Your body is a miraculous, self-assembling and self- healing system.
Health issues can be thought of as problems in system control. Recent
clinical nutrition theory identifies several basic problems in control
that involve multiple body systems. For this reason theses issues
often fall through the cracks in conventional medical treatment.
- Blood Sugar Dysregulation
- Inflammation
- Allergies
- Chronic Stress Adaptations
- Brain neurotransmitters
- Hormone Balance
- Immune System Imbalances
- Digestion and assimilation
- Toxic burden
- Stealth Infections
These issues will produce multiple system dysfunction. They underlie chronic degenerative diseases. Unless they addressed real health is not possible. Most cases of chronic disease involve more than one of these syndromes and they tend to interact with each other. For example hormone imbalances can cause neurotransmitter deficiencies; chronic allergies can cause immune system imbalance.
Treating Symptoms vs Treating the Cause
Skin problems are a classic example. Most chronic skin conditions reflect a system out of balance. But the same is true of almost all chronic conditions. Most significant chronic conditions involve two or more of the above syndromes because dysregulation tends spread through the whole system. For example, allergy, chronic stealth infection or toxic burden can cause inflammation. Inflammation results in high levels of chemicals called cytokines which disrupt neurotransmitters and hormone function. Symptoms cannot be treated in isolation.
Clinical Nutrition Clinical Nutrition represents a genuine revolution in healthcare. More
and more people are waking to the fact that there are safe and
effective alternatives to toxic pharmaceuticals. In the past 20 years
that I have been in practice there has been an explosion of our
knowledge of the biochemistry and physiology underlying disease and
dysfunction.
Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis 
We use standard blood chemistry panels to understand the processes of
health and disease and correct them by natural means. Drugs may be
necessary in some situations but in the long term helping your body
function normally is the better way.
Applied Kinesiology 
I have found applied kinesiology to be the quickest way of finding the
source of a patient's problems. It does not stand alone, but is an
extension of traditional diagnostic tools including taking a good
history, physical examination and lab work.
Solvng Chronic Health Problems If you have a
broken leg or acute pneumonia, conventional medicine is definitely
called for, but it has had much less success with chronic diseases.
Many people "fall through the cracks," of conventional health care,
receiving increasingly toxic treatment aimed at suppressing symptoms
rather than restoring health.
Dysbiosis is the undiagnosed disease of our time Your body is an ecological system. In the large
intestine alone there are normally over 500 different identified
species of organisms. Our bodies are more like a coral reef, with many
non-human species meant to live in balance. Many factors in modern life
can throw this balance into disorder. This state of disorder is called dysbiosis.
Integral Medicine. The yellow and orange rings inside the red square is a photograph of
the Belousov-Zhabotinski (B-Z) Reaction. Mix the right chemicals and
the designs occur spontaneously and change in regular patterns. This
is a self organizing system, much like your body and the natural world
of which you are a part. This realization leads to a radical departure
from conventional healthcare. It is the science behind the concept
that your body is meant to heal itself. I believe that integral
science is the key to uniting science and spiritual truth, traditional
healing systems and the future medicine based on integral science.
Why You Need Alternative Healthcare We Don't Have a Health Care System, we have a disease care system and
it's not working. Americans spend more than any other country on
health care and have the worst outcomes of any major industrialized
country. The medical system in not only an economic disaster but has
been fundamentally corrupted by its financial ties to the drug and
insurance industries.
