About
About Dr. DeAndrea and his natural approach:
After medical school doctor D studied Internal Medicine and General Surgery, stuck with the system and then had a change in focus.
Disheartened with Western Medicine and the “dangling carrot” cure mentality he sought an alternative approach. Along the way he experienced everything from folk healing to psychedelic shamanism.
His journey eventually led him toward Holistic Medicine. He applied the principles of holistic medicine in South Central Los Angeles for 5 years. The results were miraculous! In 1997 NBC, ABC and Hard Copy reported that heart disease, diabetes, cancer and even AIDS cases were reversed in a little ghetto clinic when the “holy cure” was replaced with good old fashioned healing.
“Curing is for pickles, healing is for people,” says Doctor DeAndrea.
Above all doctor D believes healing can be fun. In 1998, he and Woody Harrelson joined forces to open the first oxygen bar in America. The bar introduced living foods, herbal drinks and oxygen as the most healthy way to party!
Dr. DeAndrea is co-founder of the 21 Day Detox, a program that teaches people how to be their own doctor. His program was featured on Lifetime Television, CNN and CBS: 48 Hours in 2003. He is the author of The Fat Cure, the secrets to rapid and permanent weight loss launched in 2007 on a nationwide cable television infomercial campaign.
Dr. DeAndrea is presently the Chief of Integrative Medicine for MediCann, the state leader in Medical Marijuana recommendations with nine locations in California. doctor D always integrates his treatments with green medicine. His goal is to use the best of both the East and the West to get the most successful result for the patient.
