Skidmore says, “When I went to medical school, I noticed that much of the pathology was of “unknown” causes and often considered “incurable”. Yet there are plenty of statistics about pharmacological drugs, their side effects and their prognoses. Most of those pharmaceuticals treat only symptom, not causes, and actually create more problems by inhibiting the innate self-healing mechanism of the body.”
At Gulf Coast Holistic and Primary Care, “We believe that family medicine should provide continuing, comprehensive health care for the individual and family,” says Skidmore. “Our difference lies in our holistic vision, which in addition to biological, clinical and behavioral considerations, can view the patient’s underlying causes, for which we offer a more Eastern view of health and its restoration to overall wellness. It is my mission to provide holistic care and treat the disease, and not just the symptoms, to give the body a chance to heal on its own, which it is designed to do.”
