About Us
Would you like to find out WHY your body is not getting well?
Would you like to have a doctor who really LISTENS to you?
Instead of treating symptoms, would you rather find the CAUSE of your health problems?
We are a RESULTS-driven practice, using only non-invasive techniques. Instead of treating disease or medical conditions, we provide natural ways of finding out why the body is functioning incorrectly. Once this is found, the correct function can be restored using the natural techniques in the EvecticsSM health therapy system
Dr. Billiot stands for: Personalized healthcare with a caring practitioner who locates the cause of health problems and does not just treat symptoms.
Dr. Billiot is leading the movement to: Revolutionize the field of healthcare and eliminate chronic/persistent health problems.
Dr. Billiot declares war on: Debilitating and persisting chronic health issues.
Dr. Billiot is re-defining healthcare as: “ a competent and caring practice where patients not only get better but continue but continue to improve their health on an ongoing basis to avoid future difficulties.”
About the Practitioners
Alternative Health Atlanta is owned and operated by Dr. Melodie M. Billiot, licensed as a Doctor of Chiropractic by the states of Georgia and Florida . The practitioners working at AHA have been hand-picked and trained personally by Dr. Billiot. Because EvecticsSM techniques are not taught as part of any standard university curriculum, practitioners must be trained and interned here at the clinic, a process that takes almost six months of full-time work by the practitioners.
Meet the Staff
Dr. Melodie M. Billiot
Dr. Billiot is a best-selling author, the founder and owner of Alternative Health Atlanta and the developer the EvecticsSM system of natural health improvement. Dr. Billiot is known nationwide as an expert and sought-after teacher of nutritional and energetic techniques and as the developer of EvecticsSM.
Dr. Billiot graduated from Life University in 1993 summa cum laude as valedictorian of her class. She is certified in CRA and Nutrition Response Testing, System Desensitization Technique (SDT) and N.A.E.T. allergy elimination techniques, System Balancing Technique (SBT), JMT, several chiropractic adjusting techniques, and has studied extensively in homeopathy, herbology, Chinese medicine, clinical nutrition and pain control using nutrition.
In 1994, she became frustrated because of a lack of consistent results with chiropractic treatment in areas other than musculoskeletal. Motivated to find a solution for her patients other than drugs and surgery and fighting a serious health problem of her own, she started researching holistic and nutritional techniques. As a result of this research, Dr. Billiot recovered her own health and made significant improvements in patient results. Now, a decade and one-half later, Dr. Billiot has one of the most successful holistic practices in the country and trains other practitioners in clinical nutrition and other holistic techniques.
Dr. Billiot loves spending time with her family, hiking in the North Georgia mountains and traveling. Her favorite place on earth is Paris! She loves her two cats and tolerates her two dogs. Dr. Billiot loves to grow things! She is a certified Master Gardener and keeps her family fed with healthy vegetables from her two gardens. Her yard is one big flower garden with different plants blooming most of the year.
Norman Lowrey
Norman has been the Practice Manager of Alternative Health Atlanta since 1998.
He has almost 40 years of experience in starting, operating, expanding and consulting many different businesses. His first business, founded in 1983, was a professional-level bicycle shop that still dominates sales in a three state area. Norman has also been a partner in a healthcare marketing firm and has worked as a consultant, reorganizing businesses ranging from heavy manufacturing, software and engineering to construction and retail.
However, once he started working with Dr. Billiot and helping “impossible” cases to recover their health and lives, he was hooked! Norman has been developing systems, researching and helping Dr. Billiot to develop the EvecticsSM system of health care since 1996. Norman has written books on Heart Rate Variability use in holistic practices and taught webinars on this subject. He has also developed practice management software specific to holistic practices.
Recently, he wrote a book, 4 Pitfalls and Traps to Lasting Health to help patients who have recovered their health maintain a healthy life.
Norman is dedicated to the EvecticsSM project, which has as its goal making the EvecticsSM system available to anyone in the US with a chronic health condition who is willing to take the personal responsibility necessary to recover their health. He is currently working on licensing the technology and setting up training for practitioners.
Norman loves being outdoors, hiking and backpacking with his family.
Destin Thomas
Destin is fully trained and certified as an EvecticsSM technician to perform SDT and SBT therapies.
Destin decided on a health care career in the 8th grade. She was originally interested in becoming a pharmacist and kept this goal all the way to college. Halfway through earning her BS in Pharmaceutical Chemistry she came to the conclusion that being a pharmacist would be monotonous and that she wanted to be much more active in helping people with their health. She decided to finish her degree, and then apply to medical school.
She took a gap year between schools, and started working for Alternative Health Atlanta as a doctor’s assistant.
As she says, this caused her to see an entirely different side to health care. “At the end of the day, it’s about people, not symptoms. MD’s don’t fix anything from my experience other than acute problems. EvecticsSM is a better solution for long-term health, not just symptom relief right now. This is an approach that suits me much better than medicine.”
Destin’s long-term goals are to get a DO degree and practice alternative forms of medicine, especially to help people with autoimmune diseases.
Destin loves to read crime novels, spend time with her family, cook and stay active in her church where she teaches Sunday School.
We are very happy to have her on our team!
