Holistic Pioneers Offer Alternative Ways To Health

Trailblazing innovators tout dietary solutions to what ails us.

Lori Oliwenstein and Jay Dixit
Psychology Today
April 24, 2007

Americans consult alternative health practitioners some 600 million times a year -- more often than they visit family doctors. In that spirit, Psychology Today sought out these books by three natural health pioneers, holistic innovators who specialize in dietary solutions.

'Raw Power'

Claim to fame: Author of The Raw Food Detox Diet (Regan Books, 2005).
Claim: A careful transition to a diet high in raw foods will detoxify your body, increase your energy levels and help you lose weight.

'Food As Medicine'
By Tieraona Low Dog, M.D.

I am an advocate for holistic practioners.

I have had a naturopathic doctor for more than a dozen years, and I know I am much healthier.

Are they more expensive than a regular physician? I'm almost certain my insurance doesn't cover their services.

It is more expensive because you pay up front.

However, insurance companies dot cover alternative medicines.

It is best to check and find out what and how much is covered.

I found her when she on the "Evening Exchange" program year ago.

I'll ask her about Atlanta, next time I have an appointment. But in the meantime, check out..

Thanks Shabooka. There are only 7 in the entire state of GA. Luckily there are 5 in the Atlanta area.
