Your Health is Wealth with Dr. Akoury

Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 12:30pm on WFXB FOX TV

Special guests: Dr. Gregory Smith and Dr. Fouad Ghaly

Too often headlines shout about another celebrity dying due to the complications of addiction, many using street drugs like cocaine and heroin, prescription drugs, or a combination of both, including alcohol. In too many cases doctors are a large part of the problem with a quickness to prescribe painkillers, rather than discover what the root cause of the patient’s pain might be and treating it, thus creating a potential addict.

The latest celebrity addiction deaths, Corey Montieth and Lisa Robin Kelly, are two rising young actors who were cut down way too soon. It’s hard not to notice the celebrity deaths, they make news, but what about the millions of addiction deaths that never make news? Along with celebrities, all addicts must be offered treatment, treatment that works.

“Soccer moms” and executives have joined the ranks of the addicted at an alarming rate!

Too many addicts go through the revolving door of rehab centers all across America. Why do they relapse? Why do they go back into rehab? Something is missing in the available treatments that is not addressing the complete problem.

There is help!

There are doctors, treatment programs, and centers that recognize, and have pinpointed the problems inherent with addiction and have found more effective ways to treat addicts.

Dr. Gregory Smith, Dr. Fouad Ghaly and Dr. Dalal Akoury  are doctors that are out to change the attitudes and assist Americans out of the slavery of drug addiction, and all types of addiction. (smoking, alcohol, sex, food, etc.) Addiction is not just a problem with lower economic citizens, it’s found it’s way into the lives of the professional sector and is growing rapidly.  Many professionals with addictions are reluctant to seek help, embarrassed to admit there is a problem, and oftentimes lose everything, family, money, jobs, and most important, their health.

Dr. Gregory Smith is the President of Comprehensive Pain Relief Group which specializes in relief of chronic pain and prescription pain killer addiction through integrative medical approaches. There are offices located in Torrence, Fresno and Studio City, California. For detailed information about the facility and it’s protocols, please visit the website:  PainReliefGroup.Com

Dr. Smith is the producer of the film American Addict which reveals the relationships between the FDA, big Pharma, physicians and the media that are in place to ensure that medical problems are treated primarily with pills. 

Dr. Fouad Ghaly joins the show to discuss treatment options for all types of addiction. Dr. Ghaly practices in Torrence and Beverly Hills, CA and Aspen, CO and has been the doctor to many celebrities.  He is recognized as one of the most influential physicians working in the field of regenerative medicine therapies and the Founder of The Ghaly Center of Regenerative Medicine.

This show will teach viewers about the differences in addiction treatment options, what works and what doesn’t work, and their collective opinion that the body must be treated as a whole;  spirit, mind and body, to expect a total cure for addictions. Restoration of the body’s imbalances must occur for a successful addiction treatment, as well as long term commitment by the patient to continue maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

 Addiction to painkillers is one of the most frequent issues now being seen among addiction specialists. Patients with pain need to know there are other ways to alleviate the pain, going to the root of what’s causing the pain and treating it instead of offering prescriptions at higher and higher doses.
