A Life Without Pills

“What are you going to do to get me off these pills, Doc?”

A Life Without Pills starts with a different question: Why did your body develop the symptom or condition in the first place—and what may still be sustaining it? Understand the problem. Identify what can change. Improve the person. Measure the result. Then reassess what is still necessary.
