The Alternative Healing Network, (a 501(c)(3) non-profit) promotes the use of integrative or ‘alternative’ healing arts and improves access to care in under-served neighborhoods.
We host weekly free “Integrative Health Nights” (clinics) that bring Eastern and Western healing arts together and operate the Adams Avenue Integrative Health Center to further offer our clinical services on a “Sliding-Scale”.
We are the producers of the annual San Diego Healing Arts Festival and the Market Creek Healing Arts Festival that combine music, (one of the greatest healing forces in the World) with other health practices in order to offer a forum for experiencing new modalities.
We believe that both Western and “Alternative” medicine should be integrated for use together in hospitals and other institutions. We acknowledge the benefits of Biomedical surgery, lab tests, and pharmaceutical development as essential in maintaining health, but there are often ‘alternative’ therapies, which can be used on their own or integrated into other treatment plans for the best overall patient care.
We also believe that modern research trials are not conducive to proving the efficacy of an energetic or spirit based medicine and hope to help create a new standard.
