Dr Craig Oster, THE HEALERS

Dr Craig Oster’s healing and reversal of some of his ALS symptoms are attributed to a number of factors.  A holistic approach with focus on diet/nutrition, positive mental attitude, mindfulness, healing the heart and mind, and strong relationships are very important to the healing process.  Below are some key guiding principles for Dr Craig’s remarkable healing journey:

    I just discovered your organization today. I would like some of your precious time to discuss my illness.

    Since the Fall of 2009, I have seen a general practitioner, three (3) neurologists, an infectious disease, naturopath, and functional doctors, and my condition continues to progress.

    So, bless all of them. They have used all their resources, however, I do not think they know.

    My story is still being written and I sincerely hope it has a fairy tale ending.

    Waiting anxiously for your reply 3D, Dennis Dunlap, Ph. D.

    Dr. Craig: I was just recently diagnosed with ALS (on 9/10/18). I am looking for a holistic approach to the disease and not the common “you have 1 to 3 years” response. It was suggested to me to detox first and to purchase “GreenDetox” to accomplish that task. I am totally in the dark about supplements and if you could direct me, I would be eternally grateful. I am assuming an organic meal plan is the best. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much for all that you do.
