Philosophy
Dr. Lee's philosophy on healing: "The healing system can usually do what it needs to do to restore balance. But when the healing system is a little overwhelmed, it sometimes needs a little kick start. That's where I come in. Most doctors think that doctors cure patients. And the patients think that as well. The problem with that is it takes responsibility from the patient. I think people cure themselves. Period. My philosophy is give your immune system a boost so that it can take over and finish the job."
