Dr. John A. Casey, M. D., M. D.M. A., O. M.D. of International Health and Beauty, who combines Western medicine with alternative therapies, was recently featured in The Network Journal. The New York magazine is dedicated to educating and empowering Black professionals and small business owners.
The article, "A Holistic Approach to Healing," explains his practice and the alternative ways he uses medicine and the use of herbs and Oriental practices to find more effective treatments. Casey, M. D. also asks each new patient to provide their medical records so he can study the conventional treatment methods and provide a more holistic approach to healing the ailment. Many of his patients turn to this approach when they have exhausted their medical options and are still suffering with the illness.
While studying medicine in Dominica and Sri Lanka, Casey, M. D. learned unconventional ways of medicine. "'I walk a fine line as both a medical doctor and a naturalist,' he told The Network Journal writer Antoine B. Craigwell. "' With my training in Western medicine, I'm unable to let it go completely for Eastern or natural medicine. To me, the conventional training in anatomy goes counter to many natural practices.'"
Dr. Casey has taught health sciences at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York City for the past 20 years as well as anatomy and nutrition at York College in Jamaica, N. Y. With the help of his wide, Dr. Casey was able to serve more than 1,000 patients in 2007.
