For those of you who have read much of what I've written, it may seem that I hate all MDs and DOs. Not so at all. Here is
a short list of people, including MDs and DOs, that I refer to as necessary:
Hallowell Family Practice
Nathan Murray-James is my doctor. We don't agree, but we listen to each other. He is the only person I know of who can talk
a patient into doing things without invoking fear.
I have heard that his partner, Scott Schiff-Slater, is also wonderful.
Both are still standard doctors in that they do just drugs, labs and surgery, but they do it in a very humane way.
Manchester Osteopathic
Charles Landry is a very smart diagnostician and thinker. He does pain management with hands on treatment, but he is completely
comfortable working with other issues.
Kennebec Therapeutics
Beth LaBaugh is more of a musculo-skeletal micromechanic than a massage therapist. If you have specific muscle pain, she
is the master at releasing every single tiny tendon in that area. If it still hurts after she'd through, chances are there's
something else going on.
Susan Eames
If you ever wondered if sound had anything to do with your health, or if you are particularly sensitive to frequency, Susan
has a range of sound and body tricks that will draw you down or pep you up. Her newest thing is a bath that draws out all
the toxins in your feet. It involves her putting an electrical device in the water with you, which is a little like firewalking
in terms of trust. Stuff did come out of my feet, but I still prefer her tuning fork acupoint work.
Brenda Colfer
Leave the body aside for a moment. Take a trip to the spiritual and spend a couple of hours with Brenda as the meditation
bowls sing. Effects: left sacral joint freed up to the point of being painfully flexible, two days of greatly altered bowel
movements, an urge to clean my entire house, tasks accomplished that had been sitting around for years. And that's after
one session.
