE M F l o r i d a OF NTEGRATIVE EDICINE October T h e CADEMY H o t e l 25 & a n d O r l a n d o , 26, 2013 C o n f e r e n c e C e n t e r F l o r i d a SUPPORTED BY Argentyn 23 PEMF-Pulse 4 Life 28 www.acimconnect.com ZYTO
