Conditions I Treat
Conditions I treat: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Organ Imbalances
It is not uncommon for panic attacks and minor injuries to lead people into the emergency room at a large hospital. As a result, they end up paying a lot of money. Having done “true emergencies” in my past as an MD, I can assess the person and guide my patients into what to do for healing with far less stress than going to the ER and for a more affordable price.
I treat most physical, mental, emotional, and organ imbalances using a variety of diagnostic tools and treatment options. (See Diagnostic Tools and Treatment Options)
Weight Management
Find your ideal weight and stop dieting, done by understanding your body and your body’s needs.
Prediabetes & Diabetes
High and low blood sugars are part of the same imbalance. Very much related to stress through the cortisol or stress hormone.
Pre-Hypertension & Hypertension
Pre-hypertension or hypertension either can or cannot go together with imbalances in blood sugar. High blood pressure is very much related to stress and easily seen in iris diagnosis.
Cardovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are usually silent. It is important to check yourself once a year on cholesterol, fatty acids, and more.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a “group of symptoms” of hypertension, imbalances, blood sugar, and obesity. Very important to diagnose and treat.
Osteoporosis / Osteopenia
Osteoporosis is a disease of “old age” due to mineral imbalances and an ‘acidic diet.’ Acidity in the blood takes the minerals from the bones and leads to osteoporosis.
Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto, in which the body “fights against itself.” I offer a holistic approach through diet, nutraceuticals, bodywork, and mindfulness. Following up with testing.
Rheumatology
Rheumatology is pain in the joints. Look at arthritis.
Insomnia
Insomnia has so many causes and often responds to herbs that target the nervous system,
and aminoacid therapy.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is often due to sudden trauma or repetitive small traumas; very much related to mineral imbalances.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain (arthritis) due to acid terrain or acid blood. Diet will need to be changed, as well as treatments with water (hydrotherapy) and clay and others.
Adrenal Disorder / Adrenal Fatigue
Adrenal fatigue has different degrees. The higher the fatigue, the longer it will take to treat it. As your doctor, I will help you feel better.
Thyroid problems
One of the “external glands” easily damaged by the environment.
Depression / Anxiety
Depression has so many causes. The naturopathic approach at my office uses neurotransmitter and other tests and amino acids and minerals for treatment.
Interest in Healthy Aging
Hormonal assessments and perhaps replacement.
Cold / Flu / Chronic Infection
Colds/Flus happen every year. Strengthening the body’s defenses and the immune system will
be the key.
Migraine
Perhaps related to food or environmental allergies or bone misalignments, usually
cervical areas.
Obstetrics
Focusing on the follow-up with the mother and father before, during, and after pregnancy with
nutrition advice.
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Different testing to assess histamine and kryptopyrrole, as well as zinc and other deficiencies to assist the child early in life is much more effective than waiting till puberty.
Pediatrics
Wellness exams, nutrition advise.
Gynecology
Menstrual disorders, pain, excessive or low bleeding.
Women’s Health
Breast exams and referrals for thermograms and hormonal testing.
Menopausal Symptoms
Natural state of transition in life, often needing herbs for hot flashes and preventing osteoporosis.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome related to stress, diet, perhaps parasites.
Allergies (Foods & Environmental)
Both are treatable at my office. A blood test is often done to be more specific at changing your diet.
Men’s Health
Men’s health from cardiovascular to prostate to weight and mood.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD & IBS)
IBD, Irritable Bowel disease, is a more advanced disease than IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
but with the same causes and treatment.
Peptic Ulcer / Gastritis
A very common imbalance, due to high or low stomach acid, again easily seen in iris diagnosis done at my office.
Indigestion / Acid Reflux / GERD
These conditions are typically usually due to low stomach acid.
Celiac / Gluten Sensitivity
Celiac disease is a true genetic disease where the person is unable to eat gluten. Gluten sensitivity will disappear if a person stops eating gluten. Intestines need to heal from the damage. Called “leaky gut.”
Cholesterol Abnormalities
Cholesterol abnormalities, low or high, are sometimes genetic, but most of the cases are related to food and oils that damage the arteries.
Skin diseases
Skin is an organ of elimination. If kidneys are not working well at eliminating waste, the skin might take over. Sometimes, viruses or bacteria affect the skin. May be a sign of blood sugar imbalances.
Cancer
A condition of the whole body being affected, even if it just shows in one area of the body.
Asthma
Asthma is a problem with the airways of the lungs and often appears later in life. It can be induced by exercise.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are a very painful condition of the kidneys, making “Stones,” usually of calcium. Treatable with diet and other botanicals.
Diverticulosis / itis
Diverticulosis/itis are pouches in the intestines where food gets stuck. The weakness of the intestinal wall is what my office will help you strengthen.
