Your whole plant medicine alternative to symptom-management drugs includes food concentrates or extracts of foods that knowledgeable doctors can clinically use as herbal medicine.

Can a pill containing a combination of foods be your medicine? Drugs are never food. Food is never a drug, but food in clinical potency can be your medicine. You can let food be thy medicine, just as Hippocrates said. My patients use foods as medicines, but our care is not diet alone! Clinically, we use concentrates of foods and whole herb extracts from plants, total extracts of plant parts, like just the roots. These are not isolates because the full complement of nutritional compounds found in the roots is available in the extract, not just a single aspect.
Our herbal medicines are vegetarian whole-food concentrates or plant medicine. Yet, extracts from whole foods don't always have to be from plants. Some valuable extracts can also come from the animal kingdom, containing extracts from various tissues found in the animal kingdom. When we do our in-office holistic evaluation for you, we will be able to determine the best natural formulas for your specific needs.
BEVERLY HILLS NATURAL MEDICINE
Holistic chiropractors use whole food medicine and whole plant medicine with all the specialized chiropractic testing methods and techniques that make chiropractic doctors unique. When you notice you are doing better, you won't need to manage your symptoms as much with conventional chemical drugs. Then, with your medical doctor's OK, you could reduce your current medications or finally eliminate your chemical medicines!
Clinical nutrition is not about covering a symptom but helping your body systems function more optimally to reduce symptoms. Dr. Lieberman incorporates these factors in natural medicine for healing at his Beverly Hills chiropractor clinic. Request an appointment for your health and vitality now.
What is the process for knowing which natural medicine to prescribe?
When you come to our Beverly Hills chiropractor clinic, you get a detailed exam and only receive the herbal medicine or whole food concentrates you need, based on our clinical examination. We use a systematic, holistic evaluation method that gives us great insight into what your body needs right now to help bring you to a higher level of health.
We can see the big picture of your health needs through your personal health history and this systematic method (plus the information we can get from more traditional testing methods like blood tests). We can construct an effective holistic, chiropractic, and clinical nutrition program for you.
Why does alternative medicine work for some but not for others?
Your success depends on how closely you would be willing to follow the alternative medicine practitioner's recommendations and your discipline to follow through. So, not only does it depend on the skills of the alternative doctor, but it also depends on you.
Do you have to "believe" in alternative medicine in order for it to work?
No, but you should believe in any medicine enough to follow the doctor's directions—the alternative medicine doctor or any kind of doctor; otherwise, it will not work for you, no matter what.
When patients do not believe a medicine will work, they might not take it as directed, thereby "showing the world" that it doesn't work. This could be the reason why it might not work for you either. Your actions are the key. The same requirement applies to any system of medicine.
