At McCaffrey Health Center’s offices in Springfield, IL, we are interestedin helping our clients restore normal function and find perfect health. This has been mankind’s quest throughout the centuries, and many cultures have contributed tot he global knowledge base for howto keep healthy. This knowledge is passed down from generation to generation and has much to offer and teach us.

What is Indigenous Medicine?

Indigenous Medicine is the collective knowledge of the healing arts of any given culture, gathered over thousands of years and used for the benefit of a local community. Because healing was local for most of humanity’s existence, different remedies, global treatment styles or healing modalities were developed in different parts of the globe and passed down throughout the ages from father to son or from an elder shaman to a younger tribesman.

Dr. Sean McCaffrey has pursued the strongest indigenous medical masters and studied over 13 different types of indigenous medicine or global treatment styles with mentors from around the world, including:

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Korean Medicine
Ayurveda (Indian)
Persian (also known as Unami or Iranian)

Irish Bone Setting
English Bone Setting
Russian Bone Setting
Folk Medicine

Irish Indigenous
Greek Medicine
Native American Medicine

This decades-long cross-cultural study of global treatment styles allows us to see similarities across multiple cultures, which ensures that we recommend the most globally-recognized treatment options to address health issues that affect people from all cultures. In addition, by studying the best that every great world culture has to offer, we can share the most closely guarded secret remedies from the corners of the globe and develop individual treatment plans that bring the best thinking in the world and multiple global treatment styles to bear for your unique health care needs.

How Does Indigenous Medicine Differ From Mainstream Modern Medicine?

Modern mainstream medicine certainly builds off of centuries of healing knowledge, but often, modern medicine may dismiss centuries-old successful treatments or global treatment styles because of modern prejudices or short-sighted thinking.

In addition, indigenous medicine usually advocates harmonizing with nature rather than trying to dominate nature. Practitioners of indigenous medicine (including the experts at McCaffrey Health Center) believe that there is an energy in the body (much like that described in Einstein’s famous equation, E=MC2), an energy that should be respected, honored and supported versus trying to control it, manipulate it and dictate what it does

Modern mainstream medicine has a role. It’s wonderful at acute traumatic care. It’s wonderful at infectious disease. The problem is, that is not what’s killing all of us today. All you have to do is go to the World Health Organizations’ website, look up the United States of America, and they will list for you the top killers in 2016 in the United States. And they will go through subject by subject, piece by piece.

And what they list on there is that 88% of all causes of mortality and death in this country were chronic degenerative conditions. Modern mainstream medicine is not designed to handle those types of conditions. They’re designed to handle acute traumatic care. Indigenous medicines were designed to handle chronic, degenerative diseases. The problem is, many in modern society have minimized the value of indigenous medicines, belittling the benefit they have brought to cultures throughout the millenia. McCaffrey Health Center advocates for patients to harmonize with nature and restore perfect health as naturally as possible.

Do Various Global Treatment Styles Work?

Yes! Indigenous medicine heals.

Many people think, if it weren’t for modern medicine, we’d all be dead right now. But the reality of it is modern mainstream medicine has only been around for about 100 – 150 years. How did we make it the first 10,000 years then? How did people survive?

The argument has always been, “Well, you know, everyone died when they were 30.” And that’s not really the case. Look at the founding fathers of our country alone: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin. None of those guys died before 65. They all were older than that. Some lived to be close to 100.

Today’s mainstream medical community is supported throughout all Western communities, but the medical system that is accepted across the board in this country is not helping people at the rate they should be. That’s why indigenous healthcare, indigenous medicine, indigenous therapies, therapies that have been used for thousands of years, in the opinion of Dr. Sean, should be in the home of everybody that’s breathing on this planet.

We have the expertise and worldwide knowledge of many indigenous medical treatment options and global treatment styles to best suit your individual need. We are confident in our ability to bring about permanent healing to your most challenging issues.

If you have a challenge you’d like us to support you with, please give us a call.
