Dr Harold Mandels Online General Practice Office

Personal Statement from Dr Harold Mandel:

I am licensed to practice medicine by New York State. A primary area of interest of mine is Natural Health Care which I believe should be used whenever possible in order to safely and effectively help prevent and cure medical illnesses. However, due to a realization that in this era without the development of certain drugs such as antibiotics the morbidity and mortality of patients would be tragically higher I support a school of thought called Complementary Medicine wherein I believe in many instances when drugs can help save lives they should be used alongside Natural Health Care remedies.

However, in the area of mental health care I am a purist when it comes to Natural Health Care. I have discovered that the psychiatric drugs are generally toxic poisons which mimic the mental illnesses they are supposed to be treating and worse. And the mental hospitals are all filthy concentration camps which have absolutely no therapeutic value. And so I do not support the use of psychiatric drugs or mental hospitals for anyone against their desires. And due to the realization that psychiatry has become a filthy, corrupt, and abusive discipline in this era I have founded Dr Harold Mandels Natural Mental Health Care Reform Foundation which can be found at its link to this online office.

I want to thank Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health Science Center, Syracuse, for his lifetime of inspirational anti-psychiatry work which has had a great influence on my anti-psychiatry perspectives. It has been my finding that an appreciation of anti-psychiatry perspectives often helps patients learn to survive and fully recover from the painful stigma of having been labelled as being mentally ill.   

I also want to extend my deep appreciation to Dr John Murtagh for having helped me develop an identification as a General Practitioner with his brilliant text, General Practice, which I personally feel is the best text on General Practice available internationally. Following is a quote from Dr Murtagh's text which I always keep in mind:

                                               In a healing profession obsessed with interventionism, invasive technology,

                                               and drug management, the general practitioner has an obligation to his or

                                               her patients to use natural healing methods wherever possible and be very

                                               discerning and conservative with investigatory medicine.

                                               Patients appreciate natural remedies and taking responsibility for their

                                               own management wherever possible and appropriate. Examples include

                                               relative rest, exercise, swimming, stress management, meditation, spiritual

                                               awareness, antioxidant therapy, (eg. vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium), weight

                                               control, optimal healthy nutrition, avoidance of toxins (eg. illicit drugs,

                                               nicotine, caffeine and alcohol) and sexual fulfilment.

                                                Underlying a successful outcome is motivation, and the healing power

                                                of the physician in being the motivator, teacher and facilitator should

                                                never be underestimated.

At this time I am offering Natural Health Care products for sale for anyone interested from the Amazon Associates stores linked to this online office. I can not offer controlled substances and many other drugs to the public from this online office due to federal and state regulations regarding the prescribing of these drugs.
