DRY BLOOD CELL ANALYSIS
The study of dried blood under a microscope is a window into the body showing the underlying health of the individual. There are many correlations between patterns in the blood and abnormalities in the body. We consider this to be one of our most important resources for tracking the progress of treatment.
NUTRITIONAL RESPONSE TESTING
Nutrition Response Testing is taking individualized treatment to a whole new level. With the use of muscle testing, organ reflex and acupuncture points, we determine the best treatment plan for your body. With this system we are able to identify if there is an immune challenge, chemical burden, heavy metal toxicity, scar or food that is preventing your body from being able to heal itself and function properly. NRT has been especially helpful for challenging cases that do not respond to treatments as predicted. The session takes approximately 20-30 minutes and is highly effective in taking your treatment to the next level.
CARROLL FOOD INTOLERANCE TESTING
The Carroll food intolerance method is an assessment of the enzymatic inability to adequately digest or metabolize a food, food derivative or food combination. This is not a food allergy test. Allergies include an immune system reaction to a food in the gut or in the blood, and often change over time. Food intolerances lead to improperly digested food in the body that are responsible for the generation of toxemia in the gut. Much of food allergies are secondary to food intolerances. By elimination of the intolerant foods, toxemia that leads to acute and chronic disease is cleared, including a significant portion of food allergies. Avoiding your food intolerance promotes optimal metabolism and immune function, allowing the body to heal itself from disease and dysfunction.
CONSTITUTIONAL HOMEOPATHY
The use of homeopathy has a 200+ year history of highly effective cures. Homeopathy uses natural substances, derived mostly from plants and minerals, to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. A correct prescription brings the person back into balance physically, mentally, and emotionally. This modality is very safe, gentle, and side effect free. It is especially great for children.
WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS/HERBS
A proper diet is still the best medicine; however, nutrients and herbs can provide the much needed support for nutritional deficiencies and the treatment of acute and chronic health concerns. Our office uses only the highest quality products held to the highest manufacturing standards. Many of our supplements are made from whole foods, versus synthetic vitamins, which have deep and long-term healing effect on the body.
CONSTITUTIONAL HYDROTHERAPY
Medical hydrotherapy combines the application of hot and cold wet towels to the front and back of the body in combination with physiotherapy machines to specific organs or spinal levels. Constitutional hydrotherapy is clinically proven to detoxify the digestive tract, reduce inflammation, and improve the composition of the circulating blood. It is commonly used to treat infections, digestive disorders, skin conditions, childhood complaints, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, mood disorders, asthma/allergies, thyroid and adrenal disorders, liver disease and stress disorders.
What do I wear?
In order to apply the towels to your upper torso and back, you will undress from the waist up and wear a robe that we will provide for you when you arrive to your appointment.
How long does it take?
Each session is typically 45-mins to 1-hour
What does it feel like?
The treatment feels like a relaxing spa treatment. Many people fall asleep during the session. It is very gentle but has deep acting effects on your health and overall sense of wellbeing.
How does it work?
Approximately 60% of the body and 70% of the brain is made up of water. Water is vital for life and health. The properties that make it an excellent healing agent is its ability to store and give off large amounts of heat. When the body comes in contact with the change in temperature, the nervous system responds and the body moves the blood between the internal organs and external body. This has both cleansing and tonifying long-term effects. Gentle electrical stimulation to the spine and abdomen is used to enhance digestion. In addition, a high frequency or diathermy machine may be used to increase blood flow and fight microbial infections.
Can people who are not current patients come in for hydro treatments?
In order to apply the treatment correctly it is required to have a health workup before your first hydro. However, if you are already being seen by a healthcare professional, they can refer you for hydro treatments only.
A note to patients: If hydrotherapy is not currently a part of your treatment plan and you become ill with a cold, flu, sinus infection, etc you should call our office immediately to schedule a hydrotherapy session. The hydrotherapy session will help to stop the infection from progressing and greatly reduce the amount of discomfort and duration of the illness!
