Page Crow began plant study at the age of 6, from Elenor Finke RN and master gardener. In her 60s, with decades of experience in nursing with conventional medicine, Elenor taught that “Food is the best medicine…” Elenor awoke an interest in plants and flowers and taught Page foods, spices and herbal plant medicines. In high school a terrible car accident landed Page Crow in Dr. Ray Boring’s chiropractic office, after the surgeons said there was no hope. The miracle that is chiropractic was revealed to the teenager and there was no looking back. One week out of high school, he enrolled at UMKC to begin pre-chiropractic studies. At that same time, a chance purchase of a set of acupuncture charts from a garage sale started the path toward eastern healing arts. Those charts were bedroom art. During chiropractic school, while in study, Page would sit and stare at the acupuncture charts, knowing nothing whatsoever about meridian therapy. However, those paths and lines were burning a mental image in the brain from the years of visual inspection. The connection had not yet been made.

Western trained in chiropractic college, young Dr. Page Crow accepted a mentor\apprentice relationship with Dr. Ray Boring, Independence, MO. 25 years clinical experience, Ray’s father, Buell had 50 years. It was like working as a third generation chiropractor, the distilled experience and wisdom was well received. Fundamental\straight\disciplined Meric style chiropractic was the practice and apprenticeship 1986-89.

Beginning in 1989, private practice full time provided exposure to the awakening of the American consciousness to other forms of healthcare, besides western conventional medicine. Dr. Crow was on the cusp of the change during the internet revolution, when knowledge and truth in healing were no longer suppressed. Acupuncture education was formalized with fellows certifications from both Drs. Amaro and Yennie, acupuncture masters and educators. Constant study in eastern healing arts is currently the norm. Acupuncture is gaining public acceptance and the public are curious. That practice is always growing.

In the middle 1990’s, Dr. Page Crow experienced the premature deaths of both of his parents from cancer and other degenerative diseases. Watching many patients lose life early to massive degeneration, it was discovered by Dr. Crow (not a new discovery, of course) that most Americans know very little about their own body. In fact, the knowledge of how to take care of all the different parts of the human body seems to have been eliminated from the American experience. We are not taught very much at all beyond brushing our teeth. Thus premature, massive, and widespread degeneration sets in early beginning in teenagers. By the time a person is in their 30s, failures begin in the human body. Is this path intentionally set for us in America?

The specific application of routine self-maintenance is the key to prolonging and improving the human body and mind. A healthy body begets a healthy mind and visa\versa.

Enter the next teachers: Drs. John R. Christopher ND & Richard Schulze ND, both herbalists and naturopaths. Christopher, a lifetime healer, had 8 decades of experience and wisdom. Schulze, is a “radical” naturopath, outspoken and critical of the current trends in healthcare today. These healers teach their patients how to fix serious illness and “incurable” diseases. Dr. Crow has continued study in herbology and natural healing since 1996.

Eastern Traditional Chinese healing and American Indian medicine man wisdom are combined with modern principles of scientific eastern\western acupuncture principles. The “New Medicine” combines the best of eastern philosophy with western science and also traditional healing (empirical) with modern diagnostic capabilities. It’s all coming together.

Dr. Crow’s current clinical practice is focused on musculoskeletal healing, using a combination of chiropractic and acupuncture. The results are…very cool. Natural Healing works.

The future is the new chapter: post-graduate teaching of other doctors and healers. Dr. Crow wants to share his combined education and experience, and good luck for being in the right place at the right time. Teaching other health care providers will exponentially increase the number of people who can be reached with the message: “You really can heal your own body of serious illness using natural healing and routine maintenance.” Subjects for post-grad education include chiropractic, acupuncture, herbology, natural healing, and psychoneuroimmunology- the study of the mind\body\spirit connection.
