updated meHello and thank you for your continued interest in Naturopathic Medicine!
 
It is surprising how many conditions have environmental toxicity as an underlying cause.  Perhaps you are not aware of how your health can be affected, or better said, how your health can improve by removing these toxins from your body.

Hope you enjoy and learn something new!
Environmental Awareness

 

 Did you know? The most comprehensive study to date looked at a much smaller number of persons (9) for the presence of 210 different chemicals.     

 

In total, the nine subjects carried:

 

76 chemicals linked to cancer in humans or animals

94 chemicals that are toxic to the brain/nervous system

86 chemicals that interfere with the hormone system

79 chemicals associated with birth defects or 

77 chemicals toxic to the reproductive system

77 chemicals toxic to the immune system 

 

An article in the Washington Post revealed more.

 

The burden of chemicals that we all appear to be carrying:

  • Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury) 
  • Dioxins (from waste incineration, paper bleaching)
  • Vollatile compounds (styrene, xylene, dichlorobenzene, ethylphenol)
  • Chlorinated compounds (DDE/T, PCB;s, Chlordance
  • Pesticides (organophosphates)
  • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (burning fuel, grilled/blackened meats)

Here are some plants that help clean the air

 

How do these chemicals affect our health?

  

  1. Immune system
    1. Decreased
    2. Allergies, chronic infections, autoimmunity, cancers (lymphoma, b-cell)
  2. Nervous system
    1. Toxic encephalopathy - brain fog
    2. Neuropathies, axonopathies, myelinopathies                        
    3. Coordination changes, numbness, tingling
  3. Endocrine system
    1. Metabolism of hormones affected
    2. Sleep disturbance, low energy or mood, changes in weight, appetite

Detoxification is needed for most all patients that come in my office. For more information go to articles and links, detoxification, or heavy metal chelation pages on my website.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
A healthy way to detox
The program that took Australia by storm is now in the US!!
I am pleased to be one of the few physicians trained in this method apple meas tapeof weight loss. ULTRA LITE was developed by a Naturopathic Physician, and teaches you how to eat right for life. 

hCG is all the talk these days.  This diet is not for everyone.  i conduct a thorough screening, including lab work, before patients are selected for this program. 

The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG,  injected.  The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day.  In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.


By avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar, and limiting excess carbohydrates you will maximize fat loss as your body will instead burn stored fat, providing energy through natural ketosis.

Research shows that the #1 factor in how much weight is lost and how much is kept off - is Physician monitoring.
I would love to talk to you.  If you would like, feel free to call and set up a phone consult, free of charge. 
 
To your health!
