For those seeking to research a healthcare concern on their own: Select one or more of the following books (or other information sources, such as newsletters, online health databases, and online health optimization systems) from the below list of resources, by Drs. Jonathan V. Wright, MD, ND (Hon) and Alan R. Gaby, MD (item #3.1). And, cross reference this information with one or more of the top items listed in #3.2, by Drs. Joseph E. Pizzorno, ND, and Michael T. Murray, ND. That's a great place to start (after item #'s 1 and 2), and it may be all that is needed to obtain excellent information on most healthcare concerns. For additional information and possible solutions to healthcare concerns, items listed further down this page (item #3.3 and below) can also be cross-referenced as well. See what overlaps, and start there! And, try to also test as much of the "non-overlapping info" as possible, to see what is most helpful.

For those seeking a healthcare practitioner skilled in the use of nutrition-based medicine and natural healthcare: Natural healthcare healing systems, practice groups, and physician directories.

3.1 Health Information Resources by Dr. Wright, Dr. Gaby, and Their Associates

3.1a Online Archives of Top Natural Healthcare Information

(1) Greenmedicinenewsletter.com provides (1) an online archive of years of newsletters written by Dr. Wright; (2) access to health condition research summaries (called Medical Briefs); (3) the ability to search any health-related topic, such as "high blood pressure," and read the many articles that come up with information related to the topic. Also, related topics, such as "heart health," can be searched, and additional related articles are displayed within the search results. The price is $8/mo. or $50/yr., and it is well-worth the price, since this option takes readers directly to top information from the fields of nutrition-based medicine and natural healthcare -- in a concise, highly readable, highly usable, research study referenced, real-world proven format.

Additional examples on how to locate information (and related information) for some of the most common healthcare concerns:

Search "cancer," then search "immune system," "detoxification," and specific types of cancer, such as "breast cancer" or "prostate cancer."
Search "diabetes," then "blood sugar," "insulin resistance," "detoxification," "sugar" and "exercise."
Search "arthritis,” then "osteoarthritis," "rheumatoid arthritis," "food sensitivities," "food allergies," "inflammation," "detoxification," "regenerative medicine," "stem cells," "ethical stem cells," and "stem cell therapy."
Search "asthma," then "food sensitivities," "food allergies," "digestion," and "inflammation."

Or, search for broad information related to a healthcare topic of concern first, then search for information on specific healthcare concerns:

Search "skin," then "eczema," "psoriasis," "rosacea," "acne," "food sensitivities," "food allergies," "digestion," and "detoxification."
Search "vision," then "near-sightedness," "far-sightedness," "cataracts," "glaucoma,"or "macular degeneration."
Search "hearing," then "ear health," "hearing loss," "tinnitis," or "vertigo."
Search "digestion," then "irritable bowel syndrome," "GERD," or ...
Search "women’s health," then any other more specific healthcare concern for women, such as ...
Search "men’s health," then any other more specific healthcare concern for men, such as ...
Search "children’s health," then any other more specific healthcare concern for women, such as ...

Additionally, for the above healthcare conditions and concerns, search: "health test for [add any condition here]." Dr. Wright has his own lab (www.meridianvalleylab.com) on-site at his medical clinic’s location, so his newsletters and his online health information provide information on innovative health tests in addition to information on innovative health treatment options for most healthcare concerns.

The above information (multiple articles on a health topic) can then be printed, organized into a three ring binder, further studied, and summarized.

(2) Townsendletter.com: Dr. Gaby has written for The Townsend Letter for many years, and about 14 years of his articles on all kinds of health conditions and topics, as well as his commentary on the latest research on nutritional medicine and natural healthcare, can be read online on the website (subscription required: $12.95/mo. or $99.95/yr.). Townsendletter.com has been one of the top resources for information on all aspects of natural healthcare for the last 40+ years. Subscribers can access many articles on natural healthcare information for most healthcare concerns.
