Health & Vitality Treatment Approach

Evaluation: A comprehensive history from the patient is obtained through one on one consultation and appropriate testing for each individual is determined.

Complete Blood Panel, Hormone Profile, Cancer Markers, Cardiac Risk Markers.
The initial step in the evaluation process.
Neurotransmitter Evaluation
Many people suffer from anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.  The conventional route of treatment is to give a variety of medications that would mask the symptoms, calm down the nerves, or recycle the existing levels of neurotransmitters.  This is why medications may lose their efficacy in time and you may need higher doses of these medications.  Our approach is to find the root cause of neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain and treat it with nutrients, cleansing and allergy elimination diet.  At the Health and Vitality Center a variety of nutrients are used, to optimize the neurotransmitter levels in the brain and make the individual functional, balanced, and centered without use of medications.
Urine Toxicity Screen for Heavy Metals

Every day our body is exposed to high levels of dangerous toxins. These toxins come from environmental sources such as pesticides, heavy metals, air pollution and water pollutants.  Urine Toxicity Screen is a great tool to measure heavy metals accumulated in our body.  Once test results are analyzed, we will create an individualized detoxification program consisting of Chelation therapy, cleansing (i.e. Isagenix), and purification.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis/Parasitology (CDSA)
Patients experiencing diarrhea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, and heartburn will be evaluated by a comprehensive stool analysis to assess digestive functions.  The status of beneficial and harmful bacteria, yeast and parasites is then determined.  The intestinal imbalance is corrected by use of probiotics, hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and elimination of allergens.  Detecting the true cause of your illness is our number one priority.
Liver Detoxification Profile
This test would determine how well your liver detoxifies toxins and chemicals.  Phase I and II of detoxification is analyzed and specific nutrients are used to strengthen the function of your liver.
Urine Iodine Loading Test
Iodine/Iodide is pivotal to normal function of the thyroid gland, the health of breast tissue, and many other organs in the body.  Our intake of this element has decreased significantly over the past thirty years, and hypothyroidism, fibrocystic breast disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome have become very common.  The level of urinary iodine is utilized to assess iodine intake.  Once the evaluation is complete, a specific oral dose of iodine/iodide is given and a subsequent urine test is used to evaluate the level.  Supplemental iodine has been successful in treatment of thyroid nodules, fatigue, hypothyroidism, and resolution of cysts.
Food and Environmental Allergies
You may have food and environmental sensitivities and not be aware of it.  Conventional treatments may cover your symptoms and give you temporary relief.  Our approach is to determine the allergens, eliminate, and strengthen the body’s immune system.  Asthma, hay fever, and food allergies are treatable with specific nutrients individualized to your care.
Hormonal and Metabolic Balancing
Hormones are your body’s messengers.  If they are not delivering the right messages, you will feel lousy and in time, you will develop degenerative diseases of aging.  Your endocrine glands produce hormones, but when under stress, hormone deficiency would develop.  Taking natural hormones structurally identical to what your glands produce, allows the cells to regenerate and stress is taken off the endocrine glands.  The best compounding pharmacies are used to tailor to the individual’s need.  This is not a one pill for all approach.  These hormones are prescribed at physiologic doses identical to the amount your endocrine glands produce.
Infusion Therapies

Vitamin C: Linus Pauling a noble price winner knew the important role Vitamin C played in the body. Vitamin C is water soluble and is essential in production of collagen and norepinephrine. Collagen is the building block for skin, blood vessels, bones, and ligaments. Norepinephrine is an important neurotransmitter important for brain function and stabilizing mood. Vitamin C also plays an important role in production of energy and metabolism of cholesterol. It is an excellent antioxidant and prevents cancer.

Glutathione: Glutathione is a free radical scavenger. In Parkinson's Disease or any other neurologic disorder free radicals destroy neurons, so anything that limits free radicals can slow down the disease. Glutathione also increases the sensitivity of brain receptors to dopamine. We have seen eighty to ninety percent improvement in patients with Parkinson’s disease because Glutathione allows the dopamine in the brain to be more effective. Glutathione also increases the sensitivity to serotonin, which may explain why many of our depressed patients have a remarkable improvement in their symptoms. Glutathione is also effective in treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, and Stroke.

MSM: MSM is methylsulfonylmethane which provides sulfur to joints, skin, hair, nails, and cartilage and methyl which is used in biochemical pathways which produce energy. Clinical research has shown MSM is safe and effective in increasing joint comfort and function. It is also anti inflammatory and is excellent in subsiding arthritic pain and inflammation. MSM is taken in smaller amounts as an oral supplement and higher doses intravenously. Sport injury, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Colitis, and Crohn’s disease can benefit greatly from intravenous MSM.

Chelation Therapy: Chelation is an intravenous therapy of vitamins, minerals and EDTA. EDTA is a synthetic protein that is slowly infused intravenously and binds to metal ions in the blood vessels and arteries. Metals are carried to the kidneys and are excreted. It is a highly effective treatment for heavy metal poisoning such as lead and mercury. Heavy metal detoxification has been associated with improvement in cardiovascular disease. Currently a double blinded study called TACT is in progress by National Institute of Health to evaluate the efficacy of Chelation in treatment of Cardiovascular disease. It would be exciting to have more factual information about Chelation and treatment of heart disease. At this time, however, Chelation is used empirically for treatment of vascular problems. It acts as a calcium channel blocker and lowers blood pressure and improves circulation dramatically. Patients with peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation in the extremities) have claimed to have less pain in the effected limbs after receiving Chelation Intravenously. Patients with Angina (chest pain) have also claimed to have less symptoms and improvement in their quality of life. It is important to keep in mind that until further studies are performed conventional therapy is necessary in some cases and not every individual is a candidate for Chelation therapy.

Meyer’s Cocktail: Myer’s is intravenous nutrient cocktail therapy which contains magnesium, calcium, B12, B5, B-Complex, and Vitamin C. Patients with asthma, migraine, fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, narcotic withdrawal, allergies, and rash have responded greatly to Myers cocktail.

Vitality Drip: Vitality drip is a multivitamin and trace mineral combination which is used to increase energy, health, and vitality. Patients feel vibrant, joyful, and energized after receiving the Vitality drip.

Vision Drip: Taurine and other minerals are used intravenously to improve vision. Progression of macular degeneration can be prevented with the Vision drip.

Magnesium Drip: Magnesium and other minerals are used for the treatment of hypertension, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. It is also used for cardiac arrhythmias such as Atrial Fibrillation and Tachycardia.
