“Correction of the Cause”
Introduction to Alternative Medicine
Dr. Arash Mohrdar N.M.D. D.C

“I do not treat your symptoms, I correct the cause of your disease”

“I would like to explain to you what is going to happen, when you are coming to my office, and what you can expect from my care. Generally, it is exactly the same, like you would go to any other type of doctor, just the form of questioning might be a little different. First I interview you. You will fill out a questionnaire and I will read it before I meet with you and make notes for myself. Then I come back to the room and start my interview with you.  You have to understand, I am treating YOU, I am not treating your symptoms. All symptoms you have are some sort of indication and clue for me to find the real problem. Don’t be surprised to find out, that one thing leads to another. Like a joint pain coming from a digestive problem.

Remember, my complete attention is to find the root of the disease and the root of the symptoms. If there is any pain, we can control that pain. After the interview I have a whole health view impression of you. Then I will recommend some testing, to prove it to myself. I can not rely on my basic knowledge alone, so I have to analyze your blood-chemistry, depending on your condition. I could be recommending any types of testing to find a disease. There is no standard. Our nurses will coach you how and where to do the tests. I will review those tests in a second office visit, where I will also do the physical examination, what means checking you from head to toe. Anything I think is necessary checking I will do. Specially cardio-vascular.

“My job is to educate you. I want you to understand everything about your body”

Then I will diagnose you and explain that diagnosis to you, what it is and why you have this problem and how it happened. Also what type of diseases are going to happen, what type of problem you are receptive to have. Often I find a lot of diseases that are not there yet, but are going to happen very soon, in 3 – 5 years. My job is to treat all the problems you do have and also diagnose the future diseases at the same time.

Then we are going through the treatment, first acute, then sub-acute, then eventually for chronic. When most of the problems and diseases are gone, we have reached a different level -  preventative care. We will try to keep this new health you worked so hard for with my direction.

My job is to educate you. I want you to understand everything about your body. I want you to ask me question. Medicine always makes the people not question their body, you never ask your doctor, because there was so much pressure in separation between physician and patient. I can not treat you without knowing you, your emotion, your general state of mind, because this mind of yours is governing your body. If your mind is agitated your body is agitated or vice versa. So it is very important for me to treat you, to understand you. So I have to have a certain relationship with you, so we both together treat this body and this mind. Medicine is not too difficult, I always try to tell you in a certain context what I do, so you can understand it.

“My goal is to get the best results for you and get rid of your disease”

I love it, when my patients, once they comprehend what I am doing, follow the researches and their progress, verses no contribution to their body. In the past they would say “I went to my doctor and I had some problems here and there and he gave me this medication” – “What is this ?” – “I don’t know !” This -I don’t know- creates a separation between Doctor and Patient. I means you bring your body to the physician, you say: “fix it, I want to go !” This is the attitude. Don’t talk to me, I don’t want to know. Even if you want to know, Doctors stop you from questioning with authority.

I like to change your spirit and make you more responsible for your body to get a better result. Everything I do, website, brochures, DVD, is all to make sure, I get the best result and you get better, get rid of your diseases. This is my goal and I get it. For this reason it is important to get together – you and I - and work for this goal.

After I diagnosed you the treatment starts. I treat the cause – that means, your biochemistry has changed, you have a disease, you have a deficiency (your body did not have enough material to repair itself), or something was interfering with the action of healing. Our immune system is designed to heal us, not to give us diseases. My job is to find out and correct the biochemistry and function of the body. I need the analysis of your digestive system – do you digest and absorb your food ? When you are eating, do you get 100 % of the benefit of that food. The famous apple a day could NOT be absorbed. So the digestive system is my primary concern.

“Why do we get side effects from pharmaceutical medications ? Because our body is intelligent and understands – this is NOT a part of the natural casket !”

What do I use to correct your cause. I am a Homeopath, I use Herbs, Amino Acids, Vitamins and Minerals (the primary substances we are made of), phyto chemicals, amino acids, neuro emotional, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, visceral manipulation (manual correction). A completely holistic approach – the more tools we have the better for you.

A lot of patients say to me: “Well Doctor, you want to give me the herbs, vitamins and minerals. I am taking that, I went to the health food store and I bought them, but I did not get better, why ?”
Or
“Doctor, I have some serious diseases and you want to treat me with just herbs ? How will you accomplish that ?”
Pharmaceutical Medication is a chemistry that was isolated at a laboratory. Let’s take Viox as an example. It has an COX inhibitor and blocks inflammation. The reaction in the body, blocks the enzyme that creates inflammation. But unfortunately our body is very intelligent. Any chemical substances are absorbed, but create side effects. Why ? Because our body understands – this is NOT a part of the natural casket. So it is rejected, because it is toxic, and the side effects start. The same element in a natural form, causes the same effect without side effects. Example: Valium, it comes from Valerian root. When we copy this structure in the laboratory it becomes toxic to us, we can have an overdose and die, because our body recognizes it as an unnatural substance.

So I mix together different natural substances and create the same effect on the body without side effects – that is my medication.
Mechanism of action is very important. Most chemical medication is based on that. In the laboratory of the Pharmaceutical Industry they find one pathway function of the body and find the exact medication that is blocking or increasing that function.

“I only recognize what is wrong with your body, and provide what your immune system needs to wake up and repair itself.“

Like Histamine. When your immune system is not comfortable to have some element in the body, it produces histaminum. This substance creates a delay for outside invasion. During this time the body produces a lot of mucus, what is a trap or delay reaction for fungus, bacteria or viruses. In general medicine we give anti-hisitamin, to stop this mucus production. But what about those bacteria or viruses that want to enter the body. The mucus prevents them to go into second stage. So we stop our defense by stopping production of mucus for the price of feeling good for a little while. Alternative medicine is opposite. I think, this a great mechanism, production of mucus to protect my tissue from outside invasion ? They come and get trapped on the mucus and then I spit them out ? That’s beautiful ! Then my immune system tells me there is no thread any more by stopping the production of mucus. So instead of stopping the production of mucus by medication, why not go somewhere else, where there is no allergen ? Or how about improving my defense mechanism, so my body can take care of this allergen without extra reaction and without the side effects of a drug ? That is my solution, my medication for my patients for every disease – correction of the cause.

“Diabetes, Osteoporosis and other diseases are supposed to be untreatable – we treat it !”

Our immune system is designed to help us cure a disease. How many times did we have cancer and our immune system took care of it, but we were never aware of it. We can trust our immune system, so when a disease happens, something is not working properly. It does not matter, what and how big the disease is. I am not treating anything, your immune system does. I only recognize what is wrong with your body, and provide what your immune system needs to wake up and repair itself.

90 % of my patients come to me because they are desperate. For them there was no other alternative and most of them are happy and get results… why ? Because their body got back to the normal healthy way and repaired itself. It is not complicated or a miracle. They created this complicity for us and call it impossible. I do not say impossible, I just try…
Diabetes, Osteoporosis and other diseases are supposed to be untreatable – we treat it ! “Infection is impossible to be treated without antibiotics” – We do it !

Most of the people who follow the way of Alternative Medicine really respect their body. They don’t want to put junk onto or into their body. Nothing, that could have any side effects or cause damages. These people, they want this type of alternative way. Some patients I have, they had no other choice, they had to use alternative medicine, because nothing else helped them. When these patients realize, how powerful and effective alternative medicine is, they stay on it and convince other people to switch to alternative medicine. Just look what happened to alternative medicine from the 1980s until now – because people get results, they get better and improve, they get exited and refer – look at alternative medicine now, everywhere people write and report about it. You have to try it – You get rid of your diseases without side effects ? What else do you want ? Because your conventional M.D. said, it is not going to work, because it is not “scientific”?

“The science of alternative medicine is way more stronger, than conventional medicine. This bad reputation was created artificially”

When I was a student I also had the perception, that alternative medicine was not very scientific. When I finally got more into alternative medicine I realized - how come every single element we are using there had been thousands of researches done on it. Every single supplement, mineral, vitamin, herb, alkaloid, phyto nutrient, there was so much research from 1800 to now. Alternative medicine is more scientific than conventional medicine. All the painkillers and anti-inflammatory, etc, why do you hear, that so many people died from them ? That is science ? The science of alternative medicine is way more stronger, than conventional medicine. This bad reputation was created artificially. Most of the so-called double blind studies for medications are done in the pharma-companies own laboratories, otherwise we would not have this catastrophic side effects and death of people.

The worst thing, that can happen with alternative medicine is, that it does not work, but nobody will ever suffer side effects or death.
So I don’t see, why we should not try it, why we should not give it a chance and get healthier… Why not ?
