Author advocates natural remedies in new book ‘Living Wellness Today’

BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) February 20, 2015

After dealing with her own health issues, author Annette Denton Livingston began investigating natural treatments as a way of avoiding doctors and prescription drugs. As she began using these natural remedies, she found that she felt better than she had using pharmaceuticals with a variety of side effects.

“Living Wellness Today: One Woman’s Search for Healing” (published by AuthorHouse) combines Livingston’s research and experience using natural remedies as opposed to synthetic drugs.

“This book is about using the natural medicines that God has provided for us as opposed to man-made drugs with numerous side effects and sometimes even death,” Livingston says.

Livingston believes her book will appeal to anyone who is looking for an alternative to treat physical maladies. She points out in her book that more people are looking to natural alternatives in order to keep potentially harmful chemicals out of their bodies. Livingston supports her argument using anecdotal evidence of her own experience with natural medicine.

“I hope my book will help the readers realize that there are alternatives to prescription drugs and God has used these to help us with the different health issues that so many of us may have,” Livingston says.

Global Spa Industry Now Valued at Billion; Thermal/Mineral Springs Market at Billion; Wellness Tourism Rises to 4 Billion

(PRWEB) September 18, 2014

At last week’s Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) in Marrakesh, Morocco, the organization’s independent, non-profit research partner, SRI International, released top findings from the most comprehensive data yet on the global wellness market. This included refreshed data on the spa and wellness tourism markets, and the first research to size and analyze the global thermal/mineral springs segment.

Key takeaways:

The spa industry grew 58% from 2007-2013: from billion to billion, with a 47% growth in spa locations, to reach 105,591 spas
The thermal/mineral springs industry is a billion market, spanning 26,847 properties
Wellness tourism expanded to 4 billion in revenues, rising 12.5% from 2012-2013 – significantly outpacing SRI’s original growth forecast of 9%.

“It has been six long years since our first spa industry research report, and to see nearly 60% growth across years marked by global financial collapse was as impressive as it was unexpected. Also exceeding our expectations: the growth in the wellness tourism market last year and the sheer scope of the thermal/mineral springs industry,” said Ophelia Yeung, senior consultant, Center for Science, Technology & Economic Development, SRI. “And key economic and demographic trends, we predict, will continue to fuel growth for these three segments, including the rise of the global middle class (at two billion people now, but expected to skyrocket to five billion by 2030); ongoing, phenomenal momentum for tourism, generally; millions more people each year proactively seeking a ‘wellness lifestyle’; and the story of developing markets, and so many new properties, across Asia, Middle East/Africa and Latin America.”

More findings:

Global Spa Industry: Near 0 Billion Market – With Over 100K Spas

SRI International’s calculations for core spa industry revenues put spa facility revenues at the center, but also include businesses directly, critically associated with spas, including spa investment capital and spa-focused education, consulting and media/associations/events.

Breakdown of the current billion spa industry: spa facilities billion, spa investment capital billion, spa education 0 million, spa media/education/events 0 million, and spa consulting 0 million
From 2007-2013, spa locations grew 47%: from 71,762 to 105,591

Regional Spa Industry Leaders & Growth 2007-2013

Europe: .8 billion (+62%)

Asia-Pacific: .8 billion (+65%)

North America: .3 billion (+35%)

Latin America/Caribbean: .7 billion (+86%)

Middle East/North Africa: .7 billion (+134%)

Sub-Saharan Africa: 0 million (+186%)

Europe retains its 2007 crown as the world’s largest spa market. And, notably, Asia-Pacific has since leapfrogged North America as the world’s second largest. And if Europe boasted the most spa locations in 2007 (22,607), Asia-Pacific now holds that title with 32,400+ spas today.

The spa revenue growth explosion is concentrated in emerging markets, with Sub-Saharan Africa ranking #1 (+186%) and Middle East/North Africa ranking #2 (+134%), both fast-developing regions that have added many spas from a low, 2007 base. But every region in the world except the mature North American market saw double-digit annual growth rates from 2007 to 2013. And Europe and Asia’s 60%+ growth is particularly impressive given its strong, existing base of spas in 2007.

See the presentation:

Hot Springs Eternal: Ancient Practice Now Billion Market

In places like Europe and Japan, thermal/mineral bathing has an ancient pedigree, and today “taking the waters” goes by dozens of names worldwide: from agua calientes, to balneotherapy, to therma. With a hot/mineral springs resurgence underway (so many countries modernizing old facilities and investing billions in new, springs-based resorts), SRI undertook the first research to size this “millennia-old-but-hot-again” market. While hundreds of thousands of springs occur naturally worldwide, SRI’s research only included revenue-earning springs (i.e., with built facilities).

The global hot springs market is now worth billion, with nearly 27,000 facilities across 103 nations
The research segmented the industry into thermal/mineral springs facilities that offer bathing with spa services, and those without. Those without spa services heavily dominate location-wise, at 20,343 establishments, vs. 6,504 with spa.
But while springs with spa services represent only roughly a third of global establishments, in aggregate they earn more than twice the revenue as springs without spa services: billion vs. billion annually

Hot Springs Markets: Asia & Europe Heavily Dominate

Asia-Pacific: .7 billion

Europe: .7 billion

Latin America: 0 million

North America: 0 million

Middle East/North Africa: 0 million

Sub-Saharan Africa: million

The thermal/mineral springs industry is intensely concentrated: ten countries account for 85% of revenues and Japan and China comprise a staggering 51% of the market (driven by the thousands of onsens in Japan and massive, ongoing investment in resorts in China). The rest of the “top ten” national markets are in Europe, where hydrotherapy has long been part of the medical equation.

More preliminary hot springs data:

Wellness Tourism: Near Half-Trillion-Dollar Market – Up 12.5% from Last Year

SRI’s 2013 report, “The Global Wellness Tourism Economy”, put the wellness-focused travel segment firmly on the map, finding that wellness travel is growing nearly 50% faster than the global tourism overall. For 2014, key numbers are updated:

As a 4 billion industry, wellness tourism represents more than one in seven (14.6%) of all travel dollars spent worldwide
Wellness-focused trips jumped from 524 million to 586.5 million from 2012-2013
Wellness tourists remain big spenders: international wellness travelers spend 59% more than the average border-crossing tourist, while domestic wellness tourists spend 159% more
SRI makes the crucial distinction between “primary” wellness tourists (where wellness is the motivating reason for the trip) and the “secondary” variety (people opting for wellness-related activities as part of a trip). The former remains the more niche group (13% of the market), and primary wellness tourism trips grew 11.2% – while secondary-purpose trips grew 11.9% – last year.
Domestic wellness trips (the lion’s share of the market, at 68% of spend) grew 12.1%, while international trips grew 10.1%.
North America (6.5 billion market, 8% growth 2012-2013) and Europe (8.1 billion, 12% growth) firmly remain the largest markets. But the developing story is again developing nations: Sub-Saharan African wellness tourism grew 57%; Middle East/North African 39%; Asia-Pacific 21% and Latin America 16%, between 2012-2013.

More preliminary wellness tourism data:

More Research Coming: While preliminary findings from the GSWS’s “Global Wellness Economy Monitor” were shared last week, the full report (sizing wider wellness industries like healthy eating/weight loss, preventative/personalized medicine, beauty/anti-aging, complementary/alternative medicine, fitness/mind-body and workplace wellness – as well as providing more detailed data on regional spa and wellness tourism markets – will be released September 30 at a media event in New York City.

Gaithersburg, MD Chiropractor Dr. Greg Swistak of Active Family Chiropractic Offers Workplace Health and Wellness Presentation Series for Washington, DC-Area Employers

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) October 11, 2013

Despite the ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act and a government shutdown, Dr. Greg Swistak of Active Family Chiropractic in Gaithersburg, MD is continuing his mission to help the public learn about health and wellness in the workplace. In addition to running his busy chiropractic family practice, Dr. Swistak has been providing health- and wellness-related presentations to both private and public sector organizations around the region for the last fifteen years. “Around 1998, through discussions with my patients, I realized there was a great deal of interest in what people can do on their own to improve and protect their health” explains Dr. Swistak. “This was before Google was available to help people research these topics on their own. They had no knowledge of chiropractic medicine and few basic strategies to improve their overall health and wellness.”

Dr. Swistak has recently offered workplace presentations in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia on topics such as “Fighting Fatigue”, “Seated Trigger Point Treatments”, and “Backpack Safety and Back Injury Prevention”. And it’s not only the employees who benefit from Dr. Swistak’s presentations. “Companies are looking for ways to educate their employees about health, because a healthier workforce can mean reduced insurance costs and improved productivity across the board. People miss fewer workdays, make fewer medical claims and generally feel better about work and their employer, especially when the employer shows they care about their employees’ well-being.”

Certain presentation topics generate sustained interest among employees, such as weight loss, pain management, and fighting fatigue. Dr. Swistak notes, “Those topics are always in demand. Ergonomics used to be a very hot topic, but it isn’t as popular any more. I believe this is because a lot of companies address ergonomics in-house, both through education and improvements in workplace design. There have been substantial improvements in that area.”

Dr. Swistak believes his on-site presentations can benefit any size company–from the smallest with 10 employees to the largest with thousands. He knows from experience that the key to a successful event is active promotion along with a genuine willingness on the part of management to allow and even encourage employees to make time during the day. “For these presentations to be as beneficial and effective as possible, there needs to be universal support and participation by management, as well as regular reminders about the upcoming events.”

About Dr. Greg Swistak and Active Family Chiropractic

Greg Swistak, D.C. is a member of the Maryland Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. He is also a Fellow of the American Medical Acupuncture Society and a well-known lecturer on complementary and alternative medicine.

Alternative Medicine Telesummit “Wellness Revolution 2” Now Live and Free on the Web

Adoley Odunton, survivor, interviewer

Playa Del Rey, CA (PRWEB) November 2, 2010

One of the largest resources of current information on alternative medicine “Wellness Revolution 2” is now broadcasting live over the internet from budurl.com/wellnessnews for free. Billed by host Adoley Odunton as a global telesummit, it is the second in a series of interviews that has included leading doctors, healers and practitioners of alternative medicine such as pioneers Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Norm Shealy, Dr. Bernie Siegel, Carolyn Myss and Caroline Sutherland.

After surviving a rare disease using alternative medicine, Odunton devoted herself to scouring the Earth for doctors and healers, both traditional and alternative, who were getting results.

“The real breakthrough work right now is in the combination of traditional and alternative medicine. It’s so new that people haven’t even settled on a term. They call it complementary or integrative or alternative medicine but its traditional doctors working with intuitive healers and seeing the body as part of larger systems like quantum and earth energy systems. Suzanne Somers’ bestselling book on cancer, “Knockout”, gives a timely picture of what’s possible such as actually curing once incurable diseases, including some cancers.”

Odunton conceived the interview series as her own health was failing from an “incurable” disease.

“I was at the point where I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. Skin lesions covered my face. Every morning my sheets and pillow were covered with blood.”

Her baffling condition defied diagnosis by over a dozen traditional medical specialists and pushed her to discover her own cure through alternative medicine.

“My doctors finally admitted they didn’t know what was wrong with me. I knew, intuitively, that even if these highly experienced doctors didn’t know, someone, somewhere in the world had an answer. To survive, I had to expand my view of what was possible. Almost immediately, I began to find the answers that I believe saved my life.”

Odunton’s first discovery, a gifted chiropractor in rural Arkansas, Dr. Ted Morter, developed his practice around the observation that blood acidity determined blood oxygen levels and affected general health in many ways. Within a week of arriving at Morter’s clinic, Odunton, was able to get out of bed in the morning and her lesions began to heal. Dr. Morter’s technique included diet modification, an inexpensive dietary supplement of barley grass tablets and bio-energetic exercises.

“That’s when it struck me. Dr. Morter’s simple, inexpensive techniques were just a glimmer of what was happening in medicine. While one side of medical practice was developing incredibly expensive machines and drugs, the other side of alternative medicine was expanding their human tools like diet, medical intuition, healing touch, energy healing and rediscovering ancient practices like qi-gong.”

Odunton hosts her live, one-on-one interview series “Wellness Revolution 2” which is broadcast for free over the internet from budurl.com/wellnessnews

“People all over the world listen to the calls, then ask questions directly to these people, exactly the way I did when I started my journey,” says Odunton. “We interview ayurvedic and ancient Chinese qi-gong masters, medical intuitives like Carolyn Myss, Caroline Sutherland, traditional doctors who have become pioneers in alternative methods like Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Christiane Northrup and Dr. Norm Shealy. Anybody who is getting results, we find them and we talk to them. I still believe that for every disease or condition there is someone out there who is finding an answer.”

Odunton cautions that although the series is free, listeners must register in advance for the limited number of “seats” on each call through the website at – budurl.com/wellnessnews
