Disillusioned with conventional medicine, Dr. Jane Semple, MA, ND earned her Master's Degree from Case Western Reserve, graduating first in her class in 1984. She completed a dual Doctorate in Naturopathy and Naturopathic Ministry from Trinity College of Natural Health, and became the first in the area to complete her Naturopathic Doctorate and become nationally board certified. Dr. Semple was a professor at Cuyahoga Community College for six years and Baldwin-Wallace College for three years. She developed an Anatomy and Physiology module for Trinity College.

In November 1987 Dr. Semple founded the Alternative Healing Center in North Olmsted, Ohio to advise clients on lifestyle, dietary, supplemental, and emotional changes they can make to alleviate their health challenges. Dr. Semple has been listed in Who's Who of American Women since 1985, and Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare since 2004. In April 2005, she was honored as a Woman of Achievement. We met with Dr. Semple recently, and listened as she offered this overview of the services Alternative Healing Center provides;

Alternative Healing Center tailors the healing modality to the needs of the individual and methods effective for both chronic and acute health issues. We treat children and adults and believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself when given an appropriate internal and external healing environment. Trained in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, herbology, and nutrition, we evaluate patients using non-invasive methods such as iridology and face, tongue, and nail analysis.

I help patients with everything from digestive issues and respiratory ailments to colds and viruses. I recommend treating these conditions naturally with plant, fruit, and flower extracts. As a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, I believe that disease is a consequence of a number of lifestyle and nutritional choices, and the key to reversing the disease process is to revitalize the body's tissues enabling the body to heal itself.

Along with four other Naturopathic Doctors, I hold classes at the Alternative Healing Center, in addition to Polaris Career Center in Middleburg Heights, Polarity Wellness Center in North Olmsted, Lorain County Community College, and Parma Hospital Community Education Center. Class topics include a variety of subjects, such as The Sugar Trap, How to Create Emotional Longevity, Natural Remedies for Viruses, Genetic Nutritioneering, Iridology, Herbal Certification, and Face, Tongue, and Nail Analysis.

Alternative Healing Center carries the Nature's Sunshine line of herbs and health supplements. With access to nearly 600 top quality products, 450 of which we carry in stock, we can tailor a wellness program to address most conditions and illnesses.

I have authored seven books in the Woodland Publishing Health Series, including Alzheimer Disease, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol & Inflammation, Fertility, HPV & Cervical Dysplasia, Influenza, and Parkinson Disease. These books are available at a modest cost by calling the Alternative Healing Center at (440) 777-2665 or Woodland Publishing in Utah at (800) 777-2665.

Recently, disenchantment with doctors trained in pharmaceutical drugs and invasive surgery has led many people to once again begin exploring and embracing remedies found in nature. Call or stop by Alternative Healing Center today, and don't forget to tell them The Fairview Park, Ohio Community Advocate sent you!
