r. Pejman Bady, D.O., a local award-winning board-certified physician who made the shocking shift to alternative medicine practices, is now the coowner and founder of The Sanctuary, a local popular dispensary. This shift is so stunning because Dr. Bady was immersed in the medical field as an industry leader in clinical research, business, and education locally and internationally for nearly 30 years. He specialized in family medicine, emergency medicine, regenerative treatments, and osteopathy and has helped thousands of patients since he began practicing medicine in 1993. However, Dr. Bady’s personal triumphs and previous education paved the way for his shift to alternative medicine practices.

Admittedly, Dr. Bady wasn’t always a believer in the proven benefits of medical cannabis, a legal, herbal drug derived from plants of the genus Cannabis used as a complementary treatment for specific ailments. “I sat on a board of doctors, and I was the one who told our partners that we will never use this. I was that guy – until I saw its miraculous benefits, firsthand,” said Dr. Bady. In 2010, Dr. Bady’s mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer and given six months to live. The renowned family doctor’s mom miraculously lived for another seven years. Despite his previous doubts, Dr. Bady credits this medical miracle to cannabis. However, his initial exposure to medical cannabis derives from his education in Ayurvedic medicine, a medical system that originated in India over 5,000 years ago and focuses on restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. He studied this faucet of alternative medicine at Vaidygrama Hospital in Coimbatore, India.
