Speaking Engagements
Julia spoke over Labor Day Weekend (2011) at the Cancer Control Society's 39th Annual Convention in Los Angeles. The response to her talk was excellent, creating a lot of "buzz." She spoke about the treatments she features in her book, "Honest Medicine": Low Dose Naltrexone for autoimmune diseases, the Ketogenic Diet for pediatric epilepsy, Intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid for liver disease, and Silverlon for non-healing wounds.
She also told her personal story of how she became a patient advocate.
Julia would love to speak to other high-profile groups to spread the word about these low-cost, effective treatments, as well as about patient empowerment. If you'd like to invite her to speak, please
contact her by email or call her at 708-848-4788.

Testimonials
In Honest Medicine, Julia Schopick writes about four innovative treatments that many cutting-edge integrative doctors have successfully used for years. But never before, to my knowledge, have they been featured together in one book. Any patient who is interested in learning about nontoxic, inexpensive alternatives to costly, side-effect-laden pharmaceuticals should read Julia’s book. I predict that Honest Medicine will become an instant classic.
—Ronald Hoffman, MD, Author, Founder and Medical Director of the Hoffman Center in New York, Host of “Health Talk,” nationally syndicated radio talk show
Patients around the world have a compassionate new advocate and voice in Julia Schopick. Julia is one of those rare people in this world who can go through an agonizingly difficult experience and, instead of being paralyzed, can transform her pain into a passionate, clear-headed campaign to help others. Honest Medicine is a well-written, easy-to-understand look at treatments that have been all but overlooked by the medical world because they are not potential financial blockbusters. But they are potential lifesavers, as Schopick demonstrates in the book’s meticulous research and interviews with doctors, patients and advocates who use these treatments in their practices or have personally benefited from them.
—Mary Shomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss
One of the themes in Julia’s book is her zeal and enthusiasm to change medicine for the better, yet she believes this to be impossible. I would disagree. After living and working in mainstream medicine for forty years, I have seen medicine change. It is continually changing. Join with Julia Schopick and thousands of other health activists demanding these effective treatments ignored by mainstream medicine. A revolution is at hand, and Julia’s
new book, Honest Medicine, is leading the charge with banner held high.
—Jeffrey Dach, MD, author of Natural Medicine 101, and founder of a Hollywood, Florida clinic, specializing in Bioidentical Hormones and Natural Thyroid
Honest Medicine is a much-needed book in this time of “health care reform.” In it, Julia Schopick provides a roadmap for effective solutions to many chronic conditions. Most importantly, the case histories Julia presents in Honest Medicine will provide hope to so many people suffering with chronic illnesses, by showing that patients do not have to take toxic pharmaceutical medications that neither treat the underlying cause of their illness nor improve the conditions. I recommend Honest Medicine to all who are open-minded and looking for safe, effective therapies that have a sound biochemical basis behind them. This book should be required reading for all physicians and patients searching for safe and effective therapies.
—David Brownstein, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, MI, and author of nine books on integrative medical topics
Rather than merely writing a book, a huge undertaking in itself, Julia Schopick has created a community of men and women who have joined her in presenting potentially lifesaving information in the service of others. The variety of voices sharing their experiences and expertise not only makes the book as easy to read and absorbing as a novel, I felt as if I had made some new friends along the way. These pages are filled with practical advice and information about a group of four treatments whose time has come. In addition to describing these treatments, Julia gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at healthcare as it is today and encourages us to imagine a better future—one individual at a time—until these treatments finally reach full acceptance. Thanks, Julia!
—Virginia McCullough, co-author with Paul Harch, MD, The Oxygen Revolution
Born out of personal tragedy, Julia Schopick’s Honest Medicine is a “must read.” Run out to get this book and learn how to prevent or even reverse disease with the often unknown, but potentially lifesaving treatments she features. Her outstanding interview with Wellness TalkRadio was lifechanging for so many of my listeners. I look forward to many more interviews with Julia regarding “patient-evidence-based treatments,” like those she writes about in this wonderful book.
—Kristin Costello, WellnessTalkRadio.com
Well done! Three decades as a physician has left me realizing that there are few illnesses that truly can’t be helped. The problem is not lack of effective treatments—but rather a medical system that will only approve and teach about patentable (and therefore very expensive) therapies. When doctors tell you they can’t help you, thank them for their honesty. And then read Julia Schopick’s book!
—Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of the best-selling book, From Fatigued to Fantastic! (3rd revised edition, Avery/Penguin Group)
Julia Schopick’s powerful new book, Honest Medicine, is a comprehensive and extremely well-researched work filled with fascinating alternative ways of combating many horrendous diseases that affect millions of people throughout the world. Her medical savvy reigns supreme throughout the book and is conveyed to us in a language that is totally understandable and relatable. Dr. Bernard Bihari, the pioneer of low dose naltrexone for autoimmune diseases, is one of the heroes of Julia’s book. He was also my partner for over twenty years. This tender warrior fought so gallantly to make this affordable, non-toxic drug more readily accessible to the public—to patients with autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, fibromyalgia and Crohn’s. Julia’s splendid book is a marvelous legacy to this remarkable man. I hope that people with autoimmune diseases will read Honest Medicine. But I also hope that everyone who has the slightest interest in, or curiosity about, the subject of health and how the immune system functions will read it, as well. Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to Julia for taking the time to care, and also to research and write Honest Medicine. Her commitment to getting the word out about LDN and other immune-boosting treatments shines brightly throughout the book.
—Jacqueline L. Young, New York City

Book Signings for Honest Medicine
March 11, 2011: Selected Works Book Store, Chicago, IL
http://www.selworkschicago.com/_/Announcements.html
Please join me, Julia Schopick, for a very special Chicago Book Event, taking place at my good friend Keith Peterson's bookstore, Selected Works.
I will be discussing and signing copies of my just-published book, "HONEST MEDICINE: Effective, Time-Tested, Inexpensive Treatments for Life-Threatening Diseases." My book, an Amazon.com Best-Seller, features four effective, inexpensive, non-toxic treatments for life-threatening diseases (eg, multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, pediatric epilepsy, liver disease, etc.). These treatments have been helping (and in some cases curing) people with these conditions for 25-90 years. Unfortunately, probably because they are not financial blockbusters for any pharmaceutical companies, most doctors don't know about them.
It is my mission to bring these treatments out into the open through my book, so that patients can make informed decisions about their health.
The only people I'm inviting to this event are those who live in the Chicago area. So I hope you will share this invitation with any and all of your Chicago-area Friends (Facebook or non-Facebook) who you think would enjoy learning about "Honest Medicine"!
