Treatments

We use a wide range of custom IV therapies that are individually tailored to the needs of each patient, whether for energy, pain, immune function, detoxification or for attacking viruses, bacteria or yeast. These include custom mitochondrial boosting (energy) or immune modulating IV’s, nutritional IV’s, Iron IV’s, and Colloidal silver IV’s. Intravenous (IV) therapy is a method to deliver nutrients and therapeutic agents directly into the bloodstream. Individuals with chronic illnesses, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease and those with chronic infections (especially Lyme disease), often have functional nutritional deficiencies that compromise cellular function.

These deficiencies affect the body’s ability to make energy and fight infections. Oral supplementation is an inefficient means of delivering nutrients and therapies to the cells. The oral doses needed to improve cellular function cannot be reached due to limitations of absorption and because they are quickly broken down in the liver (when absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract all nutrients and therapeutic compounds are first delivered directly to the liver) so they must survive this “first pass metabolism”. When therapies are given intravenously, however, they are not quickly inactivated by the liver as they do when given orally, making the therapies much more effective. Major improvements are often seen in a short period of time (so is a good way to jump-start treatment).

Low dose allergen treatment (LDA) is a safe and effective method of immunotherapy used for treating food and environmental allergies. Far different from typical allergy treatments, LDA contains unique antigens that help restore your body’s immune tolerance to the environment outside and inside your body. It is used to treat multiple conditions and appears to be a long-lasting treatment option for allergy and many autoimmune illnesses. It is also appears to be effective in the treatment of variety of chronic illnesses including Lyme disease and autoimmune dysfunction by modulating the immune system.

LDA includes mixtures of over three hundred allergens that act quite universally. This means that patients allergic or intolerant to many substances, and with quite diverse medical conditions, respond well to treatment. We use a variety of LDA mixtures, including inhaled pollens, danders, dust and mites, fungi, yeast (including Candida species), molds, foods, many food additives, most common chemicals and perfumes and formaldehyde.

How it works: LDA therapy involves injections of minute doses of various allergens in combination with the enzyme, betaglucuronidase which stimulates the T-suppressor cells. By stimulating T-suppressor cells, the beta glucuronidase disarms part of the immune system, which has mistakenly attacked normal food particles and body cells, thereby causing patients to become ill. Rather than temporarily eliminating allergy symptoms or temporarily reducing the body’s histamine level, LDA teaches the immune system, or the white blood cells, to stop attacking normal substances that the body encounters. The immune system learns to recognize “innocent” substances and body components, over time patients experience profound allergy relief.LDA therapy has a cumulative effect on allergies, so patients require fewer injections as time goes on. Many patients have demonstrated that they no longer require treatment after a given number of injections.LDA utilizes the enzyme beta glucuronidase, which is a natural substance that is manufactured by the human body. The beta glucuronidase simply increases the effectiveness of the tiny amount of allergens contained in the LDA formulation. Therefore, you have safe, minuscule amounts of allergens with a maximum potential benefit.

Low dose immunotherapy, (LDI), is a revolutionary treatment that has been shown to provide dramatic relief of symptoms and improvement in health for patients with a wide range of chronic illnesses, including Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, interstitial cystitis and lupus. It is effective and originally used for chronic allergies.

Ozone Therapy is a unique and integrative treatment that is used to increase the amount of oxygen in the body through the introduction of ozone into the body. This is achieved through the process known as autohemotherapy, in which blood is drawn from a patient, exposed to ozone and re-injected intravenously (directly into the vein). The effects are shown to be both healing and detoxifying with its main purpose of suppressing infection and boosting the immune system.

The history of Ozone Therapy dates back to the early 1950’s in Germany and has since gained recognition in the United States as more physicians are understanding its health benefits. Studies have shown that as part of an overall integrative treatment plan, it produces positive outcomes for treating a variety of conditions and illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic hepatitis, herpes, chemical sensitivities, macular degeneration, chronic bladder conditions, colitis, and Crohn’s disease.

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that are linked together, and can be thought of as a small protein. To date, over 7,000 naturally-occurring peptides have been identified. In our bodies, these small proteins typically act as signaling molecules. They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do.

Peptide therapy, or the use of specific peptides in treatment, has gained great popularity in recent years. This is due largely to the fact that these peptides are highly specific (i.e., only do what you want them to do) while also being well-tolerated and safe. As of January 2015, there were over 60 US FDA-approved peptide medications, 140 peptide drugs being evaluated in clinical trials, and 500 in pre-clinical development.

Most of these peptide drugs are administered intradermally, but can also come in the form of transdermal creams, nasal sprays, and oral tablets.
