About Dr. Irish
Hi ! My name is Dr. Alva Irish, also known as Nine Crows.
I am part Cherokee, Chickasaw and Shoshone. My Aunt Colleen gave me
the name Nine Crows, as my Clan People name.
That was because when I was born, Nine Crows were outside the Hospital
Window making all kinds of Racket and followed my Mother home from
the hospital. They have been with me ever since.
I was born in Liberty, Texas, the heart of Petroleum country.
Liberty is the home of the Liberty Oil fields, which leak Natural gas
fumes into the open air, 24 hours a day.
So many people around Liberty were constantly ill from it, I became
interested in Health at a very early age, and have been using and
studying Homeopathics since I was 13.
In 1982 I met and married Joe Baumgartner, a Photographer for N.A.S.A.,
and one of the most famous fashion photographers in New York City.
After moving in l996 to our Dairy Goat Farm in the Midwest, My husband
Joe and I were poisoned with Carbon monoxide by a faulty Heater.
Because of the damage to our bodies caused by the odorless gas, we were
given the edict, "Get your affairs in order!".
I was also Diagnosed with Erythropoetic Protoporphyria (EPP),
Diabetes and Angeoedema, the poisoning triggered to
active Genetic Diseases I didn't know I even had. The EPP,
which causes an extreme sensitivity to light and chemicals was
triggered into action by the Stress from the poisoning.
I was told bluntly, that I was going to die, that I could never take
antibiotics, or any medicines of any kind again, and that there was
no hope, no cure for my condition. This was because the Porphyrias
affected my Liver, and almost all antibiotics and medicines are
excreted through that crucial Organ.
Well, I thought otherwise. I had to hurry to get the education I
needed to Heal myself and my family, and I had no time!!!
Having already spent years on my education, but seeing no need to
hurry to finish the Credits needed to get my Degrees before all this
happened, I quickly went to work and finished my Education through
the Clayton College of Natural Health, The American Institute of
Holistic Theology, and the British Institute of Homeopathy,
finishing the credits and earning my Phd, DHM, DN, and DD, even
though I was very ill.
From the British Institute of Homeopathy, in addition to finishing my
education there, I went on to win the coveted Silver medal for making
the Highest Honors in Scholastics. They awarded me the title to use of
FBIH.
I made a promise to Spirit that if I did in fact survive, in return,
I would do everything I could to find Treatments and Cures for
so-called Incurable and Genetic diseases using Alternative means,
in order to help others in the same situation as I now found myself.
So I set up a 501(c)(3) tax exempt Foundation dedicated to finding
Cures and Treatments for Incurable and Genetic Diseases using
Alternative methodology only. It is called "Center for Mankind
Foundation, Inc" and is located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
(South Carolina Tax exemption #6743 Fed 501(C)(3)Pend. )
The Foundation accepts Grants, Gifts, and Bequeaths.
There are donation buttons on my Website.
I chose to specialize in Homeopathy because Homeopathics are not
excreted by the liver, so they were completely safe for me and Joe
to take. I polished my skill in using them so that I latenized all
of my and my husband's symptoms, spurring Social Security into sending
me a letter telling me, "Your Health has Improved" and removing me
from the disabled list!
This to a person with an incurable Genetic condition!
I now maintain an active On-Line Homeopathic / Naturopathic Practice
in South Carolina, and do Long Distance Homeopathic Research, without
the need of prospective clients having to travel all the way to my
office for an appointment.
I do the online treatments because when I was so ill, it was an
extreme effort even to go to the grocery store, much less travel a
long distance to go see a practitioner.
And if I DID go, all I would do is sit in their office, give them
the samples they requested and answer questions about my symptoms.
Then I would be sent home, only to come back after the practitioner
did all the research on their time.
My visit back would cumulate in them giving me a prescription which I
had to fill myself.
Why? I thought??? Why did I have to go OUT to see some one, as sick
as I was???
I wished there was someone that would just do everything I needed
on-line, someone to whom I could just send my samples and symptoms
to that would evaluate everything and stay with me so I could heal.
There was no one at all.
When I made myself better, I decided to give that kind of service to
everyone else so they would be able to have Homeopathic and
Naturopathic care without having to leave the comfort of their own
home.
IN my On-line practice I receive the samples and waivers thru the mail
and set up a time to do the Rubric interview over the telephone.
I then email the results back to the client and the work up is done.
I stay with my clients until they are better, doing follow up checks,
and rechecks until they are balanced.
I also have an agreement, which can be paid in one lump sum that
would make me your family practitioner for life, with as many
questions and rechecks that you want. Ask me about it!
I am currently doing Research for the Porph-Alternatives Group,
finding Homeopathic treatments to alleviate the pain and suffering
of others with Porphyria, and am also working with Project Hope,
with their Autistic Children, and a group Dedicated to helping
those with Hepatitis and other Liver Diseases..
I have made myself available to talk with you any time and work
seven days a week. Consultations are by appointment. I am a Premier
Expert in Homeopathy at allexperts.com and was nominated as Volunteer
of the Month for May 2001, by Allexperts.com for doing the Best Job
as a Homeopathic Expert.
I have been asked why I do this?
You want to know why?
Because I LOVE it!
I love to hear my clients tell me how much better they feel, and I
love it when I see how they become happy and healthy again because
of my help.
An Update: Joe and I were in an auto accident in 1998. Joe went through the windshield and developed Parkinson's from the blow. I broke the end of my spine off and twisted my L5 backwards.
I no longer look like my picture because I can't move much. I gained some weight. Joe died in a nursing home from having water withheld from him in Hendersonville, NC. I met and married Bart Arrowood a well known American Indian painter in 2006. He treats me like a queen.
