The Lichten Wellness Institute "No more Lipitor®, Synthroid®, Prozac®, Viagra®, Premarin®, Fosmax® or Androgel® and other good news!" In his best-selling and easy-reading Textbook of Bio- Identical Hormones, Edward M. Lichten, M.D., explains why he practices a kinder, gentler old-fashioned kind of medicine. "You cannot make a diagnosis" without allowing the patient adequate time to tell his or her story," said Dr. Lichten. New patients see him for a full hour and repeat patients get appointments of at least 30 minutes. After a 30-plus-year practice with more than 150,000 patient-visits in Oakland County Lichten is adamant that a doctor in his field must recognize and consider replacing natural hormones first. "They are safer and better than synthetic drugs because our bodies have used natural hormones for 5 million years to keep the human race alive," he said. "I believe in maintaining these hormones at youth- ful levels throughout life." While synthetic drugs are sometimes necessary, being unnatural, they are not his first choice. At the old Sinai Hospital in Detroit, Dr. Lichten was instrumental in finding new and safer treatments for menstrual pain, PMS, fibromyalgia and migraine. In the 1990s, he found that men as well as women expe- rienced the mid-life crisis that a drop in hormones can cause. Dr. Lichten reported in national lectures to his colleagues the results of his scientific studies: replac- ing testosterone gave men more vigor and vitality, eliminating the need for Viagra®; but also, surpris- ingly, reversing the need for much of the medication prescribed to treat diabetes and heart disease. The patients now coming to Lichten Wellness Insti- tute from 27 states and four continents are confident that Dr. Lichten's medical practice offers the most up- to-date knowledge of applying natural medical treat- ments for many chronic diseases. With natural hormones being safe, simple, effective and easily understood, maybe it's time to consider a second opinion to your own medicine chest full of synthetic drugs. At age 60, Dr. Edward Lichten credits his vitality to using natural hormones and vitamins. The board-cer- adoeribentent tified obstetrician-gynecologist plays tennis for two hours at a stretch, works out regularly with a trainer and out-performs his 19-year-old son at weightlifting. An Ohio native, he's a graduate of Ohio State Uni- versity Medical School in Columbus and a fellow in both the American College of Surgeons and College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Lichten moved to Farmington Hills in 1978 and formerly taught at Wayne State University Medical School. With wife Carolynne and children Michael and Cara, the Lichtens are 30-year members of Temple Beth El in Birmingham.
