Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine over 5000 years old, recently revived in China and now very popular in the West. It addresses energy flow (chi) in the body to balance and strengthen Yin and Yang, and the vital organs. The therapy uses fine needles inserted into the skin at key points into the body for varying periods of time. The World Health Organization says acupuncture can be beneficial in many medical conditions from neurological and gastrointestinal to mental and emotional ones.



Heavy metal chelation

Heavy metal chelation is the process of safely detoxifying the body of metals.  The word "chele" means to grab.  Chelation is where metals are sequestered or "grabbed" by DMSA and solubilized so it can be safely eliminated.  Removing metals has been shown to reduce blood pressure, eliminate plagues from your arteries, prevent stroke and heart disease, improve liver function, and helps relieve symptoms of senility by increasing circulation to the brain.  Metals form harmful free radicals in your body and removing them will allow the body to use its anti-oxidants for other purposes. 

 


 



Clinical Nutrition


In the United States today, we eat more food, and get less nutrition because we make poor food choices.  This diet is called the SAD diet, or the "Standard American Diet."  Clinical Nutritional Counseling is helpful for everyone.  A unique healthy eating plan is developed for you after a thorough investigation of your diet, including nutritional deficiencies, food intolerances, and allergies.  Each of us has a different set of enzymes that digest some foods better than others.  Serious problems in this area could cause gas, bloating, discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, brain fog and other chronic diseases.  Addressing the cause of the problem eliminates the symptoms permanently.  For example, anxiety, depression, and carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by a vitamin B deficiency.  ADHD can be helped tremendously by removing dyes and preservatives from the diet and eating more essential fatty acids. 



Bio-identical Hormones





Bio-identical Hormones
are helpful to ease the symptoms of menopause, peri-menopause, and post-menopause.  Some of theses symptoms may include mood changes, irritability, memory loss, weight gain, decreased sex drive, depression, bloating, insomnia, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and fatigue.  Bioidentical hormones are made from plants and are structurally the same as our body's own hormones. Because these hormones are natural, they are easily metabolized by the body and hence the side effects are minimized. Each patient receives a custom blend of hormones to meet their particular needs.  A Hormone Panel test may be indicated to determine your present hormone levels. 




Botanical Medicine has been used for thousands of years.  The roots, stems, leaves, or flowers of plants are carefully prepared into liquid tinctures or capsule form.  This medicine can have a powerful effect on the body.  Single herbs or combinations can be used to stimulate or build the immune system, to improve the function of various organs, to soothe an irritable bowel, enhance mood, reduce blood pressure, aid digestion, promote detoxification and elimination, kill harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses.




                              

Homeopathy
was founded by Samual Hahnemann in the late eighteenth century.  It is use commonly in European and Indian hospitals.  The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek word homeo or "similar" and pathos or "suffering".  Homeopathic remedies are potentized medicine from animal, mineral or plant substances.  They are highly dilute and work on an energetic level having a profound effect.  The philosophy is based on the the principle that like cures like.  In other words, giving a highly dilute amount of a substance, can cure the symptoms that would be produced from a large amount of the same substance.  A person's symptom picture matches a remedy picture and hence stimulates the bodies innate healing response to eliminate the symptoms.  This medicine is very affordable, and safe and can be used effectively in acute or chronic situations.
