Welcome to AskDrSkip!

Welcome to AskDrSkip.com!  This website is a culmination of years of clinical experience and personal research.  The research conducted has taken Dr. Skip from Orlando, Florida to New Delhi, India. You will find as this site takes shape, that it is filled with information, products, therapies and resources that have come from use personally with family and friends as well as professionally with patients.

Dr. Skip has gone through the “flowers” in the field of holistic medicine and picked out the “weeds”.  These “flowers” that remain are from almost 10 years of research which are included (and as more are found they will continue to be posted) here on the site and the on-line store.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us to set-up a consultation. It is a great honor and passion of our community to share this knowledge with you.

The ultimate goal is to work with products and therapies that are safe and effective.  There is an extreme hesitation to use a missile on something when only a pellet gun is needed. The focus is to have products that work (as seen in clinical practice and through research) to be beneficial for your health with minimal side effects.

Also, it is super important for you to have a co-pilot in your health care.  Please seek out and find a practitioner that has your best interests at heart, not the interests of the insurance or drug companies.  You are in charge of your health and your health care practitioner works for you!

If they are unwilling to listen to your requests for “alternative” methods of treatments, get your stuff and leave. Find another practitioner, one that is open and willing to listen.  More and more people are seeing everyday that drugs and surgery are not always the answer.  I am not saying, never… It is just that these methods are way over used and with minimal change in health of the patient or possibly a worsening of the condition.

I have lost count of all the times I have heard patients tell me about there medications and they were given this pill to treat that symptom and then suddenly they are on a boat load of meds and really can’t remember why.  There is a time and place for every type of medicine.  You would not elicit my help if you were in a car accident.  The Emergency Department physicians excel at treating this type of accident.  The conventional community excels at acute treatments, but unfortunately fails miserably at treating chronic diseases.

Thank you for taking your precious time to explore our site. It is a pleasure to be an advocate for you all as well as being able to point you in the right direction, when needed.
