<p><font size="1">Six weeks ago, weighing the most I ever have, I
booked an appointment with Dr Ali, physician to the stars, and now
about to go stellar himself with his book, video, and countless
breathless testimonials in the press. I mean, this is the man of
whom Vogue wrote: "What Deepak Chopra is to LA, Dr Ali is to London".
His client list is led, of course, by Prince Charles. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">I am a sucker for anything that might help me lose
the pounds without eating less or giving anything up. But as much
as I enjoy reading Complimentary health books while polishing off
a bottle of Pinot Noir, at the age of 42, I felt my mind and body
were heading for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. So Dr
Ali it had to be. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The first surprise was the appearance of the clinic
- if it were a person, you'd definitely think it were looking a
bit peaky. It could pass for just about any private clinic in and
around Harley Street. Although a reassuringly old copy of Hello!
was laying on the table, so I felt genuinely at home. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Aesthetics aside, I found Dr Ali pretty amazing.
There aren't many strangers who can tell me within 10 minutes of
meeting them that I have put on a lot of weight recently (true),
am an insomniac (true), have bad digestion (true), and am heading
for some kind of almighty health crisis, and find me thanking them
profusely. In fact, I nearly leapt on to his massage table expecting
instant salvation or a quick clean cull. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Thankfully, it was the former. Over the past 10
years I have been massaged to the point of stupefaction all over
the world: immersed in rose petals in Bali, covered in oil made
from goat excrement in Morocco, but nothing prepares you for the
power of a Dr Ali massage. In a 10-minute session he sluice Iout
more lactic acid from my back and neck than a pharmaceutical company,
lifting years of neck and shoulder pain. He also managed to rid
me of a cold that had laid me outIfor a week. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Then I was sent off with the programme for the next
three months. No alcohol, coffee, cheese, mushrooms, citrus fruit,
chocolate, yeast or spices - pretty much the stuff that glues together
my unhealthy frame. It is a measure of my faith in Dr Ali that I
left his surgery agreeing to this regime. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Now, three days later, I must admit that my posture
is better and I am sleeping blissfully. On Saturday, a colleague
of Dr Ali's delivered a deep tissue massage that had me pounding
the table like a wrestler caught on the canvas, but an hour later,
I strode out a new man. These massages are a world away from the
affectations of Tibetan bells and aromatherapy candles and infinitely
more beneficial. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Suspend your cynicism - if health is truly wealth,
think of Dr Ali as the best bank manager you'll ever have. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">A half-hour session with Dr Ali at The Integrated
Medical Centre (IMC), 43 New Cavendish Street, London W1 (tel: 020
7224 5111), costs £60.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">"The Integrated Health Bible" is published by Vermilion,
priced £12.99.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"> "Dr Ali's Lifestyle Programme" is on video, priced
£13.99, from the IMC shop. </font></p>
