Honoring Dr. Anton Jayasuriya’s legacy—treating 2.5M patients gratis, training 40,000 practitioners, and authoring 97 works—this 400+ page resource unifies acupuncture, Homoeopuncture, and 107 Marma points for pain, immunity, and vitality. Aligned with WHO’s 2025–2034 TCIM Strategy, it addresses access gaps (61% global modern care in 2022) via non-invasive protocols.

“Jayasuriya’s fusion revolutionized healing; we revive it with Marma and SomaVeda® for today’s chronic challenges,” said Dr. James, Grand Master Thai Ajahn and Dean, American College of Natural Medicine.

“Point therapies transform allergies and inflammation, our guide provides precise, ethical maps,” added Dr. Tano, Integrative Immunity founder.

Step-by-step treatment protocols for over 100 conditions, from migraines and infertility to autoimmune disease and emotional trauma. Includes 20 original illustrations by Dr. Anthony B. James.
The homeopathic remedies matched to each point, with instructions for applying them in homeopuncture and integrative protocols.

Press Release! New SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Book: SOMAVEDA® HEALING PROTOCOLS: A Groundbreaking Natural Recovery Blueprint

Press Release: SOMAVEDA® HEALING PROTOCOLS: A Groundbreaking Natural Recovery Blueprint for Post-COVID, Vaccine, and Booster Symptoms

New Textbook Empowers Healthcare Providers and Individuals with Evidence-Informed, Holistic Strategies Rooted in Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

[Brooksville, Florida – October 25, 2025] — In a world where over 80% of the global population relies on traditional and complementary medicine for primary healthcare—according to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates—comes a timely resource addressing the lingering impacts of COVID-19, vaccines, and boosters. We are thrilled to announce the release of “SOMAVEDA® HEALING PROTOCOLS: Natural Recovery After COVID, Vaccines, and Boosters with Ayurveda, Thai Yoga, Integrative Medicine and Protocols to Reclaim Health” (ISBN: 979-8359022765), a pioneering textbook co-authored by Dr. Anthony B. James, ND(T), MD(AM), OMD, RAAP, and Dr. Benoit Tano, MD, PhD. This comprehensive guide is now available for purchase on Amazon: Purchase Link: https://amzn.to/42W3gmm).

Drawing on the synergistic power of SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies®, a U.S.-patented system blending Indigenous Traditional Thai Yoga, Ayurveda, Marma Chikitsa (vital point therapy), and evidence-based integrative approaches—the book provides step-by-step protocols for symptom relief, immune restoration, and holistic recovery. Tailored for physicians, naturopaths, yoga therapists, and wellness practitioners, it tackles common post-viral challenges such as chronic fatigue, inflammation, neurological fog, and autoimmune flares through non-invasive, culturally resonant methods. With only 61% of the global population accessing reliable modern healthcare services in 2022 (WHO data), this resource bridges the gap, emphasizing accessible, patient-centered strategies that honor the 6.4 billion people worldwide who turn to traditional systems for vitality and resilience.

“This book is more than a recovery manual—it’s a blueprint for reclaiming sovereignty over one’s health in an era of unprecedented medical complexity,” said Dr. Anthony B. James, Grand Master of Thai Traditional Ayurveda and Dean of the American College of Natural Medicine. “By integrating ancient protocols like Thai Yoga Therapy and Marma Chikitsa with contemporary Integrative Immunology, we empower individuals to address root causes, not just symptoms, fostering true healing and prevention.”

Dr. Benoit Tano MD, PhD, a board-certified allergist-immunologist and founder of Integrative Immunity Health System, adds, “Post-COVID and vaccine-related immune dysregulation affects millions, often overlooked by conventional models. Our protocols leverage probiotics, peptides, and Ayurvedic balancing to restore harmony, drawing from my 25+ years in allergy and hormone optimization. This collaboration with Dr. James exemplifies integrative medicine’s potential to transform chronic illness into opportunity.”

Key highlights of the 300+ page volume include:

– Diagnostic Frameworks: Tools to assess dosha imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and biopathy (energetic armoring) in post-viral contexts.

– Hands-On Protocols: Over 50 illustrated SomaVeda® techniques, including pranic healing, lymphatic drainage, and Homeopuncture for pain reversal and vitality.

– Immune Mastery Strategies: Insights on postbiotics, peptides, and herbal synergies, informed by Dr. Tano’s expertise in mast cell activation and histamine intolerance.

– Case Studies and Evidence: Real-world applications from NAIC Natural Wellness Solutions Tribal Wellness Center, supporting WHO’s call for TCIM integration in national health systems.

Published by Meta Journal Press, the book aligns with the WHO’s 2025–2034 Global Traditional Medicine Strategy and advocates for an equitable, evidence-based fusion of ancient and modern care. It builds on Grand Master Dr. James’s 42+ years as the first Western Ajahn (Master Teacher-Professor) recognized by the Royal Thai Government and Dr. Tano’s global lectures for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).

Press Release! Decoding AI Bias In Medicine

July 17, 2025July 11, 2025 by Thai1on

Decoding AI Bias In Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing,

Faculty of the American College of Natural Medicine releases new Medical Textbook!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Meta Journal Press Announces Groundbreaking New Book:

“Decoding AI Bias in Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing”

Brooksville, FL, July 4, 2025 — Meta Journal Press proudly announces the release of Decoding AI Bias in Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing, a pioneering work by Dr. Anthony B. James and Dr. Benoit Tano. The book is now available worldwide in print and Kindle ebook formats on Amazon.

Decoding AI Bias in Medicine confronts one of the most urgent challenges in modern healthcare: the hidden biases embedded in artificial intelligence (AI) systems used for clinical decision-making. As AI becomes increasingly central to diagnostics, treatment planning, and healthcare policy, this book reveals how current models often overlook or marginalize traditional, indigenous, and holistic healing practices, perpetuating disparities and limiting equitable care.

Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, Dr. James and Dr. Tano provide a comprehensive analysis of how AI bias originates, from data collection and model development to real-world deployment—and its profound implications for diverse patient populations. The authors critically examine why AI systems frequently fail to capture the cultural, historical, and social contexts of non-Western healing traditions, and how this oversight can exacerbate health inequities^[1]^[2]^[3].

Key topics include:

The lifecycle of AI bias in medicine and its clinical consequences^[1]^[2].
Case studies illustrating the exclusion of traditional and indigenous knowledge from AI-driven healthcare.
Strategies for integrating holistic healing perspectives into future AI models.
Recommendations for clinicians, policymakers, and technologists to ensure AI supports truly inclusive and equitable care^[4]^[3].

This essential volume is a call to action for the medical and AI communities to recognize and address the limitations of current technologies. It advocates for a future where artificial intelligence enhances—not hinders—access to the full spectrum of healing traditions.

Decoding AI Bias in Medicine is available for purchase at Amazon in both print and Kindle ebook editions.

Vitality Wellness Screening Services at NAIC Tribal Health Center

March 2, 2024March 2, 2024 by Thai1on

NAIC: Priory of Saving Grace: St. John Point-of-Care

Natural Wellness Solutions

Offering Indigenous Health Care & Wellness Screening Services “Rapid Checkups!”

St. John Point of Care Vitalology Wellness screening — Dr. J is ready for the clinic!

Standard Clinic Donation for Full Wellness: Rapid Checkup!® Vitality Screening: $150.00 (By appointment only)

The Native American Indigenous Church “NAIC” proudly offers our Native Tribal Organization members a full spectrum of wellness screening assessments.

Obtain a wellness and health checkup within 30 to 45 minutes, and have your results sent instantly to your inbox. Find out your glucose, cholesterol, uric acid levels, pH balance, heart health (ECG), arterial health, liver and kidney function, and other parameters quickly.

Metabolic syndrome X today is epidemic. “Insulin resistance syndrome,” “American syndrome,” and “syndrome X” are synonyms for the term metabolic syndrome X. Diabetes means that your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high while your energy levels are low. Full-blown metabolic syndrome X also means you have high blood pressure, cholesterol, and abdominal obesity.

When you visit a doctor for a ‘checkup,’ it is foremost on his mind. The term “metabolic” refers to the biochemical processes involved in the body’s normal functioning. A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms tested that are correlated with each other and often exist with a particular disease or disorder. Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raise your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke. Risk factors are traits, conditions, or lifestyle habits, like diet, that increase your chance of developing a disease. Our vital screening battery of tests measures those risk factors in less than 15 minutes and instantly sends the results to your inbox.

The risk for diabetes increases with age, making diabetes common in older adults. Most adults by age 60 are pre-diabetic, and over 25% are diabetic.

Point of Care “Rapid Checkups!” Wellness testing is well-established in the International Medical World. “P.O.C.T.” has become established worldwide^[13] and finds vital roles in public health.^[14] Many monographs in the Thai^[15]^[16] and Indonesian ^[17] languages emphasize POCT as the expected standard of care in a disaster situation.

Potential operational benefits include more rapid decision-making and triage, reduced operating times, high dependency, postoperative care time, emergency room time, number of outpatient clinic visits, number of hospital beds required, ensuring optimal use of professional time and reduced antimicrobial medication.”

Please note N.A.I.C.: SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Ayurveda and Indigenous Traditional Medicine are not just ancient healing arts and sciences with deep roots in the past! Our practice is well established in these modern times. It is elegant, sophisticated, and evolving. One of the primary modern adaptations is current scientific analysis and wellness screening to support traditional native (aboriginal) medicine and healing practices.

All tests are performed by a Certified Vitalologist Technician and or Monastic Medical Doctor (NAIC Authorized LCHT Holistic Services Provider: Medicine Man or Woman).

Your Vitality Wellness Screening Assessments may include some or all of these tests.

Any imbalance or deficiency of sunlight, air, water, and food will weaken the body and, in time, perish. The fundamental of our philosophy we call vitalology™.

Vitalists subscribe to the use of health-building foods, herbs, minerals, waters, flowers, seeds, barks, roots, and essential oils in their natural state, sunshine, fresh air, bathing, as well as exercise, meditation, sunbathing, prayer, dance, chirothesia, and other vitalistic arts.

Stretching Towards the Heavens, Christian Insights into Yoga Therapy:

Yoga Therapy incorporates various physical and mental practices to promote overall health. Yoga therapy is an increasingly popular approach to holistic well-being. However, some Christian practitioners have expressed concerns about the compatibility of yoga-yoga Therapy with their faith. In examining this topic, it is essential to explore the biblical concept of Chirothesia, which refers to the laying on of hands for healing.

Surprisingly, Yoga Therapy can be seen through the lens of Chirothesia, and this highlights its potential as a healing practice for Christian practitioners. Christian believers have expressed concerns about Yoga’s origins in Eastern spiritual traditions and its potential conflicts with their faith.

These concerns often revolve around the fear of compromising Christian beliefs and values.

However, it is essential to approach this topic with an open mind and seek understanding. When considering the practice of Yoga Therapy, we find a striking parallel to the biblical concept of Chirothesia. Chirothesia involves the physical touch and prayerful intervention for healing.

This biblical term is mentioned in various passages in the New Testament, such as in Mark 16:18, where Jesus instructs his followers that believers will lay hands on the sick for their healing. Drawing this connection between Yoga Therapy and Chirothesia invites us to explore the potential harmonies between these practices.

Examine the Foundations

By examining the foundational principles of yoga therapy and understanding the healing aspects of the Yoga Therapy practice, we can discern how it can align with Christian values and beliefs.

This book will delve into the foundations of Christ-centered Yoga Therapy, its healing benefits, and its principles that are shared with Christian teachings. We will also explore how Christ-centered yoga Therapy is adapted to accommodate Christian beliefs and intentions.

By seeking guidance from Christian yoga-Christ-Centered practitioners who have integrated their faith into their practice, we can understand how yoga therapy is a methodology of Chirothesia (Hands-on Healing, Meditation, and Religious Therapeutics) for Christian practitioners.

Ultimately, this booklet provides a perspective encouraging thoughtful exploration and dialogue among Christian practitioners.

We consider the potential compatibility between Christ-centered and Chirothesia. We discover how these practices complement and contribute to Christian individuals’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
