ABOUT

Dr. Ben Edwards

    I’m Ben Edwards and I was born and raised in Belton, TX. I grew up watching both of my granddads practice “old school” country doctoring. They were general practitioners who could be found doing anything from delivering a baby, to amputating a leg, to sitting for an entire hour counseling a crying patient.

    Early on, I knew that I wanted to be that kind of doctor, one who took care of the entire family from cradle to grave. I wanted to work with the whole body and the whole family.

    I received my undergraduate degree from Baylor University, and later graduated from UT-Houston Medical School. Then my wife, Jamie, and I moved to Waco to complete my training at the Waco Family Practice Residency Program. There came the divine appointment that would change the course of my life and that of my patients.

    It came through my Nurse Practitioner, Shane Frankl, who had been diagnosed with Celiac. The conventional viewpoint is that Celiac, like most other diseases, can only be managed, but not cured. So you can imagine my surprise when I witnessed him eating several foods that contained wheat at the clinic one day without any negative symptoms.

    The short version of Shane’s story is that he met an Integrative Physician on a vacation that suggested that he could actually get over Celiac. Shane put the doctor’s advice to the test for several months and did become symptom-free. This, of course, really got my attention! After much contemplation I decided that I was morally obligated to investigate.

    I spent the following weeks and months reading, researching, and attending conferences, learning from older and wiser Integrative Physicians around the country and the world. I began to hear phrases like “if you weren’t born with it, it’s curable” and “these aren’t diseases, they are consequences” and “the body has an innate intelligence and knows how to heal if you just get the impedances out of the way.”

    Reversing major diseases was foreign to me. I was taught how to manage these ailments, but not how to reverse them. However, I was now being introduced to many doctors and patients who were doing just that. Soon, I and my patients would be included in their ranks.
    Within a few months of attending my first Integrative Medicine conference, I too had patients reversing their “diseases.”

    A 73-year-old gentleman on 4 diabetes medications, 2 blood pressure pills, a cholesterol medicine and 2 reflux medications who, in just eight weeks, had lost 38 pounds and was down to ½ of one blood pressure pill only. His sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure were all normal.

    A 48-year-old gentleman with severe reflux who was on triple therapy (Zantac, Nexium and Carafate) morning and night, and who was able to get off all his medication and be symptom-free in just thirty days.

    A 54-year-old lady with “dermatitis” for over 6 months. Within one month she was also symptom-free.

    In medical school I was taught that only two options existed for patients: Option 1, suffer with symptoms or Option 2, manage the symptoms with medication or surgery. Integrative medicine has taught me there is an Option 3, fix it! I became convinced that this was the direction I needed to go. I believe that our bodies are designed perfectly and they know how to heal if given the opportunity and that’s surely why I crossed paths with Morley Robbins.

    All we have to do is to find out what our bodies are missing, and what harmful things we are being exposed to that shouldn’t be there. Replace what’s missing and remove what is harmful. Then sit back and watch the “miracle cure” that is waiting inside of you manifest.

    I invite you to browse this website with an open mind. Read the FAQ’s and testimonials. Watch the free introductory video that Morley and I created together to gain some knowledge that will help you start your own journey to true healing!
