Thank you for your interest in my blog!
Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a brain or heart surgeon. The thought of saving lives and helping people was something I’ve always wanted to do.
After several years in the military while working at one of the largest hospitals, Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, I decided I did not want to have anything to do with medicine.
Why? Here’s the short version…. I saw how the medical profession was all about drugs and surgery. When I got out of the Air Force, I hurt my back really bad. I met a Chiropractor while taking a Dale Carnegie class. This young Chiropractor noticed right away how my back was messed up. He offered to treat me. I could not believe how much better I felt after just one treatment. After a few more sessions, I felt like new again and knew I had found my calling. I could help others like I had been helped with this drug free all natural approach.
I was not really sure if this was the career I should pursue so I prayed and prayed. Was this going to be my mission in life? Was this my destiny? Was this an answer to my prayers? Or did HE have other plans for me? I wanted to be really sure that I was making the right decision. Time would tell.
The rest, as the saying goes, is history. That was over thirty years ago. I’ve been very blessed to have helped thousands of patients. I’m looking forward to the next thirty years!
I started this blog as a another way of reaching and helping more people become aware of so many natural solutions to pain relief, health and wellness. I have put together a list of some really amazing resources over the years. There are articles on many different health related subjects. I continue to add new posts and links as I find worthwhile information. I also try to answer comments on a weekly basis.
I have also found there are TONS of people on the internet selling you the latest cure for this and that. Buyer BEWARE! These self proclaimed gurus want nothing more than to make a quick buck. There are some good sites out there and you have to know which ones to trust and which ones to be wary of. I have personally bought lots of information on back pain, since that is one of my main interests. Some of these “gurus” have pretty amazing looking websites, videos and will play to your emotions. They will tell you that their system is the “ANSWER” to your prayers, “A CURE TO END YOUR PAIN”. While there are some good tips on some of these websites, many are common sense and then they try to sell you. Some of these people, if not most of them, have no medical training. Many of the sites have no “ABOUT” page to learn who you are dealing with. So with that in mind this was another reason to have this blog.
You can read the longer version about why I decided not to pursue a career as a surgeon….. if you’d like…. in my book, HANGING OUT FOR THE HEALTH OF IT, which will be available soon.
I will leave you with these quotes from some pretty amazing people.
“The First Wealth is Health” ~ Emerson
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas A. Edison
“Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when give the doctor that resides within each patient a chance to go to work.” ~ Albert Schweitzer M.D., 1952 Nobel Peace Prize, theologian, organist, philosopher, physician and medical missionary.

Greetings Dr Gonzalez!
Thank you for taking the time to not only read my blog, but posting a comment as well. It is greatly appreciated.
In addition to my work in assisting others with their life vocations, I also market health and wellness products, and write a wellness blog. The url for that blog is http://dominicmogavero.com/dom. I totally agree with you comment that it “is better to exhaust natural treatments FIRST before resorting to prescription drugs or surgery”.
It would be wonderful for me if I could feature one of your blog posts on my blog, and of course provide links back to your site.
Let me know your thoughts.
Blessings…Dom
I think Edison is right about the role of prevention in the future, but with some accidents that can occur, I think there would be a role for surgeons in the future always.
Tyciol….there will always be a role for surgeons now and in the future. Surgeons perform many life saving and remarkable limb attaching and other amazing surgeries today. But since it’s BIG MONEY, it is so unfortunate that drugs and surgery are so over utilized and in many cases unnecessary. I was almost a victim of an unnecessary shoulder surgery after a motorcycle accident where the Emergency Room doctors told me I needed to have surgery when I knew I did not need it. I was also able to prevent a knee surgery to a torn meniscus using Nikken Magnets.
Astonishingly helpful post. Me & my mother have been preparing to attempt a bit of research concerning that. We got a good publication on that issue through our own community library and most books are not as detailed as your information. Im very grateful to discover such info which I had been searching for a very long time.
Congratulations on having 1 of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! You’ve put collectively a wonderful blog space –great graphics, content, layout. This is absolutely a must-see blog!

Hey Dr. Carlos,
It’s so amazing to me the directions we go in life! I agree with everything you said. Our bodies have the power to heal, if we were just taught that we’s do doing more and believeing more in our own capabilities. Thank you for sharing!
