Hello,

Your friend gives you a condescending look and says, "Are you still going to that witch doctor?"

I don't know why this particular line is so popular, but at least a thousand patients have told me someone asked them this at least once.

Whether it's the witch doctor line or some other criticism, it seems that patients and practitioners of holistic health care must deal with skepticism and ridicule, even from well-meaning friends, family members, and doctors. It's not uncommon to have a spouse watch the complete turnaround of their partner's health and then express disbelief that their treatment had anything to do with the improvement that "would have happened anyway."

High blood pressure is caused by… high blood pressure? Really? There is no treatable cause creating the high blood pressure? Apparently not, as the treatment is a drug to lower blood pressure, taken for the rest of the person's life. The holistic model would improve a person's overall health until the body no longer had to have high blood pressure. This treatment would result in READ FULL ARTICLE ON MY WEBSITE

Fast Results!!

I've been coming to Alternative Health Atlanta for only 2 ½ weeks and I already am experiencing relief from problems that I've tried to cure with medication, exercise and willpower. None of these methods have resulted in the peaceful night's sleep, the sense of well-being and the decrease in my anxiety levels that I am now experiencing. After each visit, I sleep a little better, feel less anxious and have more energy. I am so excited about continuing to improve mentally and physically. It's a Godsend! —M.K.
