And healthcare was self-help and family help and community help with all that support around them with wisdom from people who didn’t necessarily go to college but had the life history and background and experience to say this is what worked.

Dr. John Coleman, ND

I go back to saying, yes, all these things, these diseases were caused by the same processes. They’re just a set of symptoms. And so, to change my health, I need to change the processes and I need to change my attitude. Me. I have to do it, not someone in a white coat with a bottle of pills, although they can be useful. But I have to make the changes

Dr. John Coleman, ND

But what people’s choices are, are their choice. So, it’s fine. And many people we know, are very lazy, they don’t want to do research. They don’t want to know; they don’t want to find out. They want to be told what to do. That’s fine. That’s their choice.

ABOUT DR. JOHN COLEMAN, ND

By August 1995, Dr. John Coleman, ND   was wondering how he could go on living.  Suffering symptoms of stage IV Parkinson’s disease and early-stage Multi-system Atrophy, diagnosed by five medical and complementary practitioners, and severely dissatisfied with the treatment and prognosis he received from western medical practitioners, John decided to pursue other pathways to health and was completely symptom-free by April 1998.

John was co-founder of Very Special Kids in 1984 and founder of the neuro recovery foundation in 2002, conducted sixteen Neuro Recovery Pathways programs in NSW and Melbourne, plus practitioner training around Australia, USA, Germany, Austria and UK.

John is one of Australia’s most experienced naturopaths in treating Neurodegenerative and Autoimmune disorders, plus Lyme disease and co-infections, utilizing a wide variety of strategies to improve health together with specific neuroregenerative strategies plus antimicrobial & detox herbal remedies as required.

John now conducts his Naturopathic Clinic in Lancefield, rural Victoria.  His book, “Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease – the definitive guide to the known causes of Parkinson’s disease and proven reversal strategies”, was released by Hybrid Publishers in 2020. “Shaky Past” autobiography  was released in 2012. He presented at the International Parkinson’s Disease Conference in 2001, two posters at the 1st Tick Borne Diseases Conference in 2013 and two case histories at the 3rd Tick Borne Diseases Conference in 2015.

John received a Tattersall’s Award for work with VSK in 1985 and an ANPA award for Community Education in 2005. He was a finalist in the Pride of Australia Medal in 2007.

Core purpose/passion: Empowering people to find their own way to wellness; finding the fundamental causes of an illness process; changing social attitudes from find a cure to, find out how to get well.

So welcome to the Healers Cafe. And I’m sitting here today with Dr. John Coleman, ND, who’s a naturopath, and he does Bowen therapy, and so many more things. But we’ve actually talked in 2020 on a podcast there, and maybe I should read your bio, just so people who don’t know you have a sense of who you are. But especially, your own experience in life, you had suffered symptoms of stage four Parkinson’s disease, and early stage multi system atrophy. And you were diagnosed by five medical and complimentary practitioners, and severely dissatisfied with the treatment and prognosis that I don’t doubt that you receive from Western medical practitioners. So you decided at this point that you’re going to find your way out of this. And I know that our first podcast was really all about that. So I’m not going to repeat all of this. I just really welcome you in our time period now, because like we were just noting, we haven’t talked in two years. And there’s a lot going on. So anyway, welcome. Thanks for reaching out.

 

Dr. John Coleman, ND   02:12

Thank you. The two years, and I felt it was much longer because of everything that’s happened in the interim, and the turmoil around us. But it’s been an adventurous and exciting time and a time of discovery as well as disturbance, I guess, in those two years. So very briefly, yes, you’re right. In 1995, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and I recovered. And that’s been my work for many years. And then in 2015, I was diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer, and chose a combination of Western medicine and complementary medicine with that. And recently, I’ve been discharged both by my oncologist and that is a surgeon that I chose, and nobody wants to see me for another five years or so. If I’m still here, and then I felt it was time to condense my experience and work into another book and really try and be comprehensive about treating neuro disorders. So, on the 21st of October 2020, we released the Thinking Parkinson’s Disease, which has been exciting for me because it incorporates all my background, all the causes that we know about the trauma the toxins, infections and talks about strategies. But on that day, I also decided that I’d have a massive heart attack…
