Bio-Identical Hormones

A woman's body is a delicate balance of hormones that affect not only her ability to create life, but also affect her mood, her health, and her libido.

Through synthetic chemicals in our daily lives and synthetic hormones we have damaged the natural hormone balance that protect our hearts, our minds, our bones, our breasts, our hair and skin, our moods temperament and irritability, our libido and our fertility.

Bio-Identical hormones, Natural hormones that have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are made from soy and plant based products. In contrast, the synthetic hormones are designed by drug companies and are foreign to the human body in a unique way so they can be patented. The formula has been altered in a small way, not realizing that some of the changes which originally thought were insignificant would not be - e.g. the DES story. As recently was concluded in a women study, that provera, synthetic non bio-identical progesterone may be the" bad factor "for increasing the rate in breast cancer. Premarin, the most commonly prescribed hormone replacement, is natural to a horse, derived from pregnant mare urine, and is not natural to the human body.

Infrared Sauna

Far Infrared is an electromagnetic spectrum of wavelengths. Simply stated, the invisible band of light warms objects without warming the air between the source and the object. The sun is an example of this energy and so is the human body. When you go outside on a cold day and your face feels warm in the sunshine, this is far infrared penetrating your body 1.5 to 3.5 inches. Your body radiates this same energy. The Far Infrared Sauna duplicates these healthy infrared frequencies. The tissues selectively absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called 'resonant absorption'. This 'resonant absorption' occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine.

Toxicity is a very chronic issue in our society. Studies show that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals make up the 'total toxic burden'. When our bodies exceed the li it that we can excrete, we begin to store these toxins. This bioaccumulation seriously compromises our physiological and psychological health and leads to chronic disease.

The following symptoms are often related to toxicity: allergies, acne, anxiety, burning skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, feeling sick all over, insomnia, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory loss, mood swings, muscle and joint pains, poor concentration, the inability to lose weight, the inability to control cravings, elevated cholesterol levels, sugar sensitivities, respiratory conditions, frequent illness and constipation.

Immune System health is vital for defense against disease and illness. A typical sauna session will cause a brief 1 degree to 3 degree F increase in body temperature. Fever is the body's defense against bacteria and infection. This beneficial side effect triggers the production of white blood cells by your bone marrow and the killer T cells by your thymus. The result is a boost in immune health.

Contraindications that will restrict the use of the infrared sauna are severe adrenal suppression, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, hemophilia, and pregnancy.

HCG Diet

In 1954 Dr. A.T.W. Simeons found a solution to make the stored body fat circulate again without people having to suffer from hunger or having to exercise too much.

The solution is HCG or human chorionic gonadotropins, a hormone found in the urine of pregnant females. Dr Simeons found that small amount administered daily for a short period of time (23 to40 days) in combination with a very low calorie diet consisting of 500 calories, produces an average weight loss of 1 pound per day. The person following the protocol feels satisfied with the dietary intake of 500 calories, since the HCG helps the body to release additional calories (up to 3,500) from stored body fat. The HCG weight loss protocol performs a metabolic recovery, where the hypothalamic fat set point in the body is reset, boosting the metabolism and increasing the person's ability to burn fat at a much higher rate. HCG is also said to break down body fat, causing rapid weight loss by mass, simultaneously protecting the endogenous fat and muscles which the body needs to stay healthy, but also avoiding sagging and loose skin often characteristic in excessive weight. Daily activities can be continued without feeling weak or tired and without feeling depressed- in fact, most report feeling strong and energetic.

Colon Hudrotherapy

The Colon is 5 1/2 feet long and contains the largest concentration of bacteria in the body. They provide assistance with the absorption of folic acid, B vitamins and vitamin K from foods. In a healthy colon, lactobacillus and acidophilus are the dominant 'good' strains of bacteria that greatly outnumber the disease producing 'bad' strains of bacteria. Waste matter allowed to stagnate within the colon alters the proportion of 'good' bacteria to 'bad' bacteria and the potential for disease can exist. These 'bad' bacteria decompose and produce toxins. We build an over-abundance of yeast, we become constipated, we reduce our ability to absorb healthy water and nutrients, we lose concentration and cognitive thinking. When the toxins are absorbed into circulation they contribute to the production of disease and illness elsewhere in the body.

A healthy colon produces at least two full bowel movements per day and notes a transition time of 8 hours to 23 hours from stomach to rectum. It is responsible for a large portion of your daily life-force. Fifty percent of your immune system, fifty percent of your detoxification mechanism, and ninety-five percent of your brain-balancing seratonin is created and stored in the gut. If the gut is not working properly, neither are you!

Colon Hydrotherapy is the removal of waste from the large intestine without the use of chemicals, laxatives or synthetic drugs. Since the colon is the largest evacuation method for the body waste and toxins, it is vital to keep this 'sewer system' in the best working order.

Years of exposure to cell damaging artificial sweeteners, refined sugars, hydrogenated fats, fast foods, food preservatives, food colorings, irradiated food products, hormones, antibiotics, steroids and refined carbohydrates render our digestive system ineffective at best. Although our society is becoming more aware of the dangers of processed foods, simply correcting our eating habits is not enough. We must go into the body with fiber, herbs, natural vitamins and minerals to aid the body in repairing the damage that has occurred over the past years. We must also work to rid the colon of fecal matter, impactions and mucoid plaque that accumulate as a result of the unhealthy consumption. As these things collect within the intestines and adhere to the lining, they prevent the absorption and proper synthesis of key nutrients needed to sustain life. The key to life is the renewal and regeneration of cells within the human body. Slow and sluggish systems simply age us faster.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Oriental system of medicine used to treat and prevent illness and promote health. Medical acupuncture is the term used to describe acupuncture performed by a physician trained and licensed in Western medicine that has also had thorough training in acupuncture as a specialty practice.
Medical acupuncture is a system, which can influence three areas of health care:

•Promotion of health and well-being

•Prevention of illness

•Treatment of various medical conditions

While acupuncture is often associated with pain control, in the hands of a well-trained practitioner it has much broader applications. Acupuncture can be effective as the only treatment used, or as the support or adjunct to other medical treatment forms in many medical and surgical disorders.

The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems, including:

•Digestive disorders: gastritis and hyperacidity, spastic colon, constipation and diarrhea.

•Respiratory disorders: sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma and recurrent chest infections.
•Neurological and muscular disorders: headaches, facial tics, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, various forms of tendonitis, low back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis.

•Urinary, menstrual and reproductive problems.

The Metabolic Detoxification

Metabolic detoxification promotes balanced detoxification to help support optimal health throughout life.

“How toxic are you?”
The CDC has tested over 212 chemicals and all have been found in blood and urine of most Americans. Where are they coming from? Everywhere you look we are exposed to toxins; personal products, insecticides, pesticides in our food, plastic in bottles and heavy metals that are ramped in our environment.
Unfortunately, certain factors (like genetic, environmental exposure, unhealthy diet and lifestyle) can negatively affect how well we excrete the toxins to which we are exposed. This causes a buildup of toxins in the body leading to an increase in toxic burden.

Conditions and Symptoms associated with environmental toxicity
