Health Savings Rollback to 2004

Through July 15, we are lowering the price of the first visit (Exam) and second visit (Report of Findings) to $50! Normally it's $135 for non-referred patients and $65 for new patients referred by you, so your friends receive another $15 off. Our New Patient special also applies to any of our past patients who have not been in for awhile and need a "Reactivation" visit. The price has not been this low since 2004! Use the coupon below or share it with someone who needs to start saving their health and could use a little incentive to start now.

 Trust me, I feel your pain.  We all know that the Sun in small doses of 15 - 20 minutes and up to 2 hours for darker complexions is highly beneficial.  The sun supplies us with essential Vitamin D that helps prevent or relieve many common health conditions such as heart health, skin, bones and mood.  The key is to gradually increase your sun exposure starting in the spring.  Light skinned Caucasians may even start turning pink with as little as 5 minutes of direct sunlight. Over the course of the season you can increase your exposure (depending on skin type) to up to half an hour to 2 hours of direct sunlight.  You can also use natural sunscreens such as Burt's Bees that we carry in the office. 

But what if you seem to burn with almost any direct sunlight (like me)? If, Despite precautions and limiting lengthy exposure, you (or your loved ones) get burned all the time? There is relief.  

The best product I have ever used for sunburn is a lotion we carry called OxiCell.  It contains glutathione which is a strong antioxidant. The amount of glutathione in a cell is considered the most accurate single indicator of the health of that cell.  It helps the liver clean the body and modulates the immune system. Ask for Oxicell when you see your doctor at your next visit.  

I have plenty of personal experience with sunburns and I've tried many lotions

and sprays over the years to soothe and moisturize the burned skin.  Oxicell beats everything I've tried to prevent the skin from feeling dry and miserable after sunburn.

We also have a Health Flier available that gives a protocol to help the rest of you get a healthy sun tan.  As for me (and others who burn easily) make sure you get enough Vitamin D from food and supplements.

In order to get enough Vitamin D intake through supplements, the dose must be 5,000 IU's per day. "IU" means International Units. Over the course of 6 months to a year, the amount of D in your blood should rise over 80. This is ideal.

Results are Typical

What was it like before you came in to see us?

I came to see Dr. Schmidt because I wanted to get my whole family healthy and thought it needs to start with me. My oldest daughters are both patients. I have a younger daughter I want to be seen also.

How is it now?

After just one day I couldn't believe how much better I felt and I thought I was fine before. The improvement after three weeks was out of this world! I wish I could get my parents on board; the improvement really is something to talk about!!

 --K.M. 6/1/11   Results are typical.

 What was it like before you came in to see us?

I had headaches, dizziness and blurred vision that I related to my elevated blood pressure. I wasn't focusing on what I was eating.

How is it now?

I no longer suffer from headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision. My blood pressure is within normal limits.    

-- L.W. 6/6/11   Results are typical.

We just received new testing vials in the last few weeks.  They are an updated, more comprehensive set that helps us find more toxins and other problems in the body.  We are very happy and excited wi

th the improved results! If you haven't been in for awhile because you felt stuck or your results plateaued, then now is a great time to come back in to get checked with the new testing vials.

We have also completed new training regarding the diet record and how to use it.  Current patients are getting better results because their diets are now more specifically suited to them. It's also easier to get off the highly addictive carbs and the changes are more gradual and easier to maintain.  

Any positive changes you have made in the past need to "stay in".  Keep doing them! If you don't, all those ridiculous and completely unnecessary health problems come back.    

Please take advantage of our updated expertise and technologies. We (the doctors) and you (the patient) are a team. We need to continue to improve and learn in this field of true healthcare and so do you because there are so many new health challenges to face. From new poisons being introduced into the environment daily.  The food manufacturers continue to manipulate our foods, GMO food is spreading, new chemicals are introduced for flavor, color and shelf life. Not to mention normal biological pathogens. Add to all of this the rampant and criminal over medication of our kids and adults too, plus the parade of  new and untested potentially more harmful vaccines and you can see we have to be constantly on our toes.  We stay ahead of these challenges for your benefit so use our knowledge and tools to guarantee your continued optimum health.

Chang - style Lettuce Wraps

1 lb. Grass Fed Ground Beef

(Can use Ground Chicken, Turkey or even chopped char-grilled chicken breasts.)

4 farm fresh eggs

1 large onion

4 cloves of garlic

4  medium carrots

1  can of water chestnuts

1 Medium cabbage

2  inch piece of ginger

6 Tbsp Organic Coconut oil

4 Tbsp Tamari (Gluten Free soy sauce)

2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil

1 Tbsp Raw Honey

About 10  leaves of Romaine, Boston Bibb or Butter  lettuce.

1. Finely chop all your veggies (except lettuce of course.)  Heat your skillet, add the coconut oil and sauté the onions and garlic until soft.  Remove and sauté the ginger, cabbage and carrots for about 10 minutes or until tender. 

2. Add the ground meat, water chestnuts, tamari and toasted sesame oil stirring occasionally. Wash the lettuce leaves while the meat cooks. When the meat is almost cooked add the eggs and scramble together and cook for a few more minutes until eggs are done.

3. Spoon small portions onto the leaves. It should make enough for 8-10 servings depending on the amount of meat mixture you put on each leaf. If they're appetizers you can probably get 15-20 smaller wraps. You can also garnish the tops with bean sprouts for the full PF effect.

Try to use fresh organic and local produce as much as possible and use grass fed meats to maximize the health and nutritional value. Arbor Farms has a great selection and the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Farmers Markets always offer fresh, local produce and even grass-fed meats from local farms. Know your farmer and know your food.
