The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook is a force for good. It is much greater than the author, the editors, you (my audience of readers), or anything that is even related to health and healing. It is an integral part of our world that is crucial for the survival of humanity and for our progress toward a higher consciousness as a species. This book came through me. I do not consider it to have been written by me. Humanity is constantly evolving. This book aids in pushing your evolution upward in the right direction … toward greater health and happiness for yourself and all beings—for the greater good of all of humanity now and for future generations. If we fail, there may not be any future generations. We are now at a very critical point in history. A crossroads. Please read this book and share it with others. Pay it forward. Now more than at any other point in recorded history, the world needs deep and profound healing.

-Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff

This book is dedicated to and named after my late father,

Alan Zachary Skolnikoff, who always believed in the importance

of family from the very beginning until the very end.

I am very fortunate to have had him as my caring and loving father.

Thank you, Al.

Acknowledgments

It is impossible to give credit to every person who contributed to this book, but I would like to point out a few key individuals. My greatest gratitude goes to my beautiful and beloved wife, Ivette Skolnikoff, who supported me with all my dedication and many months of hard work on Inflammation Solutions Handbook. Thanks very much to my editor, Sky Nuttall; Alia Marie, my proofreader; and Dominick Domasky for powering through and making the last edit and format possible. I thank all of you for your crucial help with this book.

I want to thank Sylvester Stallone, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Marc Siegel from Fox News, four-time undefeated world heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, JP Sears, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Tony Robbins, Mixed Martial Arts Gold Medalist Janae Noonan, and Grant Cardone. Their contributions helped more people learn about a better, safer, and faster way to heal without excessive prescriptions, dangerous surgeries, frightening radiation procedures, or poisonous injections.

I would not be the doctor or person I am today without the tireless efforts, energies, therapies, focus, dedication, talent, and intelligence of Dr. Timothy D. Francis. A special thanks also goes to Dr. Scott Walker, who developed many of the emotional therapies that I now use. Thanks also to the late Dr. David Walther and Dr. George Goodheart, along with Dr. Victor Frank, who kept fighting for humanity’s good health until the end. They may have passed on, but their memories remain, and their contributions to humanity persist and expand. I should also mention the dedication and love of Dr. John Thie, who created A Touch for Health that Matthew Thie now continues in his name and tradition. My appreciation goes to Dr. David Hawkins, M.D., for his contributions and accomplishments, including the Map of Human Consciousness and rating systems. Thanks to Louise L. Hay and Hay House Publishing for their strong ethics and for bringing so many valuable books to the public that help the average American. Speaking of which, please, as soon as possible, listen to the free audio introduction of Louise Haye’s book, You Can Heal Your Life.

I must acknowledge my late father, whom this book is about and to whom it is dedicated. If it were not for his need for modesty, practicality, and logic, I might be in quite a bit of trouble today.

Thanks also to Cutting Edge Studio for the cover of the book and other support.

The OFF Formula

You may ask yourself, Why am I reading this book? Regardless of the reason, the primary one is likely because you are dissatisfied, frustrated, or confused about some core aspects of your life or your health. This is very troubling, and you may be conscious or unconscious of this.

A medical healthcare book unlike any other, this book has the potential to help you transform and rejuvenate your health and claim the life that you have always wanted. This may sound unbelievable, but I promise that if you go through this book and go beyond the simple application of what you learn, you will get results beyond your wildest dreams. Let me be both clear and blunt; this book is a book. This book is written by a doctor, but the book is not a doctor. This book WILL NOT GET YOU TO THAT PROMISED UTOPIAN LAND that you see in your dreams unless you go BEYOND what is in the book. You will have to use some of the healthcare service programs suggested that make up The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You. A book is not New Medicine. A book is a book—nothing more and nothing less than a book. By fully committing to the suggestions given in the book, you will be at the very beginning point of being able to experience and appreciate the healing power of The Skolnikoff Method, but you will not actually be using The Skolnikoff Method. You will only be fussing around with it and doing some type of independent experiment.

How long do you want to take to start feeling your best? This may sound like bad news, but it is good news. By fully committing to these health principles, your life will NOT improve in ways you never thought possible. It will only improve ever so slightly because the lessons are not a true representation of The Skolnikoff Method. The Skolnikoff Method is not about some New Medicine that will help you strengthen your energy levels, sleep better at night, reduce stress or anxiety, or even improve your immune system health, hormone balance, and sex life. These benefits capture only a microscopic part of what The Skolnikoff Method can do for you and your life. The Skolnikoff Method changes who you are at your core. It is about developing a new YOU for real. These are not just fancy words. The results of this approach have already been documented over and over again. The New Medicine is not actually new. It goes back thousands of years, in some cases, even further than recorded history itself.

These are the lost healing modalities of the millennium hidden in plain sight from our modern world. The Skolnikoff Method is next to useless if you don’t USE IT. Thanks to modern advances in technology that have recently become available through the Internet, Zoom, Skype, and other technological breakthroughs, this has all become possible. You can benefit from a personalized approach and work one-on-one with a doctor who is a specialist at helping you with your specific symptom patterns … a doctor that has documented results over and over and over again with over 6,000 patients during his 17-year career.

This incredible healing system of checks and balances—this biofeedback system of organized, energetic intelligence—addresses the underlying causes of health concerns at their root. When applied correctly, this method allows your symptoms to leave permanently. The New Medicine enables the most incredible, laser-sharp diagnoses imaginable, promoting deep and permanent healing. If you truly desire this, and you’re ready to change, you’ve come to the right place.

Make no mistake about it; these life transformational therapies will not be handed to you on a silver platter. Anything worth having is worth working for. Abraham Lincoln once said, God gives to those who help themselves, but only what is left over from those who hustled.

There is nothing sweeter tasting than transforming every aspect of your life and your health for the better quickly. Your options change. Your friends change. Your income changes. Your priorities change. Your ability to positively influence others in your community changes. And you become a better-looking, happier, healthier, and more energetic version of your best self.

This book is for YOU because you deserve more, and you deserve better. You deserve to have the health, energy, relationships, and life you always dreamed of. Nothing should stop you from this fulfillment, and I want to help you achieve this dream.

I hope that you learn and benefit from the suggestions in this book. Some of these lessons are just simple common sense. For example, if a type of food is making you sick, then don’t eat it. More than 20 dedicated years of my life have gone into retrieving this information to create a book geared toward helping the people that most commonly come to our healing center for help with their health. These people suffer from excess weight, autoimmune disease, thyroid disease, mood disorders, hormone imbalance, and other chronic metabolic conditions.

Despite the beliefs of marketing agencies and big fancy distribution networks, healing does not come from having some special herb, lotion, or potion. Health is not dependent upon marine algae, Chaga mushrooms, pure essential oil, or alkaline water.

Health and healing require BALANCE. The foundational approach of any experienced healthcare provider is in establishing more BALANCE to the health of their patients. We all have spiritual, emotional, mental, structural, chemical, psycho-social, and financial imbalances. So, where do you start?

Great question. The Skolnikoff Method unveils a blueprint of healthcare to take sick, distraught, depleted, confused, tired, and unhappy people from where they are now to where they want to be. You may possibly be one of the people that I am talking about; after all, you are reading this now. You want to be well-rested, healthy, happy, energetic, and relaxed. This can only happen if you transform the most unbalanced parts of your self into a state of balance.

You may ask, How do I do that?

I’ll tell you.

I’m Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff, originator and founder of The Skolnikoff Method that helps you:

Get OFF prescription medications.

Get OFF false and misleading chronic disease management philosophies.

Get OFF the blood sugar roller coaster filled with ups and downs in your mood and energy

Get OFF the yo-yo diets that don’t allow you to maintain a healthy weight long-term successfully

Get OFF the medical insurance-based management cabal.

The Skolnikoff Method allows you to get ON Track with the life and health you have been desperately and silently craving.

I am the developer of the OFF Formula that includes:

Oxygen

Food

Fun

When you follow the OFF Formula, you can have the Oxygen you need for good health. You know what type of Food to eat, how much to eat, and how often. Your life becomes Fun, and it flows with happiness because you are now healthier and functioning at a higher level. With our proprietary Path to Health and your very own personalized program, you will discover the NEW YOU.

I just lost my father recently. My father was not very supportive of my career at all. He wanted me to be like a traditional physician who didn’t delve into these media issues, and he didn’t like when people would criticize me and the like. Like yourself, he never thought what I was doing made any sense. I don’t want my son to listen to me either. I want him to do what is best for him. I think our fathers are supposed to push us … my father let go eventually.

- Dr. Mehmet Oz—Host of The Dr. Oz Show

My father was also a doctor who was confused and not very supportive. He couldn’t figure out what was going on with me. He was a family doctor.

- Dr. Drew Pinsky—Host of Love Lines Radio Show

I believe that functional medicine and integrative medicine are very important. I was a physical therapist before I became a medical doctor.

- Dr. Joycelyn Elders—15th Surgeon General of the United States

Inflammation leads to cancer and cancer is what happens when your body is rotting from the inside. My previous wife died of inflammation that led to her 4th stage cancer. I know that there is a cure for cancer that grows from the earth and can be achieved with certain therapies, but 90% of healthcare providers don’t know the stuff that Dr. Ilya knows so they are not able to help their cancer patients. It would have been good to know Dr. Skolnikoff sooner.

-(Duane Chapman) Dog the Bounty Hunter

Sadly, my father has aged terribly during the pandemic as so many old people have, active old people. It drives me nuts some of this stuff. Politically, my father was very much a Thatcherite, very much a supporter of Margaret and the big reforms that she brought to this country (England). Both of my parents were very supportive of what I did…although, I think my mother more so would regret some of the impact that it has had within the family. This stuff causes a lot of tension. Some of the things that the tabloid papers write about… I mean you read it and… I wish that some of it was true.

-Lord Nigel Farage (Developer of Brexit which allowed England to European Union and keep their sovereign British pound)

My previous personal trainer, Franco Columbu, was a chiropractor and bodybuilder. He helped me to prepare for Rambo 2. I owe a lot to Franco and chiropractic. I have used hormones for many years. Ayurvedic herbs have helped me a great deal as well. My father was very supportive of my career and even played a role as a timekeeper in Rocky.

-Sylvester Stallone

INTRODUCTION

My father was a psychiatrist. I am also a medical practitioner. Yet, we always practiced in vastly different ways. In the following work, I will share stories and anecdotes about growing up with my dad and details about the intricacies of our relationship.

My father and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye. Though, in a way, he has become the inspiration for this book. My father practiced the Old Medicine, but I am sharing with you the New Medicine. I use anecdotes about my father to show you where I came from and why I do what I do. Frequently, I compare and contrast the way my father handled medicine with the way I practice, demonstrating effective alternatives to the mainstream medical world.

The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook is a revolutionary approach to health and happiness. We use a variety of techniques to achieve maximum results. Some of these techniques date back thousands of years. Our approach is simple: we integrate methodologies from various cultures into a unified medical program.

If the Old Medicine—the traditional medicine—failed you, you’ve come to the right place.

If you simply want to consider alternative methods of health and wellness, welcome!

And even if you consider yourself healthy, The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook will offer you techniques to achieve your FULL potential.

Join me on my journey that’s brought me to where I am today and see for yourself what we can do for your health and life.

My father passed away in 2016. And so my story begins ...

Since I became aware of this phenomenon, I’ve found that at least seventy percent of my patients were possessed, and it was this condition that caused their dis-ease.

- Edith Fiore (The Unquiet Dead)

At the young age of 26, I found myself lying on a chiropractic table in Burlingame, California, ready to receive my chiropractic adjustment and energetic healing. The year was 1993. I was three years into my eight-year stretch working for the network marketing company that would later come to be known as Equinox International Corporation and Advanced Marketing Seminars (AMS). When I first joined the company, they were called National Safety Associates, and they sold water treatment and air filtration systems. Advanced Marketing Seminars (AMS) existed at that time and acted as the training company for the independent sales organization that I had joined. National Safety Associates was the company that had initially come out with smoke alarms (carbon monoxide detectors) and brought them to market quickly when they were made mandatory by law. AMS was the training company that developed and trained salespeople in the downline sales force of Bill Gouldd, the marketing genius who ran the company. When he became disillusioned with the business practices and product line of National Safety Associates, he developed his own manufacturing company, Equinox International Corporation. Mr. Gouldd wanted to make the network marketing industry classier by creating the Equinox product line, which he joined together with his training company, AMS.

I began working with AMS in 1991, about 1.5 years before Bill Gouldd started Equinox International Corporation. I worked with Equinox and AMS for about 7.5 years. For three years, I poured my heart and soul into running my own small business with Equinox, selling water and air filters, along with nutrition, weight loss, and health products. These included products for skincare, hair care, and body care. During this time, I ran into several health concerns. For example, I had lower back pain, even though I was only 26 years old. I was exhausted most of the time, resulting from 85-hour work weeks for those three years. I was regularly angry, frustrated, and annoyed with people owing to the terrible experience with the medication I had taken to treat my acne. (You will hear more about my nightmare with acne later.) All this led to my health challenges, which brought me to Dr. Zaida Rivene’s office. Let’s get back to the story, with me lying there on Dr. Rivene’s table, waiting for treatment.

Before going into the treatment room, the chiropractor, Dr. Rivene, had me lay on a massage bed, which provided a motorized automatic massage for a few minutes. I enjoyed the fancy leather massage machine and how it felt on my back. It released my tension and helped me get more comfortable for my chiropractic visit. When I got into the treatment room, Dr. Rivene began to perform emotional therapy. She had me think about what was upsetting me in my 26-year-old life. I was out of balance. I worked as a salesperson doing direct sales for more than 75 hours a week without breaks for several years. I was not a very pleasant person. I was argumentative, rude, annoying, and sarcastic. This caused many people to lose interest in the products I sold, making it even more challenging to sell them.

My background in art and the social sciences was not making my new sales career any easier. Business and art are entirely different entities. No pun intended. I did not have a lot of skills or sales training. I wasn’t sure if I chose the right career because my three-year stint with AMS and Equinox International Corporation left me with less money and fewer friends than when I started. There were, however, some great benefits. I had the opportunity to socialize with many different people from all over the country while traveling. I stayed in nice hotels and began to develop my sales skills. I continued to learn more and more about business owners and their level of contentment with their individual careers/families. I noticed that the people who were married seemed to be much happier than those that were single. People who worked closely with their families in a family business were often more satisfied with their lives. There were many different patterns that I could see popping up repeatedly. Years later, when I chose to become a chiropractor and a Functional Medicine doctor, I benefited from discovering those happiness trends.

This may sound wonderful, except the entire experience was somewhat traumatic. It left me with a subclinical post-traumatic stress disorder that stayed with me for many years into my chiropractic career. It would be unwise for me to blame anyone other than myself. I hadn’t yet developed the perspective that would allow me to compare that traumatic experience to what a normal experience should be like. At the end of the day, I choose to be grateful for having had the experience that I had, but I sometimes wonder whether I might have been better off if I joined the military and developed that perspective instead. (The United States Army can be very physically demanding, and I know many people who got injured performing different types of simulation exercises. This can also be traumatic.) Let’s get back to our story at the chiropractor’s office …

I’m lying on the chiropractic table, and Dr. Rivene tells me, Think about what you are scared of in the present time.

She went through the different steps of her technique (Neuro Emotional Technique). Notably, she started saying words like paralyzed will, miffed, timid, inefficient, wishy-washy, comme si comme sa, … and then the word fear, which made the muscles in my arm get weak. As she pulled down on my arm, she would say the words dread, bad memory, contemplated, and impending doom. She was looking for the Neuro Emotional Complex that matched the conscious or unconscious emotion that I was having in that present moment. When she said fear, all my muscles became weak. She asked me, What do you fear in the present moment? I explained to her, I fear that I’ll never find a good career where I can make a good living and have a good life.

Dr. Rivene asked me to think about that fear. As I thought about that fear, she pulled down on my arm again. My arm got weak, and she continued talking. She was talking to my body—not to me. She said, Prior to conception, conception to birth, birth to 10. When she said at the time of birth, my arm got weak again. Then she asked me to think about what caused fear at the time of my birth. To this day, I get tearful thinking about the overwhelming fear surrounding my birth.

I still don’t know how it is possible that a 26-year-old could remember his or her own birth. Somehow, I was able to connect with the memory of being born into a cold, dark, and merciless world. I remembered (or imagined) coming out of my mother’s womb, being immediately taken from my mother, given a vitamin K solution containing propylene glycol, being hung upside down, and being smacked on my buttocks to make sure I was breathing.

It seemed that the entire birth process was very harsh, methodical, and uncaring. There was no love or compassion. My mother and father were happy to have me, but they did not celebrate that happiness and joy in the hospital room. The doctor didn’t have any training on how to welcome in a new life, neither did either of my parents. There was no doula or midwife there to support my mother.

At the moment of my birth, I came to the conclusion that the world into which I had been born did not care about me or my future. This was a harsh reality for a newborn. How could these people treat me the way they treated me from the beginning of my introduction into their world? Were they happy with their world? Did everyone in this world act the way that they did? Had there been some kind of mistake that brought me here? Was I supposed to be born into this world or another world?

While I lay there on the chiropractic table, thinking about my new world’s harshness, I began to cry. Dr. Rivene had done such a proficient job with her emotional therapy that it took me right back to the time of my birth. Once I finished crying, she explained a few things to me. She said that what I was going through at the age of 26 was just a tiny anchor securing my boat to the ocean floor. All I needed to do was to cut the chain to that anchor and free myself.

She explained that I was focusing on the anchor and the line of the anchor without noticing the huge ship on the surface of the ocean. My experience at 26 and my difficulty making enough money to pay for all my necessities was just a minuscule part of my vast life’s purpose and plan. Her analogy helped put things in perspective. When I look back on that time now, nearly 25 years later, I see that she was right. The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You allows everyone who really wants it to experience the same healing I experienced that day in Dr. Zaida Rivene’s office. This approach allows the doctor to meet the patient where they are at. Everyone is different. A person who is using 10 medications, has had two heart attacks, and smokes a pack of cigarettes each day will receive different care than someone who works out at the gym for an hour four times a week and does not use any medications.

Going back to my birth … What was I doing there in the hospital? What was my mission? Could I go back to where I had come from? Could my soul go back to its resting place and choose some other easier, happier, and more joyful path? I became very somber inside at the moment of my birth. I knew I couldn’t go back. The world was exactly as I was experiencing it. There was no great joy in celebrating newborns in my new world. The vitamin K procedure and the vaccinations that would follow made up the world in which I was bound to stay. Other than suicide or accidental death, I would have to live in this world for my entire life, making the most out of it or changing it if I was not happy with it.

Fast forward about 24 years. I am sitting in a workshop designed for some of the greatest healers on the planet, learning the most advanced healing skills available worldwide. The orchestrator of the workshop, Dr. Tim Francis, is taking turns demonstrating different therapies on his students. When it is my turn to receive his treatment (demonstration), I take a seat on the chiropractic table in front of the group of doctors. The subject of my birth comes up again, just as it had with Dr. Rivene 24 years earlier. What happened at my birth? There was someone there (or, more accurately, a group of individuals) at the exact moment of my birth. We call this group of individuals the entities and attachments or discarnates. They were non-physical beings that had not moved over from the earth plane into the light, which is the soul’s highest calling. These beings were now stuck on Earth until their souls could move on to the next life.

Unfortunately for me, some of the beings had chosen to occupy my body right at the moment of my birth. No wonder I felt that the world was so cold and uncaring! A group of angry entities had just possessed me! They were likely bothering me in a previous life, and now they had come back to wait for me on Earth. At my birth, they just jumped into their new home—my body. These were passengers on my train without tickets, and one of these passengers was likely an opium addict from China. Dr. Francis helped me release the entities and attachments quickly using some flower essences, homeopathy, and energy medicine. By now, it should be very clear that Dr. Francis is one of the good guys, and these entities are bad guys—vaccinations are bad. The vitamin K application used for newborns is outdated. Conventional medicine’s current approach to the birthing process is antiquated.

To learn more about entities and attachments, I would suggest the book The Unquiet Dead by Dr. Edith Fiore. She was a psychologist that treated many possessed patients. She would release the entities from those possessed using hypnosis and psychotherapy. The book is an excellent read. Dannion Brinkley’s Saved by the Light and Dr. Brian Weiss’s Many Lives, Many Masters are other excellent books that delve into what happens after death.

None of these books are books that my father would have ever been open to reading. He was completely closed to these types of ideas, even though mind workers like himself wrote them.

A Note from the Author

Does It Really Work?

Will THE SKOLNIKOFF METHOD work for you?

Is it really a NEW MEDICINE FOR A NEW YOU?

This is one of the themes that will continually come up for you throughout this book. You may have been taught that you don’t have to take care of your health because that is what health insurance is for and that is what doctors are for. The government should take care of your health?! When you were younger, you might have been under the impression that one of your parents was taking care of you and your health.

I have been in Marin County helping people with their health for more than fifteen years. We used to have a vegan café here in town called Café Gratitude that went out of business because someone got annoyed and thought that some of their raw nuts were spoiled. I am trying to think of a joke to tell here, but there is nothing funny about having your business go under because someone wants to make false accusations to the health board without thinking about what they are doing. I believe that one of the reasons that Café Gratitude had been so popular before they went out of business was that we all need to be more grateful for what we have in our lives. And many of us know that.

The Skolnikoff Method does not work for you; you need to work for it for it to work. I have been shocked and dismayed at how little personal responsibility some of us have for our health. This is part of the human condition. We are all guilty, to some extent. I had one lady come to our office; she lost literally eighty-five pounds of weight in four and a half months, and then she stopped coming to her regular monthly treatment visits. She did not seem to think that the follow-up visits would be necessary. Keep in mind that there was not any surgical procedure used, and no prescription medication, as we do not give prescriptions or perform surgeries in our office. Yes, eighty-five pounds in four and a half months.

What we are talking about is personal responsibility. I am not sharing this to shame you or anyone else. I understand that you are going to want to have some reassurance and help in your healing journey. I get that. I understand that. I appreciate that. When you have helped as many people as I have for as long as I have, and you see the same theme popping up over and over and over again, it can be rather frustrating. You need to take responsibility for your health and your decisions and your life in order to reach abundant and radiant health.

You should know a few things up front.

Life is not fair to you, and it is not fair to me or anyone else.

Anything worth having is worth working for—attaining excellent health is no different.

If you are asking questions like:

Dr. Skolnikoff, will this work for me?

Do you promise that I will have great results under your care, Dr. Skolnikoff?

If this doesn’t work for me, it’s your fault!

If this doesn’t work out, can I get a refund?

Here is what I want you to know …

NOTHING in life works for you.

NOTHING.

You WORK FOR IT.

The difference in context is massive …

Most people give their power away to others and, therefore, any responsibility for the outcome because it’s easier to blame other people for what goes wrong in your life than to look in the mirror and take responsibility yourself.

Everyone who succeeds at The Skolnikoff Method or anything else has one thing in common …

They all take full responsibility for their lives. The more you can take responsibility for your life, the more successful you will become in all areas of life.

I cannot blame anyone or anything for things that have gone wrong in my world because I will be creating my own demise by not taking responsibility for my results. I should not and will not do that. I cannot place blame on others or on environmental conditions.

You must take full responsibility for everything that is happening in your life.

The results you get with The Skolnikoff Method or any other method are up to you and how much time and energy you put into getting those results. Some systems of healthcare are more effective and faster in getting results than others, but, ultimately, it is up to you and how much work you put into the system to get it to work for you.

Are you going to put in the work necessary to get results with The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook? Will you be reading every page of this Book 1 and Book 2 feverishly to get every drop of value and goodness that it has to offer, or will you just browse through it in your spare time over the next six months or a year? The pace that you go at is up to you. Are you ready to make lifestyle changes that involve diet, exercise, sleep, protein consumption, water intake, and similar lifestyle changes? Are you going to contact our office to schedule your initial consultation and examination soon in order to start improving your health and get the support that you need to get great results?

Are you going to dive into The Skolnikoff Method like your life depends on it? Your life does depend on it. What are you waiting for? Will you spend as many hours and as much time and energy and money necessary to learn how to follow The Skolnikoff Method and reach a radiant level of abundant health? Will you spend six months or a year reading through Book 1 and Book 2 before contacting our healing center to get one-on-one support or will you contact us right away?

My health was terrible for many years, and I had gone to many different health care providers before I was able to find Dr. Bruce Shin and later Dr. Tim Francis, who both had the skills and training to help me. Then I spent more than twenty-two years studying all the therapies and techniques that had been used to help me turn my health around. I have been very fortunate. Everything was already done for me. Most of these therapies had already been developed, and I was able to just come along and benefit from them. I don’t consider myself to be especially smart or talented, but I know I am EXTREMELY TENACIOUS, and not many health care providers are willing to put forth the energy, effort, time, and money that I have invested to get the results that I get for their patients.

Are you willing to put in the same level of dedication that I have to your health? Are you going to receive The Skolnikoff Method handed to you on a silver platter the same way in which I received it? Maybe you don’t have to …

I had to take advantage of The Skolnikoff Method to make it through chiropractic school, learn the healing modalities that make up The Skolnikoff Method, and then be able to make this high-level healing available to my patients at a ridiculously embarrassingly low cost. Instead of perfecting my practice management and sales skills, I perfected my clinical skills and abilities so that no other health care provider could offer the same level of health care that I have been able to offer.

But you don’t have to go to chiropractic school and acupuncture school and study herbs and homeopathy and nutrition and flower essences and energy medicine for twenty-two years like I did. You don’t need to become a mechanic to take your car to the mechanic and get it fixed.

If you are willing to do your job and meet The Skolnikoff Method halfway for us to help you with your health, then you will get the help you are looking for. You get out of it what you put into it. You will need to dedicate yourself to this process. If you do, then success will come to you, and it will be a wonderful and extremely beneficial experience for you.

If you are not willing to do your share of lifestyle changes, and you are not willing to change your diet and how much water you drink and how much you do or do not exercise … If you are just going to give it a try, then understand that you are probably not going to get the results that you want. That is how life works. Life doesn’t reward the lazy or uncommitted, and I play no role in how you decide to show up. I am detached from the outcome and your level of commitment. If I were not committed, this book would not have ever been written, and you would have nothing to read here to support you through the process.

You and I will now have a chance to ponder a few more thoughts of my last sixteen years of new patients. Here are some things that they said when they first came to our healing center:

Patient: I have seen this before. I have used Standard Process and Mediherb products, and they are great products. I feel better and then my symptoms come back again. I have tried this before.

Skolnikoff: You haven’t seen anything even slightly like this before. There are hundreds of thousands of health care providers using Mediherb and Standard Process products all over the country. It is not the product that matters. It is the system of treatment that utilizes the structural, chemical, and emotional therapies that we utilize in just the right order and at just the right time that makes all of the difference. Just because all surgeons use similar tools does not make all surgeons the same. If you needed brain surgery badly, would you want a heart surgeon to do your surgery?

Patient: "Do I have to eat meat in order to benefit from The Skolnikoff Method?"

Skolnikoff: "Why do you ask? I would encourage you to read through the book to learn more about what we do and why we do it. I would pay special attention to Figure 4, Figure 15, Figure 18, and Figure 24. This entire book is dedicated to answering your question in detail. If you are asking this question, then I would suggest you read through this entire book in detail, whether you choose to use The Skolnikoff Method or not. There are a couple of chapters both in Book 1 and Book 2 that are specifically dedicated to answering this question in detail. This is the reason that I wrote the book. Think of Dr. Skolnikoff and The Skolnikoff Method practitioners as the health puzzle solvers and yourself as the puzzle that we solve. We solve your puzzle by understanding what the pattern is that has led up to whatever health concerns you are having. This question that you are asking about protein is an integral part of the puzzle-solving skills we will be using to help you."

Patient: "I have tried things like The Skolnikoff Method in the past, only to get severely disappointed and end up getting very few results. This is not cheap, which gives me cause for caution. So, a few questions."

Skolnikoff: "This is the classic ‘I bought something, and it didn’t work for me’ comment. ‘There was something wrong with what I purchased. It has nothing to do with me, and it’s not my fault.’ Just because there are terrible doctors on the planet does not mean you stop going to see the doctor. There are terrible people from every profession, and there are unfortunate things that happen in every area of life. I am not sure what this has to do with The Skolnikoff Method or Dr. Skolnikoff. This sounds like negative thinking to me. Instead of asking questions like ‘Why does this always happen to me?’ try asking questions like ‘What is great about this that I had not noticed before?’ Another great question is, ‘What can I learn from this experience?’ I got these ideas and concepts from my friend Tony Robbins. He has taught me a lot. Some people call this reframing. Reframe your blame. Don’t blame; reframe. What is exciting about this that you had not thought about before? What is the best thing that can happen from your participation in The Skolnikoff Method? What value can you get from The Skolnikoff Method that you had never considered before? If you were one of the healthiest people currently on the planet for your age, sex, and race, how would you view The Skolnikoff Method differently than you do now? If you ask better questions, you will get better answers. The Skolnikoff Method is all about asking better and more specific questions."

Patient: Will your healing system be something that takes me less than 30 minutes per day to integrate into my life? I am asking because I am a busy high-tech executive and have a limited amount of extra time.

Skolnikoff: Time and money are never an issue; they are just a measurement of value. How valuable is your health? If you don’t have your health, what do you have left? If you can’t wake up in the morning, and you can’t walk, and you can’t think, and you can’t talk, and you can’t function, what type of life do you have?

Patient: "Is The Skolnikoff Method something that is really super and easy that just takes a few minutes per day that anyone can do from any background and any economic level without any resources whatsoever? Does it matter where I live? Does it matter what type of air I breath? Does it matter what type of bed I sleep in? Does it matter what type of food I eat? Does it matter what type of water I drink? Does it matter what type of personal care products I use? Does it matter how my parents raised me? Does it matter if I am diabetic? Does it matter if I get the supplements? Can anyone do this? Is this easy to do?"

Skolnikoff: "There is no such thing as ‘anyone can do it.’ Such a thing does not exist. Is this easy? Maybe. Maybe not. I have no idea what kind of skills or background you have. But if you’re willing to get the patient education and review and spend time and energy on what you are learning, then you will figure it out. Everything has already been figured out for you. This blueprint has already been put together for you, and all you have to do is follow it. The blueprint that we have put together for you will be specific just to you, and it will include lifestyle changes that are specific to you. In the next twenty or thirty pages or so, we will even be discussing the custom-tailored and personalized program that is just for you. This Skolnikoff Method costs money. It is not free. It is not for everyone. It does not matter where you live, although it is much easier if you live closer to northern California. It matters what type of air you breath. It matters what type of bed you sleep in. It matters what type of food you eat. It matters what type of water you drink. It matters what type of personal care products you use. It matters how your parents raised you. It matters if you are diabetic. It matters what type of supplements you use. Nutritional supplements treat nutritional deficiencies, and The Skolnikoff Method prescribed nutritional supplements treat the causes of those nutritional deficiencies, not just the symptoms of the nutritional deficiency. The Skolnikoff Method matters. You matter. You are important. The Skolnikoff Method is important. Your health and healing are very important."

I know it may seem like I am reading into some of these questions, but I can assure you that I know where these kinds of questions and interactions lead based on previous experience. I know what the real intention is behind many of these questions, which is, I don’t want to take responsibility for this decision, and I want you to know that I’m going to blame you in the end if I don’t get the result that I am looking for.

One of the reasons that the world is in the toilet right now is that no one wants to take responsibility for anything that needs to be fixed. If we create better lives for ourselves, we create a better world by default.

To create a better life for yourself, you must take responsibility for your decisions and results. People don’t want to take responsibility for their health while a virus is in the air. What do they do? They give that responsibility to Big Pharma companies who will gladly sell them a product that doesn’t work and that will destroy their health just to avoid the effort it would require to live a healthy lifestyle. Then these irresponsible people will blame and shame anyone else who doesn’t take it because those people who take personal responsibility serve as a constant daily reminder that those who don’t take personal responsibility for their health were not taking responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, decisions, and actions. The astonishing part of much of this is that it takes place on a subconscious level.

One of the biggest problems in the world today is that solutions are so readily available that they’re taken for granted.

When you feel desperation or anxiety about your financial state, state of health, or personal relationships, your body is producing a hormone called cortisol. That cortisol will motivate your brain to look for a solution. There are an endless number of solutions in the world available for purchase. In fact, many of them are free. You get what you pay for. When you purchase one, your brain releases dopamine, which makes your anxiety go away, and you feel better. As a result, your motivation drops, and 90% of my readers don’t even finish my Book 1, let alone start Book 2. If you don’t read the books, then it is unlikely that you will apply them. World events scare you. You feel anxiety. You shop for emergency food, etc.

Your anxiety goes away once you get those emergency foods, and then you go back to normal life. What is missing here is the follow-through… the follow-through necessary for learning and mastering the skillset needed to be healthy and maintain the health you have achieved.

The follow-through is where the freedom is. It’s where the results are. It is what separates the haves from the have-nots—the sick from the vibrantly healthy who stay healthy and lead full and complete lives. If you purchased The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook or were fortunate enough to have received it as a gift, congratulations. This is an awesome book that can really help you. And it is an interactive book that connects with Internet videos and surveys. The Skolnikoff Method is a great program for you, and it works very well IF AND ONLY IF you are willing to WORK FOR IT … if you are willing to put in the time, money, energy, and commitment necessary as if your freedom and life depended upon it—because they do. You, me, and the rest of the world need healing more now than ever, and that is an understatement.¹ My wish is that you will pursue the suggestions in this book, if not for yourself, for your friends and family and the rest of humanity that so desperately need healing at this time.

If you are looking for a free handout that doesn’t require work and effort or for you to be responsible for your results, then The Skolnikoff Method is not for you, and neither is Dr. Skolnikoff. I had to say it.

Dedicated to your health success,

Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff, D.C., DIBAK

PROLOGUE

The industrialized world keeps getting sicker and sicker. The United States is considered by many experts to rank 32nd in the world when it comes to health. That means that 31 other countries have a healthier population than the United States! According to a 2021 commonwealthfund.org article, the United States ranks overall dead last despite spending far more of its gross domestic product on health care. It ranks last on access to care, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes.²

This is a serious problem. I am writing this book for several reasons, not the least of which is to give people hope. I intend to provide a comprehensive solution to the world’s healthcare dilemma. The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You unites health and healing sciences from various disciplines worldwide. These healing modalities are not only effective but have been around for centuries. They have withstood the test of time.

For example, research reveals that acupuncture has origins dating back to over 100,000 years ago. Archaeologists discovered bones shaped like little acupuncture needles. The anthropologists and archeologists explain how the bones were used as needles to be inserted into the body at different acupuncture points. There have also been tattoos done of the acupuncture meridians at a similar historical time period.

We need to jump back to our discussion of Western Medicine (The Old Medicine) and The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine. I will now share with you some information from a book titled Restore Your Energy With Bioenergetics by Harry Massey and Steve McCardell. This book represents one of the therapies that we use to help our patients. I really wanted to share a few passages because it is so well-written and goes directly with what we are talking about here. I am grateful for Harry Massey to have put this information together and provided this unique and powerful healing modality to the world. If you would like to learn more, you will need to get in touch with us through Skolnikoff.com.

We know pretty well what problems occur with specific nutritional deficiencies, and we can see how drugs block actions from taking place in the body to stop symptoms.³

[…] So to a point, a lot can be accomplished with this approach [the use of prescription medications]. Yet today, life expectancy in the United States is going down rather than up.⁴

Big Pharma Conflicts of Interest

What’s more, there’s a lot to question about modern medicine. I have to admit, emergency medicine – from life-saving surgery to things like blood-clotting drugs that can keep someone from bleeding out after an accident – is pretty impressive. But when it comes to lifestyle medications, we have to ask some important questions.

First of all, there are massive conflicts of interest. For instance, like the fox guarding the henhouse, the pharmaceutical companies themselves pay for much of the work of the FDA in approving their drugs⁵ (not to mention payments to FDA advisers following drug approvals).⁶ Big Pharma also pays for the studies needed for these approvals.⁷

In one way, this sounds great – it keeps the taxpayers from covering the cost. But we also know what happens when someone commissions a study, don’t we? They get the results they’re after, often by throwing out data that doesn’t fit their needs or cherry picking results. (This is exactly what happened with Big Tobacco, when doctors were telling people that smoking was good for them and the truth was hidden from the public for decades.) As one article points out, some estimates suggest the results of half of clinical trials are never published. These missing data have, over several decades, systematically distorted perceptions of the efficacy of drugs, devices, and even surgical procedures.⁸

Another article explains: "In 2010, three researches from Harvard and Toronto found all the trials looking at five major classes of drug – antidepressants, ulcer drugs and so on – then measured two key features: were they positive, and were they funded by industry?

They found over five hundred trials in total: 85 per cent of the industry-funded studies were positive, but only 50 per cent of the government funded trials were. That’s a very significant difference."⁹

In short, as Marion Nestle, PhD, a professor of nutrition and public health at New York University once said, Companies that sponsor research make sure that they get what they pay for. Industry funded research is marketing research, not scientific research.¹⁰

The conflicts of interest in the industry are exposed in great detail in books like The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, by Dr. Marcia Angell (former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine and therefore a believer in the value of correctly using pharmaceutical drugs). The book’s overview tells us that Dr. Angell watched drug companies stray from their original mission of discovering and manufacturing useful drugs and instead become vast marketing machines with un-precedented control over their own fortunes. She saw them gain nearly limitless influence over medical research, education, and how doctors do their jobs… Drug companies funnel the bulk of their resources into the marketing of products of dubious benefit.¹¹

That last part is important. Dr. Angell specifically points to the questionable value of many of the drugs that are being pushed on the American public. A quick search online for medical drugs no better than placebo will bring up plenty of examples of medicine that could be replaced with dummy pills and get the same results. Yet the actual drugs carry side effects that a placebo presumably would not cause.¹²

Big Pharma’s Marketing Machine

Even if a drug does demonstrate a benefit, the marketing machines push it through doctors and advertisements far beyond its appropriate use. (Data from 2013 shoes 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies spending more on marketing and sales than on research and development, with many of them spending twice as much on selling than on developing.¹³ And much of this money is spent directly on doctors in the form of speaking fees, consulting fees, etc.¹⁴ In other words, they’re purchasing medical bias.)

As one example, over the last several years, studies have shown that antidepressant drugs don’t relieve depression any better than placebos. In 2018, though, a new study suggested that they do provide more benefits than placebos, but only when used in serious cases of depression. Unfortunately, doctors have pushed these medications on more and more people, and for more and more off label uses (what the drugs weren’t originally intended for). Because of this, earlier studies literally couldn’t see the benefits. Any positive results were getting lost in the sea of people who never should have been taking them.

Wonder why our healthcare costs are so high? This is one reason. And it not only leads to higher costs, but to the many side effects that those people should never have faced. Plus, for those who did suffer the side effects – from a drug they never should have taken – in many cases, their doctors no doubt prescribed still other medications to deal with the side effects from the first medications. So the drug lifestyle feeds itself.

It’s worth pointing out another angle on the side effects of anti-depressants. They aren’t just about physical problems (although weight gain is among the side effects, and we know what a problem this has been in Western society); they include emotional changes like irritability, anxiety, and a decreased interest in sex. So now we’re talking about something that affects relationships as well as physical health.

Killer Pain Relief

Of course on
