Patient Testimonial:
7 years ago, mere weeks after the birth of my son, Doctors shared the news of a dreaded diagnosis of an Autoimmune Disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis. That was the reason that I could no longer type a sentence on a keyboard or worse...button my 3 week old baby's onesie! I would now have take a series of toxic and debilitating medications for the rest of my life?
No, I met Dr. McManus. I was recommended to seek a third referral from a Holistic Doctor who didn't believe in treating the symptoms through medication, but rather diagnosing and treating the root cause!
Dr. McManus, convinced I did not have RA, put me on a Yeast Cleanse and my life was forever changed! Indeed, I did not have RA, rather was a victim of my own lifestyle. New diagnosis: Food Allergies?! I believed I was relatively healthy...exercised a lot and ate "right". What I learned from Dr. McManus and her incredible Staff was an invaluable way of accomplishing overall great health through "varied" nutrition, supplements and hormone balance.
7 years ago I was given a bleak (and inaccurate) diagnosis by traditional doctors that would have cost me a fortune in unnecessary medications with terrible side effects. Today I am happy and healthy and forever grateful that I sought that "third" opinion from a Doctor who truly cares about her patients!
THANK YOU, Dr. McManus, I am forever indebted!

The Essentials on
Essential Oils
Essential oils have been used throughout history by many cultures for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. With growing scientific validation and expanding markets for natural approaches to healing and wellness, interest in the use of essential oils is on the rise. Essential oils are natural compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, and flowers of plants. Their constituents include naturally occurring chemical structures that offer a variety of favorable effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, cancer cell inhibitors, antiseptic, sedative, mood enhancing, antispasmodic, and fever-reducing, just to name a few. Known for their aromatic properties, essential oils can be applied in three different methods: aromatically diffused, applied topically to the skin or taken internally in supplements, food or beverages. They are very popular fragrances in many natural body care products and soaps.

How to Use Essential Oils in the Kitchen
Most likely, without really being aware of it, you have experienced essential oils in your food for a long time. Chewing gum is one example. Candy makers have been long time users of essential oils, though the quality and health benefits of these oils is arguable. When you use pure, superior quality essential oils in food preparation, however, you not only add delicious flavor, but also increase the healthful benefits of your food.
Essential oils that come from edible plants are safe and perfectly suited to enhancing the flavor and health benefits of the foods you prepare every day. The essential oils that have been listed as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by the FDA include:

Changes with Our
Supplement Lines
 In February 2014, Complementary Prescriptions™ joined the SFI team of healthcare practitioner brands along with ProThera® and Klaire Labs® to continue to provide high quality nutritional supplements and innovative formulas. Since this merger, Complementary Prescrip-tions has decided to eliminate supplements that are also offered through the other brands. As these changes occur we will do our best to ensure that our replacement products are comparable in value and potency so that you can rest assured you are still taking quality products that are recommended by TWIHW staff. In addition, during this transition, some supplements have been on back order for weeks to months at a time, and while we hope these days are behind us, it's possible there may be future bumps in the road. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all transition through these changes. Celeste Valle, MBA Practice Administrator
