Dearest readers, a question: were you at Back to School for Doctors this year? You know, the annual event where Mark Anderson takes attendees on the deepest of deep dives into the wholistic principles of Dr. Royal Lee. When wholistic-minded practitioners and self-healthers from all over the country show to a singular event year after year, you know that it’s kind of a big deal.
If you didn’t make it this time around, don’t beat yourself up. There’s always next year. If you did make it to Back to School for Doctors (which I invite you to call BTS), you may have seen this writer at the SRP table, slinging books and attempting to be helpful. But in the slow times, I also had plenty of opportunities to sidle into the seminar, settle into a chair, and just…listen.
This year at BTS, Mr. Anderson spoke—for an entire Saturday and half a Sunday—on a topic I find myself thinking about a lot these days. The seminar was titled “Ignite the Body’s Response and Repair.” I hope I am not wrong, but I think this is a fantastic metaphor for assisting the body’s ability to heal. And because I am a simple person, I boil it down to simply mean healing.
Healing has been on my mind. Like everyone else, I’m on an inexorable path from young to not young to old to even older to quite elderly. I would like to outfit my body for this journey. After all, it is a breathtaking creation—an astonishingly complicated organism made up of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that somehow all work together to maintain the crazy miracle of the universe called life.
And yet my particular body, probably like many bodies today, has some repairing to do. At BTS I was given the opportunity to reflect on this fact. Even if some of it went over my head, I was nudged in the right direction. In my mind, I think this is what BTS is all about. Understanding the body. Supporting the body. “Igniting” the body’s ability to respond and repair.
Before my body can be ignited to do any responding or repairing, inhibitions must be addressed. Drugless practitioners have all manner of approaches, from the chiropractor’s spinal subluxations to the acupuncturist’s needles. But Dr. Lee left us knowledge about the single most profound thing that impacts every aspect of healing. All of the body’s tissues, organs, and systems depend upon the nutrients given to us by Nature to repair, renew, and replace. It therefore follows that nutrition therapy is essential and cannot be replaced by other healing approaches. But all healing approaches need nutrition therapy to be successful.
If you care about this stuff (and I know that you do), I hope next September you’ll come to Back to School for Doctors. Mark Anderson will pluck something intensely insightful from the work of Dr. Royal Lee, something that deepens our knowledge of, and appreciation for, the nutrients and formularies that support the rather astounding human body. Mark Anderson will hold up a fascinating, multifaceted gem from Dr. Lee and—for an entire Saturday and half a Sunday—he will help us see it.
And lest you think Mr. Anderson kicks up his feet with cozy mystery novels in between each BTS, I can assure you he does not. And I have proof. Have you heard of Webinar Wednesdays?
