| Alkaline Infusions A proper pH level (acid/alkaline measurement) of the body’s internal milieu is vital to good health, as extended pH imbalances of any kind can lead to a decrease in the body’s upbuilding and regulating forces. Alkaline infusions restore a more desirable pH balance, producing a rapid change in pH levels and leading to an environment conducive for healing and increased energy. B12/Folic Acid Vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). B12 acts with folic acid and vitamin B6 to control homocysteine levels (excess of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and potentially other diseases such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease). B12 can have a dramatic effect on well-being, with positive side-effects such as an improvement in mood, reduction of depression, and reduction of pain (specifically neurological pain, numbness and tingling). Bach Flower Remedies This collection of 38 plant-based remedies was created to address emotional problems, and each remedy is taken according to a person’s personality type. Bach Flower Remedies are a holistic form of medicine that treat the person, rather than the disease, and for each person there is a specific remedy individualized to the different emotional imbalances being experienced. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Geared for both men and women, this therapy addresses issues of hormonal imbalance in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and adrenal hormones. Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy, which relies on unnatural or synthetic versions of hormones, this natural therapy provides benefits consistent with conventional hormone therapy but in what is often a more viable option, since natural products are often better tolerated and potentially less toxic, with less associated risk than conventional options. Biological Terrain Balancing The biological terrain is the interstitial fluid that bathes and nourishes every cell in the human body; it requires a very specific and balanced chemistry for optimal health. Maintaining a balanced chemical environment includes the monitoring of the pH or acid/alkaline levels of the terrain, as well as assessment of the specific mineral, vitamin, electrolyte, enzyme and hormone levels. Very specific tests, which utilize urine and saliva samples can be very revealing. Botanical Medicines Many plant substances are powerful medicines that are safe and effective when used properly. Significant scientific research throughout Europe and Asia is demonstrating that some plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in some clinical conditions. Brainwave Therapy Most people have an imbalanced nervous system due to the chronic stressful situations they encounter on a daily basis. These stressors can cause brainwave function to become imbalanced, leading to numerous symptoms including memory loss, fatigue, anxiety and more. Brainwave therapy is a comfortable, relaxing procedure during which a brainwave machine sends out various silent impulses intended to normalize your brainwaves, and to decrease any detrimental nervous system conditions you may be experiencing. Colorpuncture This gentle, non-invasive system of colored acu-light therapy combines energetic principles of Chinese medicine with modern discoveries about the bio-physics of light and certain spiritual or esoteric principles. Particular treatments may help balance and de-stress the nervous system, detoxify the body, relieve pain, tonify and strengthen specific organs, and more. Along with the use of sound tapes, colorpuncture is able to access deep subconscious emotional, mental and spiritual patterns, to help “find your way back to yourself.” Clinical Nutrition This cornerstone of naturopathic medicine refers to both the practice of using food to maintain health and the therapeutic use of food to treat illness. Scientific studies have shown that many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with food and nutritional supplements as they can by other means, with fewer complications and side effects. Detoxification Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. A healthy diet and natural detoxification supplements such as herbs and nutrients can help stimulate internal detoxification (cleansing). A gentle cleansing can benefit the body in myriad ways, including improved health, mental clarity, restful sleep and recharged vitality. Essential Oils/Aromatherapy Aromatherapy uses the essential oils extracted from plants and herbs to treat conditions ranging from infections and skin disorders to immune deficiencies and stress. European Biological Medicines (including SANUM Therapy) Dr. Stills lectures and teaches other doctors on the applications and benefits of this unique, holistic approach to life and disease. Disease within the body is a reaction to internal and external influences, and biological medicine is a natural approach to putting our bodily reactions back into proper balance, to stimulate the body’s innate healing abilities. SANUM Therapy is a comprehensive natural, holistic healing system used successfully, worldwide, for over 50 years. It is the world’s only process that utilizes the complete natural system of homeopathic and isopathic medicines. Far Infrared Sauna Offers many of the benefits of exercise while requiring much less exertion. Heating the body can help destroy bacteria, viruses and tumors. Sweating promotes elimination of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, radiation and other toxins. Additional benefits may include improved circulation and relief of internal congestion. Homeopathic Allergy Relief Homeopathic remedies mixed with a patient’s own blood can “down-regulate” the immune reaction and therefore lessen the allergic response. Homeopathy This medical system uses highly diluted substances to treat illness. Homeopathic remedies act to enhance the body’s innate immune response, and rarely have side effects. Some conditions that do not respond well to conventional medicine will respond to homeopathic therapies. Hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy is the use of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Hydrotherapy includes full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation, and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. “Constitutional hydrotherapy” may be the most effective therapy for stimulating the immune system and achieving total body detoxification. It has been used for years to detoxify heavy metal exposure, pesticide/herbicide toxicity, and the daily toxic buildup of improper diet and lifestyle. It is called constitutional hydrotherapy because it changes the very constitution of each individual cell. This means that each cell in the body is stimulated to dump waste products, to utilize nutrition more efficiently, and to work more effectively. Ion Cleansing In today's toxic environment, tissue acid wastes, chemical and heavy metal residues build up in the body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies, as well as mental and physical incapacitation. Ion cleansing foot baths help to rid the body of harmful waste products and residue, and to maintain a healthy alkaline environment throughout the body. Lifestyle Counseling Personalized lifestyle counseling addresses the issues of stress, sleep, diet, exercise, emotions and relationships, to help prevent disease and attain physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Massage Therapy Using a combination of techniques ranging from Shiatsu, acupressure, trigger point, lymphatic remedial therapy and postural alignment techniques, massage therapy is designed to release tension and restore function to the lymphatic circulatory, endocrine and nervous system. Neural Therapy Neural therapy uses homeopathic remedies to remove short circuits in the body’s electrical network. This process frees up the body’s flow of energy and normalizes cellular function, making neural therapy an effective treatment for a variety of health conditions, especially chronic pain. Paracelsus Influenza Vaccine Not specifically a vaccination against the influenza virus, this natural vaccine from Switzerland includes a mixture of combination homeopathic and isopathic remedies that act together to activate the non-specific defensive mechanisms in the immune system, and stimulate them against toxins. Sound Healing Utilizing Tibetan bowls and specific sound tapes, sound healing is able to bring the body to a deep state of relaxation, providing the ideal environment for the body’s innate healing forces to address total health. Supervised Fasting and Cleansing Programs Proven throughout history for physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation, fasting is used to help promote cleansing and healing, to help normalize weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol, to rebuild the immune system, and to help reverse the aging process. |
