Holistic medicine sites
-
Whole Person Medicine
An excellent site. Dr.Ledermann is a medical doctor as well as a homeopath, and seeks to integrate the best wisdom of many non-traditional alternative practices under one roof.
-
Dr. Brian Kaplan
Dr. Kaplan is also a medical doctor turned classical homeopath, extremely well-regarded within homeopathic professional circles and widely published as well. His practice is further testament for the soundness of Homeopathy as an effective treatment while conventional medical doctors turn to embrace homeopathy. His articles on the site are particularly noteworthy.
-
Radical Healing
Dr. Rudolph Ballentine has made significant inroads toward integrating conventional western medical practice with some of the best therapeutic alternative practices of the world. He has founded several integrative clinics in the U.S. with the aim of blending the primary holistic schools of healing into an amalgamation that is far more potent than any one of them alone. A model of healing essential for our times and representative of where we need to head.
-
Dr. Andrew Weil
Dr. Andrew Weil, the “bearded guru” of holistic health and wellness, author of numerous best sellers and a regular on CNN, is pop culture’s link to the world of alternative health and healing. A lot of advertising and selling at this site. Good information, but he’s out to make the big bucks! He has simple and easy to follow advice about fitness and diet too.

Diet-related sites
Diet is a highly varied and personal subject matter, with the jury still out deliberating the pros and cons of everything from pure veganism to Canada's Food Guide.
Steer your life accordingly, with a balanced approach, consuming real food that feels right.
I have had favorable personal and professional experience with:
- The “Caveman” Diet: anything you can catch wild (birds, beasts, fish), along with plenty of what grows above the ground, especially dark leafy greens, nuts and seeds.
- Wild, organic, grass-fed animal protein (for example, no farmed fish—fish should eat plants and creatures native to their aquatic habitat, not cornstarch!)
- Tons of raw food, grown organically, locally and eaten seasonally (as best as practical given our geography).
- Avoidence of technologically altered foods (anything highly refined or in a box).
- Making sure to get about 3 litres (for the average adult) of pure water consumed daily and never with meals.
-
The Paleolithic Diet Page
Lots of links on this site. The essence of the hunter-gatherer diet and its scientific merits can be sourced here. Watch out for the fluff being sold too! The essence: minimise grains!
-
Eat Wild
All of the reasons why we should be eating grass-fed and free range (non-factory-farmed) animal products. Keep the protein sources pure and in natural order.
-
Living and Raw Foods
Lots of great support for why our diets should be comprised of abundant organic, raw, enzyme-laden living foods! (Stay away from the dead and highly processed empty calories.) Ignore the fluff on this site—it also links to dating services for others following a raw food diet!
-
The Water Cure
This site basically says, "You are not sick, you are thirsty!" Fantastic evidence by Dr. Batmanghelidj that many of our ailments can be cured by drinking at least half our body weight in ounces of pure water daily (for example, a 160-pound person should drink 80 ounces of water per day).
