    OUR HEALTH IS MUCH MORE
    IN OUR OWN HANDS
    THAN WE REALIZE

Integrative Family Physician for 50 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.
