Iván Figueroa Otero M.D. FACS, FAAMA
After graduating from the School of Medicine of the University of PR in 1970, Dr. Figueroa Otero trains as General Surgeon at the University Hospital of the UPR School of Medicine, integrating a one-year fellowship in the study of cancer, and one year in experimental research. Post-graduate studies in Pediatric Surgery, then follow at Miami Children's Hospital and the San Juan Municipal Hospital.
Looking for non-surgical or less invasive options for pediatric conditions, Dr. Figueroa Otero explores Eastern philosophies that emphasize a holistic concept of disease. He was one of the first physicians to become certified in medical acupuncture in Puerto Rico, training in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture with professors from the University of Seville. Eventually he was certified in medical acupuncture nationally.
In 2009, he became certified in anti- aging medicine and in December of that year he retired from the practice of pediatric surgery, focusing instead on a holistic medical practice and emphasizing disease prevention and modification of life styles. In 2011 he was invited to become a Trustee of the American Board of Medical Acupuncture, which is the national body organization responsible for certifying physicians in the field of acupuncture through national exams. In that same year he was recognized by Natural Awakenings magazine as Holistic Physician of the Year.
Dr. Figueroa Otero is currently engaged in his private practice and continues in his role as an educator, trying to achieve full integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture courses in the curriculum of medical schools, promoting that physicians to be certified both locally and nationally, and to establish clinical research protocols on the use of acupuncture in known conditions compared to the methodology established by modern medicine. Another immediate priority is to incorporate meditation techniques and their role in preventive and therapeutic medicine.
<p>Have you ever seen a "work of art" worth millions, which looks like something your child just brought home from school?</p><p>The dual perspective of "Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder" and just a little bit of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is evident in this clever artwork story of a child who paints a fingerpaint print in class and then loses it in the wind on the way home.</p><p>Illustrated from the point of view of a child, whose identity is left to the imagination of the reader since all of the illustrations are what the child sees, the fingerpaint print is interpreted by official "judges" as well as by bystanders. Should people be influenced by what others see, or use their own self-esteem to make their own judgments? This coloring book version allows children to illustrate their own version of the book, and even to create a "masterpiece" of their own!</p><p>This is the fourth rhyming children's coloring book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include David's ADHD, My Little Angel, The Golden Rule, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift.</p><p><strong>About The Author:</strong> Former teacher Sherrill S.

Book arises as urging from my inner wisdom voice to write about my life journey. I didnt pay attention so the Universe sent me several reminders with physical visitors during several years until I heeded the message. My writing comes in abundant wisdom phrases from my Magical Mirror (Mind) that when I am ready all flow rapidly together with my mndstream in 2-3 days or weeks.
<p>The book is a spiritual work of great depth that sheds a fresh light on and offers powerful insights to the whole experience of forgiveness, a work that delves into human nature, exploring what constitutes human brokenness and how to heal it This book will help anyone understand why they are broken, feeling sick, bitter, and in pain. This is a book for those who want to experience wholeness in themselves and peace with the universe and with others. Ivan Figueroa-Otero’s voice is very powerful, and his writings remind me a lot of Paulo Coelho’s work, The Warrior of Light, in its core message. In this book, the reader will find the path and the wisdom (light) to experience inner freedom from the darkness that enters the human mind. <strong>Arya Fomonyuy para Readers' Favorite</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:1in;"> </p> <p>Spirituality 103 The Forgiveness Code: Finding The Light in Our Shadows by Ivan Figueroa-Otero is a spiritual masterpiece, a self-help book that will help readers to descend to the very core, to the center, and beginning of their being.

The author shows great mastery of spiritual themes and identifies the sources of the pain and suffering that most people go through, while proposing a path towards healing. I loved the idea of forgiveness as the healing of our relationships with ourselves, with our universe, and with our fellow human beings. He shows that when we are dominated by our emotions and feelings of hurt, the light of our mind gets drowned; and we fail to appreciate the beauty of our life which is intrinsically linked to where we come from. This book offers the path that readers need to heal themselves and the world. It was a timely book for me. <strong>Divine Zape para Readers' Favorite</strong></p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;"> </p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;">"Dr. Ivan's book does a fantastic job of helping mankind to expand consciousness and come out of the darkness into the light, where one sees that the only barriers between man and his fellow soul-travelers and/or inner-peace are within one's own self-limiting beliefs and false perceptions of others! He conveys this premise using universal spiritual laws and their application to human's most pressing questions of "being". The book is beautifully written and vividly expressed! And his profound answers not only serve the individual but also the collective."</p> <p style="margin-left:252.5pt;">Amelia Kemp, Ph.D., LMHC</p> <p style="margin-left:252.5pt;">Psychotherapist, Ordained Metaphysician, and Author of "From Psychotherapy to Sacretherapy® - Alternative Holistic</p> <p style="margin-left:252.5pt;">Descriptions & Healing Processes for 170</p> <p style="margin-left:252.5pt;">Mental & Emotional Diagnoses Worldwide"</p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;"> </p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;"> </p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;"> </p> <p style="margin-left:-.25pt;">“Dr. Ivan Figueroa-Otero, while examining one of human's most profound deficiencies: guilt, also examines (with final tests and everything) our ego's enslaving mechanism. The author performs a broad study of the subject, using familiar analogies and combining a profound sense of spiritual release and freedom - it is the culmination of three volumes of a real, practical manual for the 'School Of Life'... A true gem.”</p> <p align="center" style="margin-left:147.2pt;">Carli Muñoz</p> <p align="center" style="margin-left:147.2pt;">Musician, Composer</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr Ivan Figueroa-Otero is unique.
