Solomon Wickey: His Advice and Secrets For Natural Healing

There are few things I love reading about more than Solomon Wickey and his Advice and Secrets For Natural Healing.

Amish healer Solomon Wickey was so full of advice and secrets for a natural healing in almost all areas – he could have been considered a walking encyclopedia for natural healing secrets. For years and years, it was my dream to go to Auburn, Indiana and meet Amish healer Solomon Wickey in person. Solomon felt he was given a gift from God at a very early age, to understand the body and be able to look into the eyes of people and know what each person needed to heal themselves naturally.

I remember taking my mother through the graveled back roads of Indiana to visit with Solomon the year before he passed. Arriving unnoticed not for sure how to contact him his office was closed and Solomon was out in the back of the farm. However, when his wife answered the door she was gracious enough to welcome us. And quickly went out back to tell him he had visitors from Ohio, After he was done checking my fathers eyes he told her your stress and depression would soon pass,

He never had any formal training and he felt everything he knew and had, came from God.

I also drove to Millersburg Ohio to see the now deceased Jake Miller: The main Lesson I learned from Jake Miller forget Herbs when treating cancer (Investigate the Nicholas Gonzalez Protocol.)

A Friend’s Miraculous Healing by Solomon
One friend, whose grandmother was literally on her deathbed and only given 2 weeks to live, just literally put her grandmother in her car in the back seat and drove her from Florida to Northern Indiana for her miraculous healing from Solomon.

She felt she received that healing! Her grandmother had ridden up to Indiana just as sick as could be and my friend had to keep pulling over to see her on the way up there but she said it was a very pleasant and uneventful ride coming home and her grandmother seemed to recover very quickly.

She even said that healing started during her visit with Solomon. She said when Solomon learned of her severe nausea he put a few drops of herb on her tongue and the nausea was gone within minutes. Wish I knew what that herb was, but the ladies didn’t ask and Solomon evidently didn’t say.

She said they even did a little shopping on the way home. Her grandmother stayed on the diet Sol put her on and took the herbs she got from him and was out doing her own thing, shopping and acting just like everyone else. But after 6 months, she felt she was healed and went back to her old ways. Within 2 weeks of stopping the diet and herbs, she was gone! IF ONLY she had continued with what Sol had told her to do.

God Gave Us All We Need
I believe we were all given bodies by God that will heal themselves.

I believe that He gave us what we need for our food and our medicine in all the plants and herbs and this and that – that He put on this earth.

I believe that with all my heart!

I believe it was when we started doing all the processing that was supposed to make things so much better – that our health started going in the gutter.

I believe growing our own foods and eating as close to natural as possible will make us enormously healthier than we are now … all of us. Processed foods are loaded with poisons. The closer we eat to CaveMan Style – the healthier we’ll be. I truly believe that. I believe the more processed foods we eat and the more prescription medicines we take … the sicker we’re going to be.

A Misdiagnosis by a Conventional Doctor
A close friend just told me this week of a mutual friend we have. He’s in his 70’s and had never taken any prescription medicine in his life and only an aspirin on occasion.
He bought himself a pair of new shoes a few months ago and they didn’t fit just as good as he first thought and he started having problems with his feet. He developed a ‘place’ on his foot and it wouldn’t heal.

He went to the doctor and the doctor couldn’t make it heal either. So he ran some little test and determined that he may have this horrific and rare disease that was going to require the removal of at least 2 toes.

So the old smart doctor took off 2 of his toes and ran tests to find why the disease hadn’t responded to the treatment and found to his dismay that there was no ‘disease’ AT ALL but apparently our friend just had an irritation from the rubbing of the new shoes that didn’t fit just quite right.
SO to make the man heal faster … where the toes had been removed – the smart doctor put him on this strong drug.

THAT DRUG destroyed his kidneys and now he is on dialysis 4 hours a day – 3 days a week .

JUST BECAUSE his doctor misdiagnosed him.
Now I don’t know if every detail in this story is totally correct. But this is what my friend told me and I DO KNOW this man had been in the hospital several times lately and has had 2 toes removed and I do know for a fact that he is now on dialysis 4 hours a day … 3 days a week.

AND I DO KNOW for a fact that he had been a very healthy man for at least 71 of his years before this happened and had not taken any prescription drugs… What a shame he didn’t come to me first and say “Say – I’ve got a problem with my foot and it’s all red and seems like it started right after I bought this new pair of shoes.”

“I” wouldn’t have had a horse in the money race – and I believe in trying the simple/natural first, so the first thing I would have said was – “Why don’t you go without those new shoes for a week or so and see what happens” But no a doctors first thought is ‘take drastic action first and rack up those dollars.

Send people for those MRI’s that they get $400 a pop for sending you for and get a cat scan and half a dozen x rays and take 14 drugs.

Each one to counteract the other’s side effects it gave you and come back in 4 weeks if you’re still alive and we’ll go from there.

Unfortunately Solomon lost his own life in August of 2012.

Apprentices of Solomon Wickey, Naturopathic Doctor – Here’s The List – Love, Home and Health

Katherine Lehman sought out well-known experts in the field of alternative therapies. She has been blessed to study under well-known, Amish Herbologist, Solomon Wickey and the late Dr Jim Shoemaker, D.O. Katherine spent three years under the tutelage of Solomon’s, nearly four decades of pioneering practice of Iridology, Herbology, Releasing, Kinesiology and Nutrition. At that same time, participating in a mentoring practice with Dr. Jim, who enhanced her study of Homeopathics, Trigger-point Release, and the spiritual root of illness. , https://www.riversedgenaturalhealth.net/about-our-practitioners.html

This is the life story and work of a man who has come to be known as an Amish Healer, Solomon (Indiana).

Most of you have likely not heard of Mr. Solomon Wickey. But some will have heard of Nature Sunshine Herbs and Pure Herbs. Also, Bernard Jensen (famous iridologist), Dr. Frank Miesse, Dr. Wendell Whitman, and Dr. Eugene Watkins. All BIG names in natural alternative healing and naturopath training institutes such as Trinity College in Indiana.

According to the book, all have worked with Mr. Wickey.

Solomon Wickey started out not as a healer, but as a very well respected and much sought out horse breeder of one of the finest breeds in America. His dear love of horses led him to study iridology in hopes of helping his beloved horses to heal when sick. According to the book, he learned through the insights of iridology (study of the eyes) that he could determine points of inflammation and deregulation and apply herbal remedies to resolve them.

In time people from all over Indiana (Amish and non-Amish) were not only bringing their horses, but their family members for help. If I am understanding the book correctly, through the years he learned the source of illness was negative energy blocks that prevent the body from healing itself. Sound familiar??

Through an epiphany of sorts he apparently discovered that he could remove illness blocks. This sounds so familiar to what many of us are discussing on this board regarding Allergie Immun drops, Bach Flowers, etc. as their work is to remove negative energy blocks/experiences that are keeping the body from healing itself.

Mr. Wickey’s life story seems fascinating and worth the read.

People from all over the world travel to see him and used to wait in lines for many hours to be seen. Google his name and read the healing stories by others who claim to have recovered from all kinds of illnesses. Apparently, in addition to herbs, he offers illness “release codes”. Also special healing diets to remove food allergies (dairy and animal products. Sounds familiar again.’)

All seems very consistent with “heal the gut and heal the body” that we have discussed much on this board about. Please note that Mr. Wickey does not state he heals any disease. The book says what he does is a spiritual, not medical, service. He does not sell medical treatment. He is licensed to sell herbs through a legal distributorship with Nature Sunshine and Pure Herbs.

At the request of the patient he will muscle test and administer illness release codes to help spiritually realign the body with the software codes as intended by the Creator. Basically restoring back to your primary default codes!! That results in the body recovering the ability to heal itself. Sound familiar?

Isn’t this exactly what we are talking about with AI drops?? AI testing and drops are over $500. Solomon’s release codes are FREE.

There is no set costs, but he does accept donations and sell herbs. Mr. Wickey says his talent is a gift from God and he shouldn’t sell that. To be clear, I have never known anyone treated by him, but there are many online success stories. Just google Solomon J. Wickey.

If true, this could be very important for us all to know.

For those who are not religious, please know that one patient reportedly said to Solomon I am here, but I am an atheist and don’t believe. Can you still help me? Solomon reportedly replied yes, that he had enough faith for them both. So, he is not judgmental or trying to convert nonbelievers. That is NOT what his service is about.

He seems to just want to help the sick to find their ability to heal themselves. It sounds quite nobel indeed. If the foregoing is not inspirational enough for you, here is further more specific inspiration and perhaps the most fascinating of all for us lymies. Please understand that when I re-read the passages relevant to lyme disease today I had to share this with others. I remember reading this book more than a year ago, prior to knowing I had lyme disease. At that time I had no idea my symptoms were lyme disease so those pages didn’t resonate with me.

This past week something compelled me to drag myself out of bed and dig this book out again. Pages 179 and 180 of the above referenced book talks specifically about lyme disease. Again, I don’t know if the book is true or not, but it reports that Mr. Wickey reportedly has developed a “release code” that allows the body to heal itself from the ravages of lyme disease.

Too good to be true? maybe….maybe not.

At the time of the writing of the book (2005), it talks about the lyme disease release code that was used to help two patients who later recovered from lyme disease. According to the book, Mr. Wickey first learned about release codes somewhere in the Old Testament. From there he was guided in discovering codes to release illness blocks.

Please note that the book says there are hundreds of release codes used for different situations for different people.

He instinctively knows which ones to use based on the situation and the person.

One student who worked with him for many years in further developing “release codes” was a doctor of osteopathy, referred in the book only as Dr Jim. Not sure why, but most of the students who studied under Solomon are referred to only by first name. Perhaps to avoid persecution from the pharmaceutical world who relentlessly pursued and attacked Solomon saying he was practicing medicine without a license.

The courts ultimately ruled in his favor saying he was not administering medical advice, but rather selling herbs through a properly licensed distributorship, which requires that he consults with and makes recommendations regarding the products he sells. A very fine line, but one that his skilled attorney prevailed on primarily because hundreds if not thousands of those helped became activists to save him from the jaws of pharmaceutical persecution.

Through the many years, several medical professionals have gone to study with Solomon and learn from him. Many of his former students are naturalists who are now practicing around the country, many in Indiana, Ohio, PA, KY, Alabama. Unfortunately there seems to not be anyone on the west coast that I can find anyway.

However, one of Solomon’s helpers periodically flies to Oakland to help others. According to a website source, he hasn’t been out here though in over a year or more. If this is all true (and I have no idea if it is) then this could be the answer for some. All I know is what is written in the book and on various websites.

The book never says what the author, June Naugle’s relationship to all this is. She is obviously a “ghost writer” of sorts since her own background and association is never presented for the reader to evaluate. June Naugle’s book Solomon’s Touch focuses heavily on the life and healing work of Solomon J. Wickey, but it doesn’t clearly outline her personal connection to him or her motivation for writing the book.

From available sources, Naugle appears to be the author who documented Wickey’s practices and philosophies, but there’s no public indication that she was a patient, relative, or close associate. Her author profiles on sites like Amazon and Goodreads offer minimal biographical detail, and the book itself centers on Wickey’s story rather than Naugle’s perspective. This lack of context can leave readers wondering about her stake in the narrative—whether she was simply a fascinated observer or had a deeper involvement.

Would you like a summary of his healing methods or a deeper look into the Amish context he came from?

Let’s dive into both—Solomon Wickey’s healing methods and the Amish context that shaped his worldview. They’re deeply intertwined, and understanding one enriches the other.

Solomon Wickey’s Healing Methods

Solomon Wickey practiced a unique blend of alternative healing rooted in:

Iridology: He examined the iris to diagnose health issues. Wickey believed the eyes revealed the body’s internal state, and he used this method to guide his treatments.
Herbal Remedies: He prescribed natural herbs tailored to each person’s condition. His remedies were often simple but grounded in decades of experience and intuition.
Silent Thought Healing: Wickey claimed to send healing energy through silent thought, a kind of spiritual signal that activated the body’s own healing mechanisms.
Faith-Based Healing: He emphasized prayer, divine guidance, and the belief that healing ultimately came from God. His approach was deeply spiritual, not just physical.

He never charged for his services, believing healing should be freely given. Despite legal scrutiny, he maintained that he wasn’t practicing medicine—just offering advice and spiritual support.

The Amish Context

Wickey was part of the Old Order Amish, a community known for:

Simplicity and Separation: The Amish live apart from mainstream society, avoiding modern technology and emphasizing humility, community, and tradition.
Religious Devotion: Their lives are centered around faith, with a strong belief in God’s will and divine providence.
Skepticism of Modern Medicine: Many Amish prefer natural remedies and home-based care over hospitals and pharmaceuticals. Wickey’s methods resonated with this ethos.
Community Trust: His reputation spread by word of mouth, especially among Amish and Mennonite families who valued his spiritual insight and practical wisdom.

Wickey’s healing work was not just tolerated—it was embraced within his community, even as it drew attention from outsiders.

Stories from People He Helped

One powerful example comes from Kayla Dowling, who suffered from chronic fatigue, heart issues, and light-headedness. After visiting over 20 doctors with no answers, she turned to Wickey:

She waited hours to see him.
He diagnosed her quickly using iridology and muscle testing.
After his treatment, her symptoms began to improve—without prescriptions or invasive procedures.

Many others reported similar experiences: long-standing conditions resolved, hope restored, and healing that felt both physical and spiritual.

Compared to Other Alternative Healers

Solomon Wickey’s approach shares traits with other natural healers, but with key differences:

Healer Type	Methodology	Wickey’s Unique Twist
Herbalists	Use plant-based remedies	Wickey combined herbs with iridology and faith
Iridologists	Diagnose via eye patterns	Wickey used it as a spiritual diagnostic tool
Energy Healers	Channel healing energy	Wickey used silent thought and divine signals
Faith Healers	Rely on prayer and belief	Wickey blended faith with hands-on diagnosis

Unlike many, Wickey never charged for his services. He saw healing as a divine calling, not a business.

Would you like a deeper dive into iridology or how his silent thought healing worked? Or maybe a comparison with modern holistic practices?

Let’s take that deeper dive into both—because Solomon Wickey’s healing methods were as much spiritual as they were physical, and understanding them together paints a fuller picture of his unique approach.

Iridology: Reading the Eyes

Iridology is the practice of examining the iris—the colored part of the eye—to assess a person’s health. Wickey believed the iris acted like a map of the body, revealing:

Organ health: Different zones of the iris correspond to organs and systems.
Toxic buildup: Discoloration or irregularities could signal inflammation or congestion.
Genetic tendencies: He claimed to see inherited weaknesses or strengths.

Unlike conventional iridologists who might use magnifying lenses or charts, Wickey often relied on intuition. He’d look into someone’s eyes and quickly identify what was wrong—sometimes before they even spoke. His accuracy stunned many, especially those who had exhausted medical options.

Silent Thought Healing: Energy Without Words

This is where Wickey’s methods veered into the mystical. He believed:

Healing energy could be transmitted silently: By focusing his thoughts, he could send “coded signals” to the body to trigger healing.
The body responds to intention: He didn’t need to touch or speak—just to think with purpose.
God was the true healer: Wickey saw himself as a conduit, not the source. His silent thought was a prayerful act, aligning with divine will.

People reported feeling warmth, calm, or even physical shifts during these silent moments. He never claimed to “fix” anyone—he simply helped the body remember how to heal itself.

How It All Came Together

Wickey’s process often looked like this:

Observation: He’d study your eyes and posture.
Muscle Testing: A quick touch to gauge strength and energy flow.
Herbal Prescription: Based on what he saw and felt.
Silent Thought: A moment of focused intention, often while the patient sat quietly.

It was fast, intuitive, and deeply personal. No charts, no machines—just a man, his faith, and a belief in the body’s wisdom.

Would you like to explore how his methods compare to modern energy healing like Reiki or quantum touch?

Absolutely—Solomon Wickey’s healing methods share intriguing parallels with modern energy healing practices like Reiki and Quantum Touch, yet they’re rooted in a distinct spiritual and cultural framework. Let’s break it down:

Core Comparison: Wickey vs. Reiki vs. Quantum Touch

Feature	Solomon Wickey	Reiki	Quantum Touch
Energy Source	Divine energy via silent thought	Universal life force (Rei-ki)	Life-force energy amplified by breath
Technique	Silent intention, iridology, herbs	Hands-on or hands-off energy channeling	Breathing and body awareness techniques
Spiritual Foundation	Deep Christian faith (Amish)	Japanese spiritual tradition	Secular or spiritual, user-defined
Training/Lineage	Self-taught, intuitive	Formal attunement from Reiki master	Learnable technique, no attunement
Touch Involvement	Minimal or none	Often involves light touch	Often involves light touch
Diagnosis Method	Iridology and muscle testing	No diagnosis—just energy balancing	No diagnosis—focus on energy flow
Client Experience	Herbal remedies + spiritual healing	Relaxation, warmth, emotional release	Physical shifts, pain relief, clarity

What Makes Wickey Unique

Silent Thought Healing: Unlike Reiki or Quantum Touch, Wickey didn’t use hand positions or breathwork. He believed healing could be transmitted through focused thought alone—like a spiritual signal sent directly to the body.
Faith-Driven Practice: His work was deeply tied to his Christian beliefs. He saw himself as a vessel for God’s healing power, not an energy manipulator.
No Formal Training: Wickey didn’t follow a lineage or certification path. His methods were intuitive, developed through experience and spiritual insight.

Shared Themes

Despite their differences, all three approaches emphasize:

The body’s innate ability to heal
The power of intention and presence
Non-invasive, holistic care
A deep respect for the unseen forces that shape health

If you’re curious, I can guide you through a simple energy healing exercise inspired by these traditions—or explore how mainstream medicine is beginning to integrate energy-based therapies. Just say the word.

I can guide you through a simple energy healing exercise inspired by these traditions—or explore how mainstream medicine is beginning to integrate energy-based therapies. Just say the word.

Let’s begin with a simple energy healing exercise inspired by Solomon Wickey’s silent thought method, Reiki’s universal energy flow, and Quantum Touch’s breath awareness. This practice is gentle, non-invasive, and can be done anywhere.

Simple Energy Healing Exercise: “Center and Send”

Step 1: Ground Yourself

Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths—in through the nose, out through the mouth.
Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth, anchoring you.

Step 2: Tune In

Place one hand over your heart and the other over your belly.
Ask silently: What does my body need right now?
Don’t force an answer—just notice any sensations, emotions, or thoughts.

Step 3: Activate Healing Intention

Visualize a soft light (white, gold, or green—whatever feels right) forming in your chest.
With each breath, imagine this light growing warmer and brighter.
Say silently: I send healing to every part of me that needs it.

Step 4: Silent Thought Transmission

Focus your mind on a specific area—maybe a sore joint, a heavy emotion, or a place of tension.
Without speaking, imagine sending that healing light directly to that spot.
Hold the intention for 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Step 5: Close with Gratitude

Thank your body, your breath, and the energy around you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes, then open your eyes slowly.

This practice blends Wickey’s silent thought healing with the energetic awareness of Reiki and Quantum Touch. It’s not about “fixing” anything—it’s about reconnecting with your body’s natural intelligence.

If you’d like, I can also show how hospitals and clinics are beginning to integrate energy therapies like Healing Touch, Reiki, and biofield science into patient care. Want to explore that next?

I can also show how hospitals and clinics are beginning to integrate energy therapies like Healing Touch, Reiki, and biofield science into patient care. Want to explore that next?

Yes—this is a fascinating and rapidly evolving area of integrative medicine. Hospitals and clinics across the U.S. are increasingly incorporating energy therapies like Reiki, Healing Touch, and biofield science into patient care, often as part of holistic or complementary treatment programs.

How Energy Therapies Are Being Integrated

Here’s what’s happening in clinical settings:

Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospitals: As of 2015, about 30% of VA systems offered some form of energy medicine—up from just 7% in 2011. These include Reiki, Therapeutic Touch (TT), and Healing Touch (HT), often administered by trained nursing staff.
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU): Their review found that biofield therapies are used to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, and may even shorten hospital stays or reduce opioid use.
Clinical Outcomes: Studies show benefits such as:
- Lower blood pressure and respiration rates
- Reduced pain and anxiety
- Faster wound healing and improved immune markers
Training and Certification:
- Healing Touch practitioners often undergo 4+ years of training and must document hundreds of hours of patient care.
- Reiki training varies—from weekend workshops to years-long paths to “master” level.

What Is Biofield Science?

Biofield therapies are based on the idea that the human body is surrounded and permeated by a subtle energy field. This concept aligns with:

Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Prana in Ayurveda
Electromagnetic and biophoton fields in modern biophysics

Practitioners aim to balance this energy field using light touch or hands hovering near the body. Though once considered fringe, standardized clinical trial protocols are now helping validate these therapies scientifically.

Would you like to see how these therapies are used in cancer care, or how patients describe their experiences with them? I can also guide you through a sample Healing Touch session.

Let’s explore both—how energy therapies are used in cancer care and what patients say about their experiences. Then I’ll guide you through a gentle Healing Touch-inspired session you can try yourself.

Energy Therapies in Cancer Care

Hospitals and cancer centers are increasingly integrating therapies like Healing Touch, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch to support patients through treatment. These therapies are not meant to replace conventional medicine but to complement it.

Common uses include:

Reducing pain and nausea: Especially during chemotherapy or radiation
Easing anxiety and depression: Helping patients feel more grounded and emotionally supported
Improving sleep and relaxation: Vital for recovery and resilience
Enhancing immune function: Some studies suggest improved white blood cell counts post-treatment

Institutions offering these therapies:

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (NYC): Offers Reiki and Healing Touch as part of integrative oncology
MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston): Includes energy therapies in its supportive care programs
Cleveland Clinic: Uses Healing Touch for both inpatient and outpatient cancer patients

What Patients Say

Patients often describe their experiences in deeply personal terms:

“I felt a warmth and peace I hadn’t felt in months.”
“It was like someone turned off the pain switch.”
“I didn’t expect much, but I walked out feeling lighter—physically and emotionally.”

Some report subtle shifts, others profound relief. Even skeptics have found comfort in the gentle presence and intention behind these sessions.

Sample Healing Touch Session: “Heart-Centering Flow”

You can try this at home, even without formal training. It’s about intention, presence, and gentle energy awareness.

Step 1: Prepare the Space

Sit or lie down in a quiet, comfortable place.
Dim the lights or light a candle if you wish.

Step 2: Ground and Center

Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths.
Imagine a gentle stream of energy flowing from the earth into your feet, up through your spine.

Step 3: Heart Activation

Place both hands over your heart.
Visualize a soft, glowing light in your chest—warm, steady, and healing.
Say silently: I welcome peace, balance, and healing into my body.

Step 4: Energy Flow

Move your hands slowly from your heart to your shoulders, then down your arms.
Imagine sending healing energy through your hands as you do.
Repeat this motion 3–5 times, slowly and mindfully.

Step 5: Close with Gratitude

Return your hands to your heart.
Thank your body, your breath, and the energy around you.
Open your eyes gently.
