"I was divinely led to this vocation, as many are, through need and prayer. My husband Ted and I have 5 children. Our 3rd son Blake was born with life threatening birth defects. The medical prognosis was that with surgery and medication he would lead a sickly and short life. I prayed that God would lead us to an answer because I didn't feel in my gut that this was Blake's karma. I was led to a group of alternative practitioners who were able to tell me things about his condition that I could do something about. He began to respond the first day! I thought that his medical doctors would be thrilled, but they were not. I was told to keep Blake away from those 'quacks.' But I wasn't going to stop doing something that seemed to be helping. I also wanted to learn more so that I didn't endanger our son."
There was a small school for natural healing called Hanna Hills School of Natural Healing. It was there that Syndie learned the art of Naturopathic Medicine. After attending and interning at the clinic, she graduated. Shortly afterward, the school fell apart before it became accredited. However, Blake is now married, has 5 children and leads a healthy life! Syndie continued her education in the Natural Health field and now owns Healthy Treasures Inc. a health food store and healthy lifestyle boutique, as well as Health Advocate Services.
We were designed to be self-healing. We have an internal program that is constantly running to keep balance or homeostasis such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate...etc. When that system can no longer accomplish it's goal, symptoms begin to appear telling us where things are in need of balancing. Electro Dermal Screening can help to pinpoint the imbalance and tell us how to correct it. When we cut ourselves, we don't have to worry about sending the white blood cells to fight infection. We don't have to call upon the cells amazing system that runs all of the time. But if the cut is too deep or not clotting properly we may need to assist with stitches or Vitamin K for clotting. This is how the EDS system works. It's goal is to retain balance and homeostasis in the body.
"I believe that it (EDS) can and should be used to help recognize a patient's organ dysfunction even before physiological symptoms manifest themselves. It can identify pathogens and toxins that are making the patient sick, and ascertain what medicines, supplements and other remedies are helpful or harmful to the patient. It does all of this quickly, inexpensively and non-invasively." Burton Goldberg, researcher and editor of Alternative Medicine Magazine.
Symptoms are not the disease. Symptoms are an expression of the body needing help to regain balance. Symptoms shouldn't be viewed as always needing suppression. EDS helps to find the underlying causes and then assists in helping the body heal itself through regulation of diet, supplements, or Homeopathic Medicine. EDS electronically measures the biological energies used in acupuncture.
Burton Goldberg boldly states, "Anyone who is taking supplements, especially individuals with health problems, should have their vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. tested to make sure that they are actually necessary and doing the body good." EDS measures the body's ability to conduct this energy. If the product is inferior or old or incompatible you may be wasting your money at the very least. When energy flow is imbalanced, the body can be stimulated by selected electro-magnetic (EM) fields to change the conductance until a specific EM field produces the balanced conductance. For example, the Orion System that Synthia uses has a database of nonionizing, nonthermal, low energy frequency specific EM fields that can be selected and output by the operator. Thus it can identify positive and negative influences on the body by sending specific EM signals (pathogen or natural remedy EM's.)
In the application of EM fields to the body, the National Institute of Health (NIH) of the United States has stated that:
"The current status of basic research in BEM may be summarized as follows:
It is established that nonionizing, nonthermal EM fields exert measurable bioeffects in living organisms. In general, the organism's response to applied EM fields is highly frequency specific and the dos-response curve is nonlinear. Extremely weak EM fields, at the proper frequency and site of application, can produce large effects, either beneficial or harmful. (Rubik and Flower, 1994) Thus, the biofeedback technology must be operated by a trained individual to produce the benefits. And the trained individual can become an expert in regulating and balancing the body's EM field for optimal health.
"Our family of 5 adult children, 3 daughter-in-laws and 8 grandchildren are all very health conscious. Our eldest son Dr. Ted Suzelis N.D., is a Naturopathic Physician who graduated from an accredited 4 year medical school, the Southwestern School of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe,AZ. He now has two offices. One is in Newton Falls,OH at Health Advocate Services and one is in Boardman,OH. Our second eldest, Dr. Ian Suzelis D.O. is "bridging the gap" between Holistic Medicine and Traditional Medicine. He has an office in Alliance,OH and one in Middlefield,OH. Blake is managing the family health food store, Healthy Treasures Inc., and is going to school for his master's in Christian Counseling. Ashley, the only girl in the bunch, is continuing her education with Bach Flower Remedies and Esthiology. Garrett, the youngest child, graduated from Naropa University in Boulder,CO with a degree in Music Therapy. The whole family it seems has been inspired by the lifestyle enough to engage their careers as advocates of health and wellness." Synthia Suzelis, Health Advocate.
