Korman Lifestyle Counselling
Korman Lifestyle Counselling was founded by Dr. Irvine A. Korman, MD. Dr. Korman has an Honours B.A. in Biochemistry (1951), an Honours MD (1955), and an FRCP(c) in Internal Medicine (1960). He has since completed post-graduate studies in Naturopathy: Nutrition, Homeopathy, and Herbal Medicine. Dr. Korman worked at Branson Hospital as an Internist and Gastroenterologist until his daughter Lucinda Korman became ill in 1979.
Lucinda began crying for no reason, became extremely fatigued, and felt sick, and very weak all the time. When this happened, Dr. Korman first tried traditional medicine to help get Lucinda well, but the medications just made Lucinda worse. Then Dr. Korman turned to Naturopathy because traditional medicine failed. He opened up a practice in in Environmental Medicine, called Clinical Ecology in 1980, and began the search for answers.
Lucinda Korman’s health crisis is what turned Dr. Korman’s paradigm of medicine upside down, and he became a drugless practitioner.
Lucinda Korman has a BFA in Fine Arts (Design) from York University, and developed severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities due to her fine arts training at York University, plus teaching puppetry at summer day camps where they sprayed for mosquitos.
Once she graduated in 1980, Lucinda was analysed and found to be extremely toxic with heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides, and in 1982 became so sick that all she could eat was fish and water. Dr. Korman searched for answers on how to get Lucinda well an incorporated what he learned into his practice, and this is what became Korman Lifestyle Counselling today.
What made Lucinda well are the keys to wellness Korman Lifestyle Counselling educates and practices. The foundation of the practice is the Electro-Dermal Testing. The Electro-Dermal testing is so important because it revealed the toxicities that Lucinda had, the organ imbalances, the nutritional deficiencies, the hormonal imbalances, emotional issues and food sensitivities plus electromagnetic problems, geopathic stress, candida, parasites, bacteria and viruses.
Dr. Korman and Lucinda first learned the Electro-Dermal Testing and the healing methods associated with this: Homeopathy, Flower and Gem Essences, Nutrition and Herbal Remedies. So the Electro-Dermal Testing detected the toxicities that Lucinda had, and the emotional issues and the microbes she was dealing with. She began detoxification according to what the testing revealed with the help of herbal remedies, homeopathy, and supplements, plus filtered water and organic food. Lucinda Korman recovered totally.
Dr. Korman trained in Electro-Dermal Testing in 1982 and Lucinda began the testing in 1986. Lucinda has now been doing the testing for over 29 years. She has now gone on to study advanced Nutrition and has almost completed her RHN with the Edison Institute of Nutrition.
Dr. Korman is now retired at the age of 86, but he is still active as a consultant to Korman Lifestyle Counselling.
