Dr. David Brownstein, a board-certified family physician and director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, shares his remarkable journey from conventional medicine to becoming a leading practitioner of holistic approaches. His transformation began when he experienced career dissatisfaction and was introduced to functional biochemistry by a chiropractor, Dr. Robert Radke. The turning point came when Dr. Brownstein successfully treated his father's severe heart disease with natural thyroid and testosterone hormones, leading to the disappearance of angina symptoms within just seven days. During the COVID-19 pandemic, while many medical offices closed, Dr. Brownstein and his staff continued treating patients using established holistic therapies. Despite facing challenges from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which forced him to remove information about his successful treatments from his website, Dr. Brownstein persisted in his approach. He treated over 500 COVID-19 patients with remarkable results - no deaths and only a few hospitalizations. Dr. Brownstein's COVID-19 treatment protocol focuses on supporting the immune system through high doses of vitamins A, C, and D, along with iodine and nebulized hydrogen peroxide. He emphasizes the importance of starting these therapies at the first sign of illness to prevent cytokine storms and provide antiviral and antibacterial support. Patients typically reported significant improvements in breathing and overall symptoms within days of beginning treatment. Throughout the interview, Dr. Brownstein highlights the fundamental philosophy of holistic medicine: supporting the body's innate healing abilities through proper nutrition, hydration, and avoiding toxins. He contrasts this approach with conventional medicine's focus on treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals without addressing underlying causes. Dr. Brownstein advocates for a healthcare system that prioritizes preventive measures and holistic approaches. The conversation concludes with Dr. Brownstein discussing the broader implications of the pandemic, including the need for better public health education and policies. He acknowledges the role of vaccines in preventing severe COVID-19 cases while also calling for proper safety studies of adverse effects. Dr. Brownstein ultimately advocates for a balanced approach that combines the best of conventional and holistic medicine to support overall health and well-being.
