When treating a patient we strive to provide more than just rapid relief of your immediate symptoms. We focus on your overall health examining nutritional, metabolic, immune, hormonal, structural, and any toxicological factors in which you may be involved. Through a personal and comprehensive examination, we try to get to the source of your condition enabling you to restore your health. We also look at emotional and psychological factors as these create the background which shapes every aspect of your health and well-being.
Most conditions whether it involves heart disease, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, headaches, chronic infections, allergies, elevated cholesterol, depression, anxiety, PMS, menopause, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. are manageable if the underlying causes are more fully understood. That doesn’t mean we only use the latest fad or herb to cover up your symptoms. Rather, we apply scientific principles in a practical and logical way to solve your medical needs.

That means asking the right questions, careful listening, complete examinations of your physical and biochemical state and understanding how you function within your own environment. If necessary, select labs that identify your nutritional needs, allergies, hormonal status, metabolic efficiency, etc. can be performed. When it is all put together, a practical and personalized plan will be agreed upon that is designed to not only get rid of symptoms you don’t have to live with but also create a healthier, happier, more vital you.

    He talks a lot about using magnesium in treating anxiety/ depression. He might use IV magnesium injection b/c that is the best delivery. The 2nd best delivery is by using the skin. It’s called
    transdermal magnesium chloride in a foot bath
    for 1/2 hr. Unlike Epsom salts it will last 24 hrs
    by relaxing the body & mind.

    wycieczka1

    True, except if you have hidden infections or toxicity from mercury or pesticides, or if you have a nutrient poor diet your positive mental state is under attack from more than just emotional issues. Functional Medicine also includes mind-body – attacking the problem from both ends – although you are correct that he omitted that.

    This is what everyone needs to realize that
    our western medicine only treats the symptoms
    but does not deal with the real problem to begin with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the problem
    while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

    would you then side with the insurance companies who refuse pharmaceutical treatments? For prescriptions meds, it seems pharmaceutical and insurance companies would be at odds with each other.

    It would be very ground-breaking to the average MD, who knows very little about the role of nutrition in maintaining health.

    unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

    Makes sense. If only there was a functional medicine lobby to rival the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults for 5 years and saw first hand the chemical restraint used to control their undesired behaviors. It’s pretty sad. So many problems in our country, it’s overwhelming at times.

    You can measure …
    You can measure certain neurotransmitter levels in the blood and urine, however, 1) The amount in the blood or urine doesn’t tell you the amount in the brain. 2) There is no standard for an ideal level of neurotransmitters 3) blood and urine levels of neurotransmitters will vary dramatically from hour to hour. There is no definitive scientific study which says “depression is caused by this specific neurotransmitter level being below or above a specific level.”

    I searched “measuring neurotransmitter levels” and found reference to measuring urinary levels.
