11-15-24 New Medicine: Dr. Elson Haas
The health of our young people is particularly important because bad habits learned early can have disastrous short-term and long-term consequences, as we see with the alarming rates of childhood obesity and early onset diabetes. Therefore a key passion is to teach young people to caring for the one and only body they each possess, with love and respect. Teaching children about how their bodies work and how to take care of themselves by making nourishing choices and learning the difference between real food and treats is critically important work for each of us as individuals and as a society.
Integrative Family Physician 40 Years. Author of 11 health books Dr. Haas approaches diagnosis and treatment with the maxim “Lifestyle first, Natural therapies next, drugs or surgery last.” His unique integration of Natural, Eastern and Western medical approaches, which he calls NEW Medicine, is built on restoring proper body physiology, and supporting healthy cells and tissues in order to promote healing. It recognizes proper nutrition as the cornerstone of health and also includes elimination diets and detoxification practices, often with a seasonal focus. Dr. Haas has practiced this philosophy for more than 40 years in his work as an integrative family physician, incorporating these practices within an insurance model at his clinic, the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, CA, where he and an extensive team of practitioners and staff have provided care to their patients since 1984. The origin of the word doctor is the Latin “docere” meaning “to teach” and Elson believes that health education is crucial in helping people become proactive in their journey towards optimal health. He is the author of 11 books on various aspects of integrative healing including the classic Staying Healthy with the Seasons, as well as Staying Healthy with Nutrition, The Detox Diet, The False Fat Diet, Ultimate Immunity and his latest, Staying Healthy with NEW Medicine.
