Street in Greenville. Cost of the luncheon is $9.00 per person.
PERI members are encouraged to bring guests and nonmembers are
encouraged to attend who have retired under the Ohio Public Employees'

exploring alternative methods to prevent or treat their health issues.

Vivian Nieport, Attendance and Contact Chairman, at (937) 548-3961.
PERI members will be contacted directly by the PERI calling committee.
Patients of Dr. Studebaker may call his office if they wish to attend.
As a licensed Medical Doctor and Holistic Specialist, Dr. Studebaker's
illustrated program will not only include how he balances traditional
medicine with alternatives that include nutrition, but he will also
focus on his intensive research with vitamins, particularly vitamins D
and K.
Today, many doctors are specializing in diseases that impact
particular parts of the body such as heart, kidney, blood and
neurological diseases to name a few. As a result, patients with
multiple health issues end up with multiple specialists with each
prescribing one or more prescription drugs. If these drugs are
not carefully coordinated and monitored, they can become ineffective,
counterproductive and even dangerous.
By comparison and as Dr. Studebaker will point out, Holistic
Specialists treat each patient as a whole person by looking at the
individual's overall physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well
being before recommending treatment. More importantly, they
attempt to prevent illness in the first place by placing a greater
emphasis on proper nutrition and avoidance of substances such as
chemicals and environmental contaminants that can harm the body.
However, their primary goal is to strengthen the immune system which
leads to improvement in a patient's overall health and well being.
Dr. Studebaker said he first became aware of Holistic Health
Medicine in 2000 when his patients began googling information from the
internet and asking him about alternative treatments that were not
readily available or were considered questionable by the medical
profession. Rather than being skeptical and ignoring their
requests, he decided to remain open minded and conduct his own
investigation into these treatments, he said.
After attending a seminar conducted by the American Board of
Integrative Holistic Medicine (ABIHM) he said he was so impressed
that he became Board Certified in 2005 and recertified in 2014 to
practice holistic and integrative Holistic Medicine along with his
traditional practice. As a result, he represents a minority of
doctors who offer both Holistic and traditional treatments.
Because of his diversity of treatments, he has become a popular and
much in demand speaker. According to the PERI Board of Trustees,
his program on August 1, will be a wonderful opportunity for PERI
members and others to obtain new ideas and valuable information for
their own health and welfare as well as that of their family members
and acquaintances.
