"Comparison of Alternative Medicine and Conventional Medicine" and daily health secrets.
Stan M. Gardner, MD, was trained in traditional Western medicine. He received a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Utah State University, attended medical school in the Philippines (where he learned firsthand about alternative methods of healing), did a residency in Pediatrics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and practiced conventional medicine for 15 years. He has practiced alternative and energy medicine for over 10 years.
I love your articles. I only wish that physicians like you were the norm rather than the exception.

I need to get off of caffeine. I became addicted to it after suffering headaches and taking excedrin. Now I have rebound headaches and even diet coke fills in when I need an extra boost. I have tried weening myself off and never made it. Is that the only way off?
There are only 2 ways to stop the addiction to caffeine--cold turkey and have a miserable 3-7 days or slowly, which just prolongs the misery, and may not work. My wife's mother described herself as a 'coffee-a-holic', drinking up to 13 cups per day. She stopped cold turkey, had a miserable few days, and has never touched it since. Sometimes energy work like acupuncture or Jin Shin Jyutsu or cranial-sacral may take away some of the side effects. Be sure you are on a good multiple vitamin, as this may also help with your strength and your resolve.

Dr. Gardner,
You and I went to USU together. It’s nice to see your website.
Where is your practice located? Are you accepting new patients?
Appreciate the daily health reminders.

Wendy, Nice to hear from you–it’s been a long time (?38 years). Cristie and I are located in Grafton, Ohio. I practice at Preventive Medicine Group in Westlake, a western suburb of Cleveland, and am accepting new patients. I’m glad you are enjoying the health secrets.
