A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM
For the past 27 years I only go to Complementary and Alternative Medicine doctors because only they treat the cause and not the symptoms of what makes us ill. I learned long ago how to strengthen the immune system naturally. A strong immune system is vital to not just keeping you from getting sick but also preventing disease and promoting Anti-Aging. Immunology works on so many different fronts as far as overall health. When you supplement your diet with plenty of antioxidants via fruits, vegetables and supplements, your immune system will have that one-two punch to win the fight against free radical cells.
The more free radical cells that can be terminated by antioxidants, the more harmful cells can also be killed by your white blood cells. When this happens it slows down the aging process since free radical cells promote aging.
Not only did I learn about immunology but I practice and live it every day for the past 27 years. Normally I only use vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and a lot of antioxidants to keep me well. If I should get sick, which is very rare, I will sometimes use an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine if it’s really needed.
I eat as healthy (organic) as I possibly can by avoiding certain foods, I don’t smoke, I exercise when I can and at the age of 51 I still feel and look young. Look at my picture on my About Me page. Do I look 51 years old? Plus I go to a doctor who practices CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine), so a prescription drug is normally not the first thing he will offer as a solution.
If you truly want to live a healthy lifestyle you need to go to a doctor that is not going to treat you with medication first. My doctor teaches his patients how to treat themselves when they get sick. Did you know that healing yourself from the flu is also the same treatment that you would use to heal yourself from any other type of viral infection? If you are thinking that what I just said was wrong because you cannot get antibiotics without a doctor’s prescription, well you do not need antibiotics for any type of viral infection. Plain and simple, antibiotics do not work for viral infections. Even the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) says so in its advertisement photo on my The Facts page.
FINDING A DOCTOR
Having a doctor that would rather promote actual health care instead of sick care which most conventional medicine doctors practice, will benefit you greatly going forward. More and more people are turning to CAM and Anti-Aging doctors for effective solutions. In turn there are also some doctors who are leaving the general mindset of conventional medicine and are going back to school to learn nutrition, which surprisingly is not taught in western medical schools.
So are you wondering how to find a CAM and/or Anti-Aging doctor? Well I have an easy solution for you, which is something I didn’t have when I first started down the road to better health care. There are two different websites that can greatly help you in finding an MD.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ANTI-AGING MEDICINE
This website contains a large list of all types of Anti-Aging and CAM doctors. Even my doctor is listed in here. Just go to their directory page and fill in the amount of miles from where you live that you are willing to search, your zip code or your city and state and click Search. Each doctor will have their name, address and phone number plus a description of the types of medicine they practice. Some doctors also have links to their websites. There are definitely a lot of doctors within this directory listing.
AMERICAN COLLEGE FOR ADVANCEMENT IN MEDICINE
This website contains a list of all types of Anti-Aging and CAM doctors. Just go to their Physician+Link page fill in the amount of miles from where you live that you are willing to search and fill in your zip code and click Submit. Each doctor will have their name, city and phone number plus a description of the types of medicine they practice. Some doctors also have their website listed. There are a lot of doctors within this directory listing.
If you have any comments, concerns, or questions about finding a doctor that will work with you instead of against you, please leave them below. I will get back to you with a response.
I firmly believe in alternative Doctors but the major problem with this is if you are on Medicare and a supplemental insurance, they will not cover this type of care.
This is true for the most part and it also depends on which state you live in. Fortunately I do not have that problem because I do not believe in conventional western medicine and haven’t taken a prescription medication for anything in 27 years. Even when I had cancer 14 years ago when I was 37 I was not treated with any chemo, radiation, hormone or surgery. I was totally cured within 6 months by taking an all natural mushroom extract supplement developed in Japan and sold here in the U.S. The total cost for my cancer cure came out to $560 and change. So in order for someone like you who may be on meds to enjoy the services of an alternative doctor and an extremely lower cost of your healthcare, you would have to stop taking your meds and switch to an all natural approach because for every medication on the market there is at least 3 highly effective natural treatments available and many of these treatments cost less than going out to dinner.
Robert, congrats on beating cancer! What was the mushroom extract supplement that you were taking?
At the time it was called MGN-3 but now the company that was distributing it changed the name and upgraded the formula so that the body can absorb it better. The new name is Noxylane-4 and you can buy it at many health food stores or on Amazon.
My wife and I have been wanting to find a wellness doctor, and I think that being able to know some of the ways we could find someone would be helpful. I’m glad that you mentioned that antibiotics don’t work for a viral infection, and I think that being able to find a doctor who knows this is key. I’m going to have to make sure that we pick a knowledgeable doctor to help us with our wellness, and hopefully get some great help!
It is always beneficial for the health of the patient if they can find a doctor that is willing to take alternative approaches. Too many conventional doctors do not like to think or treat outside of the box and continue to prescribe medications that do not work or have too many negative side effects. The links I provide on this page should help you find a doctor that will work with you instead of against you.
