James Bowman, MD, ND, DHNC, DCP, FAAIM of Alternative Health Concepts Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54481
James Bowman began his studies in science and medicine after high school. Stationed in an intelligence unit in Berlin, Germany, and seeking to begin his medical education, he attended classes at the Freie Universität, Berlin, School of Medicine, with a combined emphasis on both family and internal medicine. This medical college is a recognized leader in research and in alternative health care.
In addition to the medical curriculum, he took many additional hours to earn his credentials in two key alternative health care areas, naturopathy, and homeopathy, both of which have their origins and development in Germany. He also completed advanced studies in detoxificaiton, herbal and botanical medicine, nutritional therapy, enzyme therapy, and stress management.
He completed his MD degree at the Open Internation University, School of Medical Studies, in Sri Lanka, another world leading scientific research and alternative health care university. He has been in practice for thirty years and sees both children and adults for a very wide variety of health issues using the European natural and alternative approaches he learned in Germany.
NOTE: Although he holds multiple professional degrees, in the State of Wisconsin, if a practitioner has more than one professional degree he or she must choose only one under which to practice. Although he holds an MD degree from a recognized school, because his work is completely devoted to natural and alternative methods, he has chosen not to be licensed as an MD in Wisconsin, nor to practice common medical services such as prescribing Rx medications, performing surgery, etc., but to practice under the scope of naturopathy and all its services. For the sake of clearly informing the public of his practice and his educational background, this explanation is given in accordance with the direction of the Department of Regulation & Licensing, State of Wisconsin, Madison.Call: 715-341-4949

Concerning the great moral, spiritual, and ethical issues of our day, Paul Lagan is well suited for the task at hand. In 1989, he founded Alliance for Life Ministries (AFLM), a conservative Christian ministry located in Madison, Wisconsin, which is arguably the most liberal city in the United States. This ministry is geared toward making a difference by taking God's Word and applying it to His Cultural Mandate.
What makes Paul particularly unique is that he, along with his wife Sue and other m embers of AFLM, has actually done what most other conservative organizations only suggest. The fact that he is actively on the front lines of the battle gives him a unique credibility and qualifies him to advise and direct concerning the great issues of our day.
In 1999, Paul and Sue received the prestigious Salt and Light Award from The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, as the Outstanding Christian Organization in the United States.
From among millions of Web sites, AFLM is honored and blessed to be listed on the first page of Google, Yahoo, and many other search engines.
Paul has appeared as keynote and guest speaker before functions across the United States. He spoke (along with leaders of other national pro-family organizations) before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and has been interviewed numerous times on television and radio, and in newspapers and national magazines.
Statements written and articles published by Paul have received recognition both here and abroad. The Lagans have worked with the largest and most noteworthy Christian organizations in the United States.
Paul does not make a living by playing church. He has never received any form of salary, wage, benefit, or financial reimbursement for his ministry efforts, and is, therefore, able to "tell it as it is with no strings attached."
Before retiring Paul was self-employed as the founder and owner of Union Financial Services, an estate and financial planning organization that operated primarily within the Midwest.Email: ministry@alliance4lifemin.org
