Close-Up TV News Recognizes CC Medical Services

EAST MEADOW, N.Y., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Close-Up TV News recognizes CC Medical Services for its commitment to education and improving the lives of its patients.

All too often patients who present with an illness are treated with medication to alleviate symptoms, allowing them to live in spite of their disease but never truly free of it. This approach to health care has become synonymous with health care itself, yet people are simply not getting healthier. In fact, the opposite is true.

Dr. Christopher Calapai of CC Medical Services (http://www.drcalapai.net) is an osteopathic physician, one of a growing number of doctors whose unique approach to health care -- more focused on the health than care -- has improved the lives of countless patients all over the country. Dr. Calapai is board certified in family medicine, anti-aging and chelation therapy and his thorough and comprehensive medical-nutritional approach has been delivering results for over 20 years.

"I think traditional medicine has gotten so far away from its intended purpose as an appropriate investigation into patients," says Dr. Calapai. "We're interested in wellness. It's about learning as much about the patient as possible, teaching them and getting them interested in their own health."

According to Dr. Calapai you can't be a good physician if you're not a good teacher and a good detective. Being a good teacher requires educating your patient, motivating them and helping them understand they are a partner in their care; being a good detective requires thorough examination of all the clues at your disposal. The more he can understand about the patient, the better he can accurately diagnose and treat the patient's disease.

One such disease is Diabetes. Dr. Calapai believes with the right protocol -- low-carbohydrate diet, exercise, correcting vitamins and hormones -- he can get people off medications they simply don't need.

"With my approach that person is no longer a diabetic and will never be a diabetic again because we have them on the path to living well," says Dr. Calapai.  "Nothing is more exciting to me than a patient that is no longer a diabetic. The patient results are what drive me."
