The TransFormative Medicine System™ (TFM) is a distinct system of holistic healing developed by Terry Shirvani, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. TFM integrates ancient healing wisdom with modern advances in science and is transformational in nature. It exists in a context of wholeness and encourages and facilitates breakthroughs in well being, rather than fixing something that is wrong. The TFM system always works with the healing power within you to support and enhance your inherent healing ability. TFM is a synergy of seven major healing systems from around the world: Ayurveda, Classical Chinese Medicine, Homeopathic Medicine, Hawaiian Shamanism (Huna), The Enneagram, Human Software Engineering, and Music-as-Medicine. The principles of TFM were derived from these major systems and form the foundation for its healing practices. The purpose of TFM is to empower you to get well and stay well!

One evening I grasped the handle of an iron pan that, unknown to me, had just been in a 450 degree oven for an hour. My hand and fingers were immediately seared. Instinctively I ran cold water over my hand for several minutes. It immediately blistered to the point of breaking the skin and beginning to bleed. The burn was intense. I called Dr. Terry who immediately came over and applied a homeopathic remedy to the burn. Within five minutes the pain was gone. I was astounded as I thought this would be a very painful and serious injury. Within two pain free days the skin of my fingers and hand had completely healed with no blisters, scars or sign of the burn. Terry is truly a master in homeopathic medicine and my scar-free left hand is an ongoing reminder of the power of natural medicine and self-healing.

The Importance of Healthy Digestion

by Terry R. Shirvani, N.D.

According to Naturopathic medicine, proper digestion is the foundation of health and well being.   What we ingest is key, but how our bodies deal with what we ingest is even more vital.  It is said in Ayurveda, the oldest medical system on the planet, that a person with weak digestion can turn nectar into poison while a person with strong digestion can turn poison into nectar.  To the ancient Vedic sages, optimal digestion was all-important!

Fundamental to proper digestion are digestive enzymes.  Enzymes are biological catalysts.  Without them, our bodies could not complete the numerous biochemical reactions necessary to sustain daily life.  The human body produces two types of enzymes: digestive and metabolic.  Digestive enzymes are essentially responsible for the breakdown of food into nutrients the body can absorb.  Metabolic enzymes play a critical role in such functions as immune support, tissue maintenance and repair, and hormone production.
