Imagine waking up in a wheelchair, fully disabled, wondering how you’re going to adjust to your new lifestyle with no expectations on recovery. You’re sitting there as a board-certified Internal Medicine Physician with fear, anxiety, stress and disbelief that you can never walk again. You dedicate countless hours, minutes and seconds to a career that suddenly has no value to you. It’s not your typical scenario to finding a new path in life, but for Dr. Mark Ghalili it changed everything.
His life took an unexpected turn when he became severely ill and disabled by the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, a diagnosis he brought to light known as fluoroquinolone toxicity. Using alternative and regenerative medicine therapies and following a plant-based diet, Dr. Ghalili made a complete recovery, only to discover that millions of others were affected with similar side effects. There are about a thousand thoughts running through your head for people with disabilities of all types, whether they’re visible or hidden. Will they ask me what happened? Will they ask me if this is permanent? Are people staring at me? Do people feel bad for me? Do they think I’m making this up? It’s common to experience feelings of being misunderstood, but having the traditional medical community shun him for speaking out against the dangers of the pharmaceutical industry, has helped him start a world class medical practice serving individuals who are not getting better visiting their doctors.
Although he is no longer driven by the pharmaceutical industry, he has a new passion for Regenerative Medicine, where you can restore your health without resorting to toxic and damaging medications. Dr. Ghalili took it upon himself to create a center that focuses on rebuilding the mitochondria of the body. His intelligence, confidence and knowledge of Regenerative Medicine and his recovery makes him the most credible source for alternative therapies. His path to success has been following his own protocols and trusting his own judgement to the best interests of his patients. He started his own practice in a small room with no windows, to a well-known high rise building overlooking the beautiful city of West Hollywood.
Dr. Ghalili has devoted his entire life to his practice and his patients, such as athletes, nurses, young adults and even doctors, seeking help from the dangerous side effects of the pharmaceutical industry. Just recently, he treated the host, Dr. Andrew Ordon from “The Doctors” TV show, who had a health scare after having a bad reaction to Fluoroquinolones. Once Dr. Ordon was diagnosed with Achilles Tendonitis, he visited Dr. Ghalili who created a customized IV treatment protocol that actually helps rebuild the mitochondria within the tendon and Dr. Ordon says after enduring this health scare, he will no longer take or prescribe fluoroquinolone antibiotics. He urges everyone to ask questions about the antibiotics your Doctor is prescribing and what your alternative options are.
Dr. Ghalili’s passion lies in providing alternative and natural remedies for his patients and has dedicated his life to all that are living with any type of disability. He vows to help every patient who feels they are being neglected by traditional medicine and will provide comprehensive care to those looking to regain their health and vitality. Dr. Ghalili was persistent to gain his normal life back, so he could help millions around the world with not only adverse drug reactions to Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics, but to any ailment which traditional medicine has failed.
