  The Appreciative Medicine Dialogue Process

Creating a Life of Ultimate Health: How healthy did you feel the last time you left the doctor's office? Most physicians follow a sick-model of medicine - once they've treated the illness at hand, you're left to your own devices in terms of creating a lifestyle that is conducive to maintaining maximum health. Dr. Franklin's Appreciative MedicineTM offers an alternative approach. It shows patients how to be proactive - not reactive - and teaches people how to work one-on-one with their physician to develop a plan for long-term physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Audiences will leave with a four-step "Question and Answer" process they can bring to their next doctor's appointment in order to begin their journey toward enjoying the best health of their life.
 
The Integrative Cure: For serious conditions, one treatment is never enough. Learn what traditional and alternative treatments can be best combined to heal obesity, back pain, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. This topic is ideal for anyone who has tried the pills, the prescriptions, and followed their doctor's orders - to no avail. Audiences will discover how a synergistic and integrative approach to medicine will help them cure immediate health issues and prevent further illness and injury down the road.
