THE HOLISTIC APPROACH

Dr. Marianne Hoyle, the primary care physician at Family Wellness Institute, is a holistic practitioner. Utilizing her training as a Palmer graduate licensed chiropractor, along with her continuing post-doctoral studies at Morter Health Center in Rogers, Arkansas, the Health and Wellness Center in Alexandrian, Virginia, and the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, she has dedicated herself to bringing to Central Illinois the newest and most effective forms of natural integrated healthcare.           

            Family Wellness Institute was created with the intent of enabling our patients to achieve the goal of taking control of their health. This is accomplished through the treatment of injury and disease, education on how the body, mind, memory, and spirit function for your health, and the philosophy that optimum health is both the personal responsibility and the right of each of us.

            Contrary to popular view, we do not believe that the human body is a machine and that doctors should be “mechanics” that make repairs to broken parts. We believe that human bodies are wondrous, multi-faceted, multi-dimensional creations that were designed to heal themselves. We believe that we, as health care providers, should work with all of the parts as a whole, and help to create balance in the body so that healing can happen as it should. If you doubt that you possess these self-healing powers, think about what happens when you cut your finger or catch the flu. You heal. You may feel the need to wrap the cut with a band-aid or take medication to suppress symptoms of the flu, but you would heal without these things just as well. The innate healing powers that each of our bodies possess are far greater than that of any pharmaceutical company’s drug or doctor’s skill. They are far greater than anything that we can invent through scientific knowledge or technological ability. We possess healing powers that are nothing less than miraculous.

            Today, new scientific paradigms are replacing old views that have been the foundation of medical science for the last few hundred years. They are changing the way that we are able to understand the human body, and, in fact, are changing the way that we understand the world. Interestingly, many of these scientific findings, which are new to us in the Western world, support what non-European cultures have been claiming to be true for ages. This emerging worldview deals with parts of our environment that are not dense enough for most of us to see or touch, but are as real as those which we can. The presence of an energy field in and around the human body, and the recognition that thoughts and emotions are as tangible as our physical body with real substance and power in our lives, are some of the truths that are being brought to light by new scientific philosophies and technologies. These facts have been studied by some Western scientists for years, but recent abilities to prove them are resulting in their slow, but widespread, acceptance among the medical community. Well-known and respected physicians such as M. Ted Morter, D.C., Deepok Chopra, M.D., Richard Gerber, M.D., Candace Pert, Ph.D., Andrew Weil, M.D., and Christiane Northrup, M.D., all work to educate the public through books and lectures about the exciting future of medicine.

            This new worldview is really not very different from the old view; the field of vision has simply expanded. The old view understands the world as various forms of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. The new paradigm recognizes the world as energy that may take innumerable forms. This energy may take form as solid, liquid, gas, or other forms that are even less dense than gas. These forms are not easily detectable with our five senses, and we are just beginning to learn how to detect them with technology. For lack of a better term, these forms are simply referred to as “energy”, as they have not taken on a recognizable form of matter. Nevertheless, we are able to know that they are there, just as we accept their existence. Really, “matter” and “energy” are different terms that define the same thing. According to the new worldview, everything is energy, including matter. Matter is simply energy that is condensed enough that we can touch, hear, see, smell, or taste it. When you hear the term “energy” in our clinic, we are referring to non-material substance.  

Dr. Marianne Hoyle D.C., a resident of the Peoria area for over twenty years, earned her doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic. She is also a diplomate of Morter Healthsystem and her postdoctoral work there has certified her in the practice of Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) since 1990. Her personal experience, initiated through her son's health journey, has greatly contributed to her viewpoints on health and disease. She is currently in a holistic, integrated private practice in Peoria, The Family Wellness Institute.
