Scientific Mainstream and Conventional Medicine
SCIENTIFIC MAINSTREAM AND CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE THE SCIENTIFIC MAINSTREAM & CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D Medscape recently had an article “Is CAM always a Scam?” The gist of the discussion was that a majority of the panel speakers were truly IGNORANT—ignoring facts!

CONSCIOUSNESS
CONSCIOUSNESS Consciousness C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Fifty years ago, Vernon Mountcastle, the great neurophysiologist, and I had a lengthy discussion about the seat of consciousness.

Oxytocin Deficiency Syndrome
Personality and mood are perhaps more multidimensional than anything we perceive. They are conditioned by our astrological signs, our karma our genetics and perhaps, most of all, by our environment from the time of conception at least until adulthood.

IGNORANCE VS STUPIDITY
IGNORANCE vs STUPIDITY Ignorance vs Stupidity C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Ignorance is ignoring facts; stupidity is a lack of intelligence.

MEDICAL & COUNSELING INTUITION C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. In 1973 I received a $50,000 grant from a Fortune 500 company to study “psychic diagnosis”, with the caveat that I could not mention their name. I had a ball visiting and testing around the country 75 individuals who had a reputation of being intuitively helpful. […]
Pimps for the Pharmacomafia
PIMPS FOR THE PharmacoMafia C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. It is no longer news that many “leaders” in psychiatry are paid by the PharmacoMafia to inflate results to get an increasing number of people on their mostly dangerous and useless drugs. On June 2, BBC released the latest recommendations from The Wolfson Institute by none […]
INTO THE LIGHT
INTO THE LIGHT This magnificent painting was recently donated to Holos Institutes of Health by Dr. & Mrs. Michael Morton. It now hangs in the Holos Chapel.

Natural Health
NATURAL HEALTH Stand for Natural Health or be Banned by the Establishment C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. For 2000 years there has been an eternal battle between the Machinists and the Naturalists.
