Total Mind/Body Transformation & Lifestyle Related Medicine

Roy A. Alterwein, M.D. deals with "Lifestyle Related Medicine," a new branch of medicine he has originated and developed. It deals with the prevention of disease and the offsetting of many of the signs and symptoms which are often, but inappropriately, regarded as resulting from the 'aging process.' By following the natural principles Dr. Alterwein has discovered, originated, and developed, an individual can increase his or her chances toward living a longer and more robust life than otherwise, filled with vitality and strength of body and mind, and one which is relatively preventive of disease, more so than otherwise.

Even such conditions as congenital defects, although largely not preventable since inherited, might be offset to some degree with regard to their deleterious effects on the body. Dr. Alterwein personally experienced such congenitally harmful and seriously life-threatening defects to his cardiovascular system, cardiac defects which, as noted above, he was born with. Although conventional medicine and surgery saved his life, without his having also discovered and personally engaged in his own methods, he would not have lived, nor been able to make the apparently amazing transformation demonstrated above, every bit of which is quite real!

Dr. Alterwein's methods uniquely combine multiple natural lifestyle factors such as those involving mind/body techniques, motions of the body against varying amounts of resistance, the ingestion of specific and certain foods and amounts of foods, methods Far Eastern and Tai Chi-like in nature, martial arts-like in nature, posturing, balance, coordination, reaction time, conditioning of the nervous system and mind and multiple techniques designed to condition and in turn change the physical body along with the mind.

Dr. Alterwein realizes and has utilized the fact that the mind and the body are in a symbiotic relationship. One cannot change one without the other. Dr. Alterwein's methods significantly involve strengthening of the mind to have control over one's drives, such as over hedonistic drives to eat improper foods, to be lazy, and the like. The key to transformation, Dr. Alterwein says, is strengthening of the mind. Strengthening of the body comes secondarily, and then in turn, reciprocally, like a seasaw rocking up and down, one (the mind and body) enhancing and strengthening the other. A sort of super strength of body and mind can ensue if his methods are learned and understood and engaged in properly and regularly. This is easier said than done, but Dr. Alterwein is the messenger, not the Creator of how our bodies were made and how they interrelate, mind and body, as "one" with the universe!

Without belaboring an additional and most significant aspect of Dr. Alterwein's methods, the spiritual aspect most definitely and significantly weighs into the formula. Whoever would believe that science and the spiritual nature of our being are not compitible? Such persons would not only be narrow minded, but sorry to say, they would be unable to make significant transformation as Dr. Alterwein describes.

By the way, Dr. Alterwein has also been educated and trained as an Ob/Gyn medical doctor and surgeon, although he currently chooses to practice Lifestyle Related Medicine and has done so for years, in addition to his also being a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer (or Health/Fitness Instructor).
