“We are naturally endowed with the raw materials and instincts to manifest health and we do so easily when we live under the right conditions.”.
Dr. Asa Frey has been co-director of the Back to the Garden Clinic since its inception in 2014. Dr. Frey has a Bachelor of Science from Boston University where he studied television and film, a doctorate in chiropractic and is an active member of the International Association of Hygienic Physicians. Dr. Frey's practices were formerly known as natural hygienic medicine, which is the study of the natural laws of life and how they relate to disease and our health. Natural hygienic medicine is defined as the branch of biology that designates the conditions on which our state of health depends and the means by which we can maintain ourselves in complete well-being and purity, while preserving the conditions that favor our state of health.
“I think that we as humans have created an unnecessary state of confusion in everything related to health. We are naturally endowed with the raw materials and instincts to manifest health, and we do so easily when we live under the right conditions. However, when we decide to create bad conditions, the result is bad health. What we need are some basic principles and guidelines that allow us to think for ourselves and make our own informed health decisions. For us at Back to the Garden education is key. Knowing yourself and knowing your body too, there is no need for doctors or specialists to discern the path to recover or maintain health. My role as a teacher and doctor is to guide, facilitate and help create the appropriate conditions for the well-being and health of my patients to materialize.”-Dr Asa Frey
"Dr. Frey believes that when the goal is health, joy, and peace, we are more likely to achieve that goal if we do less, not more."
Dr. Frey's approach is always patient-centered. Its goal is to understand the person suffering from a disease rather than looking for the disease that is manifesting itself. We attribute the success of our patients to the philosophy of our center and its adherence to the basic principles of life. Dr. Frey believes that when the goal is health, joy, and peace, we are more likely to achieve that goal if we do less, not more. For example; take less medication, eat less food, identify less with our social conditioning (thinking, analyzing, and worrying less), participate in fewer activities, rest more, be more attentive, take a moment to breathe, and pay more attention to the present moment.
“I want to understand the underlying causes through a thorough investigation. When we understand why our health is deficient, we will understand how we can achieve our health once more. First we investigate and eliminate the causes of stress, worry, suffering and disease. This search is done with full attention and presence. In this way it leads us towards our true nature, our true being, achieving a life full of vigorous and vibrant health.”
