Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-10-24T14:56:29-04:00

Does our body need medication? Right off the bat this is an interesting and touchy subject - or is it? Every day new people come into my clinic, ask for my help, and are of 1 of 3 different mindsets: those who have always disliked taking medications and strive to do all things natural; those who don't mind medications but are tired of taking pills for their ills without long-term results; and those who have consistently taken medications, may have prescriptions constantly on the go, and are trying to mix in alternative methods.

I’ve got a practice member. She’s pretty remarkable – remarkable as in life has thrown her a lot of trauma mentally, emotionally, physically, and chemically. While she has struggled at many times to just make it through the day, she continues to come out on top, not succumb to a world of negativity and hopelessness, and sift through the diagnoses, prescriptions, suggestions and recommendations many have given her to come out SAFER and HEALTHIER, by avoiding the many substances that can mess with our ability to live a “normal” life.
