Dr. Ou finds that most of alternative and holistic medicine is inconsistent
People seeking alternatives to conventional medicine are often confused by which of the bewildering number of therapies and practitioners to trust. Dr. Ou, co-founder of Bridges to Health, has spent many years studying and testing countless so-called alternative therapies. They all have wonderful theories about healing and they all have some impressive testimonials, but in practice, he has been disappointed that the vast majority of them produced inconsistent and limited results in his practice, especially with more complex and serious illnesses.
He has learned through experience that just because a treatment is described using buzzwords such as "natural", "holistic", or "clinically proven" does not mean that effective healing can take place. Part of the problem is that most alternative therapies share the same flawed philosophy as conventional medicine of suppressing symptoms without addressing why the body was unable to heal itself to begin with. For example, it is popular in holistic medicine to use natural hormones to correct low levels. However, Dr. Ou believes that genuine healing is about helping the body to correct hormone levels on its own whenever possible.
Dr. Ou has created a Natural Healing Program which focuses on helping the body to heal itself instead of suppressing symptoms
In order to learn how to consistently create long term improvements in health, Dr. Ou has met some of the most innovative and extraordinary healers in the world who are successful with those who have failed both conventional and alternative therapies. Their "secret" is understanding that the major causes of disease today are different than in the past. For this reason, treatments such as using nutrients, herbs, and hormones don't work nearly as well as they did even compared to 10 years ago.
He frequently works with fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, hormone disorders (male, female, adrenal, thyroid, Hashimoto's), brain fog, and many other conditions. Most of his patients are complex with multiple medical problems and have seen many other conventional, alternative, and integrative doctors with limited success. In most cases, he has been able to identify and correct the underlying causes that were not previously found or addressed, such as food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, chronic infections, toxicity, and hormone imbalances through the use of advanced laboratory testing.
Dr. Ou is uniquely qualified in both conventional and alternative medicine
Conventionally, Dr. Ou graduated Cum Laude in Physics with Distinction in All Subjects from Cornell University, received his M.D. from the University of Miami School of Medicine on a four year scholarship, and completed his residency in internal medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in 1999. He has been board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine since 1999.
From a holistic standpoint, Dr. Ou has trained with Institute for Functional Medicine and is one of only a handful of M.D.'s in the U.S. on Dr. Datis Kharrazian's referral list of practitioners who are trained in his cutting edge approach to Hashimoto's Disease and other thyroid and autoimmune disorders. He is also trained in the management of biotoxin illness through the work of Ritchie Shoemaker, MD and Dietrich Klinghardt, MD. He is also a leader in cutting edge systems of energy medicine. He is one of only a few M.D.'s in the U.S. certified in NES Health and Matrix Energetics, and one of the first U.S. doctors trained in Theragem electronic gem therapy.
Because of his unique experience, he has spoken to medical students at the Emory University School of Medicine and to international leaders in alternative medicine in New York, London, and Atlanta. He continues to share his knowledge with integrative health practitioners throughout the country.
