Finally, Part IV takes you into the realm of the future of health care if we do nothing, and presents the possibilities and action plans that must be implemented to change things for the better, both on a personal level and political platform.

"The Case for Alternative Health Care sets itself apart from other books on the subject by describing at length, with language that virtually everyone can comprehend, these and other self-empowering concepts. I believe that this is knowledge that will change the way we think and act; knowledge that will inspire positive action on a personal, familial and political level. I also believe that the concepts and suggestions in this book, if adopted on a large scale, could save billions of dollars now currently being wasted, not to mention countless lives. Fortunately, even if these strategies are adopted by just you and your family, the benefits could easily be just as profound."
Dr. Charles May, M.D. M.S.O.M.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas K. Ockler P.T. received his Bachelors of Science diploma in Physical Therapy from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1978. After moving to Ohio that same year to begin practice, he soon became quite disenfranchised with what he witnessed in hospital based health care. He spent 11 years in that same mid-western hospital system and 9 of those years were as an administrator. After those very conflicted years he resigned his administrative position and set out on his own to begin searching for alternatives to conventional physical therapy, as well as conventional mainstream health care protocols, including self-directed preventative techniques that not only prolong our lives, but also extend our “thrife” expectancy…how long we will thrive.

His search and promotion of a better health care “mousetrap” has taken him all over the world, teaching in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and throughout the United States of America. In his 29 year journey of clinical practice and discovery, Tom has brought forth some of the most simple and common sense approaches to reversing our personal health care death spirals, while developing the ability to teach them in understandable and often humorous ways. His teaching methods and writing style has prompted some of his students and patients to give him the nick-name of “The Patch Adams” of Physical Therapy. He remains, to this day, a highly sought after international presenter and continues to teach seminars utilizing his techniques to eliminate musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, as well as the emotional / energetic factors which accompany them.

In 1999, facing what was described by his peers as certain failure, Tom founded and opened Alternative HealthCare Solutions; a physical therapy practice like no other he had ever heard of. This practice was designed to attract patients with the most difficult and stubborn physical issues (what we in the business sometimes call the frequent flyers) and to correct those issues in rapid order. Tom’s practice continues to draw patients from all over the USA as well as Canada and Europe.
