Warren M. Levin MD, Alternative Medicine, Lyme

and then you need to reach for another one.  That’s far from achieving a goal to true health.  Conventional medicine has been designed to treat ‘symptoms’ rather than bring a person back to ‘whole health.’  Mainstream medicine assigns patients with acute illnesses to sub-specialty practitioners who rely primarily on prescribed medications to control the symptoms.  Even the best of specialty doctors understand that there is something missing in this equation.  The side effects of the synthetic drugs often create a whole new batch of symptoms and complications for the patient.  This is more potentially damaging to those with chronic illnesses since they are more likely to suffer the more serious effects of long-term use.

‘Holistic’ or ‘Wholistic’ medicine refers to natural healing methods aimed to treat the person, not just the body.  It recognizes the patient as a whole being, carrying a unique bag of experiences and emotions, and a personal outlook and attitude toward self, toward healing, and toward life.  These ultimately affect the course and outcome of the condition the individual has been stricken with.

Warren M. Levin, M.D. has been practicing medicine for 50⁺ years and has seen both sides of the coin.  His practice ”Blends Conventional and Complementary Philosophies for Health.”

His goal is to heal his patients, not just to address their symptoms.  Dr. Levin spends the time necessary to get to know each person who walks through his door, as a living being with a mind and a spirit that is interconnected with the physical body - in complex yet powerful ways.  He does a thorough review of his patients’ background and health history before ordering the tests necessary to help to identify the roots of the illness or disease.  He then discusses the results with the patient, and offers various options for healing.

Dr. Levin sees each person as a unique ‘health system’.  Both people may share the same symptoms triggered by totally different causes.  These same symptoms may take on very different pathways, depending on the many factors that make a patient…a ‘person.’

At the same time, Dr. Levin believes that the Human Body is a miraculous machine that comes into the world with a complete program for Healing itself.  However, he points out that this complex construction does not come with a Spare Parts List or an Instruction Manual!  No Doctor can “fix” the body – even the surgeons, doing phenomenal feats of new Technology, must understand that when they have completed their work they should step back from the table, put down their scalpels and sutures, and bow their heads to the Creator, saying:

“OK G-d, We have done everything humanly possible for this patient – now, will you please heal the wound that I have made” – because the surgeon CANNOT HEAL THE WOUND!  THE BODY MUST DO THAT MIRACLE ITSELF!

Doctors do have an important function, according to Levin: They must assume that if the patient is not getting well, there is something(s?) interfering with the Healing process.  Many of these obstructions can be cleared, such as: Nutritional Deficiencies, Accumulated Toxins, Allergies, Infections, Hormonal Imbalances Neurotransmitter imbalances, Psycho-Spiritual issues and Mechanical problems (bones and teeth.)  When these can be corrected, the Miracle of Healing occurs!
