Sunrise Senior College Online Course Registration

Over more than 35 years as a family physician, Dr. Hunkler came to realize that the root cause of most disease is not known and because of this, he was not trained to treat the underlying root of disease but rather the symptoms of diseases - mainly with medications. Medications can help treat symptoms, but they rarely treat the source of disease. Through his career he became aware that we all have personal issues which he has come to call dis-ease. He believes this dis-ease is a major component of illness, and gets in the way of us caring for ourselves and our bodies.  Come join us as we get an overview of the main sources of our dis-ease along with a discussion on the fundamentals of healing.

Presenter:  Dr. Samuel Hunkler, MD was a Family Medicine Specialist in Jonesport, ME with over 35 years of experience in the medical field and was affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Maine Coast Memorial Hospital and Down East Community Hospital. He graduated from Case Western Reserve U, School of Medicine medical school in 1987.
