We meet every Monday at 11am PT / 2pm EST. Sign up for announcements on my website www.DrLeylaAli.com Many people are catching on to the fact that the western medicine system of doctors and drugs are no longer about your best health, but about pharmaceutical drugs and profit. "Listen to your doctor" and "take your medication as directed by your doctor" are commonly heard, almost to the point of being hypnotic. Yet they are outdated recommendations for optimal health. In Dr. Leyla’s book Off Balance, The American Way of Health, Dr. Leyla exposes the limitations of doctors and drugs and the shortcomings of the medical system. Additionally, she demonstrates there are several better ways to obtain good health by introducing a variety of alternative and holistic healthcare options. At the back of each chapter, Dr. Leyla has interviews with several people who have suffered from conditions that medical doctors could not treat, including neuropathy, diabetes, Tourette's Syndrome, chronic pain for over 20 years, chronic fatigue, and cancer. The ones who have regained their health are those who go beyond the model of "listen to your doctor because your doctor understands your health better than you." In fact, she has found the ones who are able to regain their health completely take full responsibility for their health and wellness, and go well above and beyond their doctor's advice. Medical doctors should be used for mostly diagnosis, surgery, and emergencies. Most chronic conditions can be better handled by other types of holistic practitioners. The best health is obtained when the patient takes full responsibility for his or her health and wellness by tapping into his or her own power to heal. Good health and wellness does not coming in the next new and excited pharmaceutical drug. Rather, it comes from going back to basics, looking within, addressing the body, mind, spirit, thoughts, and emotions, and restoring balance.
