New Textbook “The Original Cure” Unveils the Hidden Revolution of Native American Medicine as a Solution for Modern Healthcare Crises
Version 1.0.0
BROOKSVILLE, FL – In a groundbreaking release that bridges the divide between ancient tribal wisdom and modern clinical science, Dr. Anthony B. James presents “The Original Cure, Native Medicine’s Hidden Revolution: Tribal Wisdom’s Enduring Bridge Between Past Ceremonies and Future.”Available now on Amazon, this comprehensive textbook establishes Native American Traditional Indigenous Medicine (NATIM) not merely as cultural history, but as a recognized, sophisticated “Whole Medical System” capable of addressing the chronic diseases that plague modern society.
While modern allopathic medicine excels at acute trauma care, it often fails to cure chronic conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and mental health crises, resorting instead to palliative chemical management. “The Original Cure” offers a radical alternative: a functional medicine blueprint that treats the “Bio-Psycho-Socio-Spiritual” whole.
A Blueprint for Integrative Immunity
A central feature of the book is the adaptation of the T.O.B.I.N. Protocol—an integrative immunity holistic approach originally defined by Dr. Benoit Tano. Dr. James expands this framework to create a clinically robust strategy for NATIM practitioners, addressing the five causative factors of chronic disease:
Toxicity (The Removal of Burdens)
Oxidative Stress (The Fire Control)
Biological Agents (The Parasitic/Viral Link)
Inflammation & Immune (The Defense System)
Nutrition & Neuro-Endocrine (The Fuel & The Mind)
“We are offering the world a functioning, non-lethal, ethically grounded medical system that has survived genocide and suppression to emerge as the healing agent for the 21st century,” writes Dr. James.
From the Reservation to the Urban Clinic
“The Original Cure” serves as an institutional action plan for implementing sovereign healthcare. It provides detailed architectural and operational blueprints for “Future Clinics”—Integrative Wellness Centers that can operate on sovereign tribal land or as urban off-reservation hubs. These centers are designed to utilize “Two-Eyed Seeing,” combining the best of Western diagnostics with Indigenous ceremonial and somatic therapies.
Key Features of the Book Include:
The Legal Fortress: A deep dive into the legal basis for Native American Religious Therapeutics, citing protections under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA).
The Green Pharmacy: A comprehensive guide to the “Green Arsenal” of Indigenous plant medicines, detailing their clinical applications for metabolic and immune health.
Somatic & Adjunct Therapies: Detailed protocols for incorporating Chirothesia (healing touch), sweat lodge therapy (clinical hyperthermia), and sound healing into a clinical environment.
Cultural & Historical Context: An exploration of Indigenous philosophy, anthropology, and the “Genetic Mismatch” that drives modern metabolic plagues.

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).

What is SomaVeda®?
The term first used in 1992: SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies® is a Christ-centered, sustainable, vitalistic therapeutics and counseling/ consulting system that integrates the art and science of ancient and modern worldwide indigenous healing traditions.
Thai Massage is a traditional remedial massage system with roots in Thailand. It’s a holistic approach to Massage that focuses on the body’s natural energy lines, Prana Nadi or Thai Sen Lines, to promote health, healing, recovery, and relaxation. Thai Massage involves gentle stretches, acupressure, and rocking to help relax the body and mind.
Recently, Thai Massage has gained popularity as a form of physical remedy, with people seeking its numerous benefits for the body and mind. Its holistic approach to healing and relaxation makes it a unique and effective remedial therapy for many physical and internal health conditions. Whether you’re looking to relieve muscle injury or spasms, reduce or correct inflexibility, or relax and decompress, Thai Massage may help.
So why is Thai Massage becoming increasingly popular as remedial physical or occupational therapy? One reason may be its ability to address various physical and internal health issues, conditions, and syndromes. Whether dealing with chronic and habitual pain and stress or simply looking to improve your overall health, Thai Massage has the structured protocols and techniques to offer significant benefits. In the following sections, we will further explore some of the main advantages of Thai Massage for physical therapy.
Improved flexibility and range of motion:
One of the main benefits of Thai Massage is its capability to reduce or improve inflexibility and range of motion. Thai Massage achieves this result through gentle Yoga Therapy postures, “stretches” that help to loosen and stretch tight muscles. Improved flexibility can have a range of benefits for overall physical health and health- being, including:
Reduced risk of injury: Stretching helps to increase the range of stir in your joints, which can help to reduce the risk factors of injury during everyday life and physical conditioning. It is crucial for people who engage in regular physical exertion, athletics, or sports, as increased flexibility can help to reduce muscle strains, sprains, and other injuries.
Improved posture: Tight muscles can contribute to poor posture, leading to back pain and other issues. By stretching and loosening these muscles, Thai Massage can help to improve structure and posture while reducing the threat of associated problems.
Enhanced athletic performance: Improved flexibility can also help to support superior performance. By increasing the accessible range of motion in your joints, you may be able to move more efficiently and effectively, leading to better results in your chosen sport or physical activity.
In addition to these benefits, increased flexibility can make you feel better overall. Thai massage is a great option if you want to improve your flexibility and range of motion. Stretching can help to release antagonistic tension and spasms, increasing blood inflow to your muscles and leaving you feeling more relaxed and re-energized.M
2. Reduces muscle tension and chronic pain:
Another crucial benefit of Thai Massage is its ability to reduce muscle tension, spasms, and chronic pain. Physical Therapy benefits of Thai Massage originate through varietal and functional traditional Thai massage techniques that help to loosen tight muscles and promote relaxation.
One possible explanation for the pain-relieving results of Thai Massage is the increased blood flow it can promote. Thai Massage can help to increase blood flow to the muscles, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the area and helping to flush out waste products such as lactic acid. This increased blood flow can help to reduce muscle spasms and promote mending and healing. This high blood flow can also help to mitigate site-specific and overall inflammation.
Thai Massage may also effectively reduce pain due to the release of endorphins, natural painkillers produced by the body. These endorphins can help reduce pain perception, furnishing significant- required relief for those suffering from chronic pain conditions. Overall, Thai Massage can effectively reduce muscle spasms (sympatheticotonia, antagonistic muscle tension) and chronic pain, helping to alleviate motion limitations and promote overall well-being. If you are dealing with muscle tension or chronic pain, try Thai Massage to see if it can relieve you.
3. Reduces muscle tension and chronic pain: Thai massage protocols and techniques can reduce muscle spasms and chronic pain. Applying these interesting Traditional Thai Medicine techniques (Thai Marma Chikitsa) can help relieve muscle spasms by improving blood flow and releasing endorphins, which are natural anodynes or natural painkillers produced by the body. Traditional Thai Massage, also known as “Thai Yoga Therapy,” can give significant- immediate, and long-lasting relief to those suffering from chronic habitual pain. One possible explanation for the pain-relieving effects of Thai Massage is the increased blood flow it promotes. Massage can help to increase blood flow to the muscles, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the area and helping to flush out waste products. This increased blood flow can help to reduce muscle tension and promote healing.
The release of endorphins is another possible mechanism behind the pain-relieving effects of Thai Massage. Endorphins are natural anodynes produced by the body, and their presence can help reduce pain perception. This fantastic healing therapy can relieve those dealing with chronic pain conditions. Overall, Thai Massage can effectively reduce muscle spasms and chronic pain, helping to ease inflexibility and range of stir and promote overall well-being. Once again, If you are dealing with muscle tension or chronic pain, try Thai Massage to see if it can relieve you.
4. Boosts immune system function:
Research has shown that Thai Massage can positively affect the immune system, helping boost its function. A robust immune system is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
There are many possible explanations for the immune-boosting effects of Thai Massage. One is the increased blood flow that the Massage can promote. As mentioned before, Massage can help to increase blood flow to the muscles, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the area and helping to flush out waste products. This increased blood flow may also positively impact the immune system, helping to support its function. Traditional Thai Massage works or treats the entire client’s body. That means the increased blood flow benefit affects the whole body, a systemic gift with all the additional benefits you would expect from a purely local increase of blood flow to a particular part of the body, such as any extremity.
Another possible explanation for the immune-boosting effects of Thai Massage is the relaxation of the body’s stress response. Stress can hurt the immune system, so anything that helps to reduce stress may also help to boost immune function. Thai Massage can be particularly effective at promoting relaxation and reducing stress, making it an excellent choice for those looking to support their immune system. Overall, Thai Massage has the potential to boost immune system function, helping to support overall health and well-being.
5. Promotes relaxation and stress reduction:
In addition to its physical benefits, Thai Massage is known for its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress. This stress reduction effect begins immediately and can continue or last for days after even one therapy session! The gentle stretches and acupressure (Marma Chikitsa) techniques used in the treatment protocols and individual sessions can help relax the mind and body, providing a sense of calm and well-being. Reducing stress can have a range of benefits for overall physical and internal health. Stress can hurt the body, causing problems similar to fatigue, headaches, and muscle spasms. By reducing stress, Thai Massage can help to palliate these symptoms and promote overall health and well-being. In addition to the immediate relaxation and stress-reducing direct effects of Thai Massage, the protocol may also have longer-term benefits. By helping to reduce stress, Thai Massage can improve sleep quality, boost mood, and lower the threat and risk of specific health problems. Thai Massage directly affects positive posture and structural alignment. Misalignments in the body’s structure can cause or contribute to stress. In severe cases, structural misalignments and deviations can directly affect the circulation of any bodily circulations, including innervation, blood flow to organs or extremities, lymphatic drainage, etc. Overall, Thai Massage can be an effective way to promote relaxation and reduce stress, providing and facilitating both immediate and more extended-term benefits for overall physical and internal health.
Conclusion:
Thai Massage offers a range of physical remedy benefits, including reductions of inflexibility and inhibiting free accessible range of motion. It reduces muscle spasms and chronic pain, boosts immune system function, and stimulates relaxation and stress reduction. These benefits make Thai Massage popular for those seeking a holistic approach to physical therapy and improving overall well-being.
Consider seeking a trained and certified Thai Massage/ Thai Yoga therapist in your area. Thai Massage is considered one of the most effective traditional medicine-based alternatives to conventional Western/ allopathic physical therapy. It is also a great addition and adjunct to any physical therapy treatment program. Many PTs, Physical Therapy Doctors, Occupational therapists, and orthopedic professionals, including nurses and allied medical professionals, are studying to gain knowledge and applications of Thai massage techniques and protocols. When practiced by a trained and expert therapist/ practitioner, Thai Massage is safe and the poster child for functional medicine for various illnesses, conditions, and syndromes from mild to severe and chronic to acute. Again, finding a qualified therapist or practitioner who can tailor the Thai Massage to your individual needs and preferences is essential. With the right therapist, you can experience firsthand Thai Massage’s many physical therapy benefits.

Infections and Infectious diseases, from simple topical to chronic catastrophic, are always a concern.
As a SomaVeda® Thai Yoga, Ayurveda, and or other Natural Medicine provider, you need to have concrete and reliable strategies to deal effectively with infection. This is no joke. Many medical office visits begin and end with a minor infection not adequately treated that escalates. Once inside that medical facility, emergency room, etc., you are now exposed to potentially even more severe types of hospital-born infection such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ), Legionella (Legionella pneumophila ), etc. If you could handle these infections at home or for your patients and clients, you would save them time and money, but potentially save them from risk of death from other unnecessary contagious exposure. What if there were concrete steps that if you were exposed to some harmful pathogen that you could do at home that could improve the efficacy of conventional treatments by 30%, if not more?
Flu Season is here!
We are heading into Cold and Flu season. Now is the time to prepare for how this exposure will affect you, your clients, and your family!
This course now offers a certificate of completion suitable for framing!
Why do we need natural solutions for infections? Real-life examples and the rise of antibiotic-resistant viral and bacterial infections. This course will present a broad overview of the infectious disease issue from the perspective of a natural health practitioner. We will examine both specific concerns and their solution strategies. These strategies, once understood, can be implemented both in personal life and in counseling with affected clients in the wellness counseling model.
This course contains eleven (11) lessons with a short quiz after each lesson. Once all lessons are completed and the quizzes passed, an NAIC CE hr. Certificate of Completion will be issued and immediately downloadable.
All course work and necessary materials are presented on the LearnThaiYoga.Teachable.Com platform. There are eleven lessons and a test for each lesson content.
