Product Description
Our traditional medical system is probably the best in the world at detecting and treating diseases. Unfortunately for patients, that means over half of the cases traditional doctors treat don’t get much relief, as the patients don't have any kind of disease. Dr. Roby and his associates use complementary and alternative methods to address these problems, addressing not the symptoms but the cause of the problems. This can be done immediately by blocking the causes of the symptoms using small doses of hormones sublingually (under the tongue). Relief of symptoms using this test indicates the underlying problem, progesterone-mediated inflammation or hormone imbalance, which can be addressed using bioidentical hormones. Dr. Roby also finds that many symptoms are caused by allergic reactions to a patient’s own hormones. Even some diseases diagnosed as fatal (e.g., multiple sclerosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and polymyositis) have been found to be misdiagnosed and successfully treated with the remedies above.

This book is a thorough account of how the Roby Institute helps patients who have not received help from traditional medicine and traditional doctors. Many of these patients have been told that their pain and their misery is "all in your head." These patients have given up on traditional methods for treatment and turned to these complementary and alternative methods. In over 30 years of treating these types of patients, Dr. Roby has a phenomenal record for either improving their condition or relieving symptoms altogether. His combination of balancing hormones, neutralizing allergies, addressing diet, reducing stress, initiating movement, and incorporating spirituality provides the patients with all the tools they need to monitor their health and administer their own treatment after they leave the office.

4 out of 5 stars Happy to see MD with open mind about non-traditional therapies   October 30, 2008
Book makes interesting points about traditional medicine vs non-traditional therapies to treat symptoms that patients know are real but their doctors say they don't have


5 out of 5 stars Review of "Maybe it IS All in Your Head"   August 26, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

At last, a medical book that is written in layman's terms that helps me understand the reasons for the pain that has plagued me for several years 24\7. Thanks, Dr. Roby: It's hjgh time we learned the truth about medicine.


4 out of 5 stars A fascinating new approach!   August 18, 2008

I would definitely recommend Dr. Roby's book to anyone who suffers from chronic pain, fatigue, or any other condition that traditional medicine has failed to relieve. He provides a fresh, intuitive perspective that is both innovative and approachable. "Maybe It Is All in Your Head" can offer hope where there was none before. Dr. Roby will compel you to reexamine the bounds of medical possibility by addressing the subtleties of hormone balance and allergic reactions--topics that are often overlooked by other doctors. Check it out!


5 out of 5 stars A Doctor Who Listens to His Patients   August 13, 2008
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Maybe it is All In Your Head, and You Are Not Crazy is the fascinating of story of one physician's observations and experiences during decades of treating patients whose problems have eluded standard models of disease and treatment . Early on in his carer, Dr. Roby decided to listen -- really listen -- to what these patients were telling him and not give up on them until their conditions improved. In the process, he painstakingly analyzed the cause of many disorders and designed treatment strategies that effect specific hormonal pathways between the brain and the body.

Unlike many physican/authors, Doctor Roby manages to explain these complex physiologic processes in an engaging and informative manner, without either losing his readers in a tangle of specialized jargon or talking down to them.

I gave this book five stars because the author doesn't simply suggest a healthy diet, modest exercise, and stress reduction like ninety-five per cent of all medical books written on chronic illnesses resistant to current therapies; it offers a physiologic explanation for disease processes and a medical approach to combat them.

This is a fascinating book. It should be especially interesting to anybody who has ever allowed themselves to be convinced that his or her physical misery is somehow the product of a disordered imagination.



5 out of 5 stars Great book written in laymen's terms   August 12, 2008

Dr. Roby has written a wonderful book for all those people whose physicians have given up on them and insisted, "it's all in your imagination". You CAN be cured! Read it. You'll be glad you did.
