by Dr. Shelley Crombach —  Are you tired or toxic? In recent decades people have begun to see the role toxicity can play in overall energy and health. Now it seems that there are more detoxification kits in nutrition stores than we can count. Let’s examine what exactly we are trying to clean up in […]

by Dr. Steven Siegel —  Today, we see many patients complaining of a wide and diverse set of debilitating symptoms that greatly reduce their quality of life. An example is Lyme disease, where the infection is gone but the biotoxins remain to continue perpetuating the illness. The answer appears to be in an emerging new […]

by Betsy Timmerman —  Many years ago, I met Dr. Carolyn McMakin in California at a fibromyalgia conference sponsored by the National Fibromyalgia Association. She was demonstrating her frequency specific micro-current (FSM) program and was touting it as a virtual cure for fibromyalgia. At the time, there were few practitioners of the art, but today […]

by Brenda Haas-Krieger —  Lyme disease is a seriously complex multi-system, inflammatory disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, spirochete bacteria similar to that which causes syphilis. Both Lyme and syphilis are called the great imitators because their symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Chronic cases of Lyme, cases that persist many months and years after the […]

by Betsy Timmerman —  Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome that has reached epidemic proportions today. Once believed to affect 2 to 4 percent of the population, that estimate has climbed in recent years. Chronic pain in all four quadrants of the body for more than three months is the leading definition of the illness, […]

by Dr. Robin Terranella —  Probiotics are bacteria consumed for health benefits. “Biotic” means life and “pro” means promoting or for; therefore, these bacteria “promote life” or are “for life.” It may seem strange to consume bacteria in the hope of promoting health, but that is exactly what is done with probiotics. Most people use […]

by Kim Blankenship —  It is well known that acupuncture relieves pain. The practice has been utilized for this purpose for thousands of years in Asia and for the last few decades here in the United States. But just exactly how acupuncture works so effectively has been a mystery — until now. A recent study […]

by Dr. Kenneth F. Muhich —  Twenty years ago, the term fibromyalgia was as misunderstood as it is today. The problem now, as it was then, is that the general public knows little if anything about this condition. What is worse is that most health providers and many supposed part-time nutrition salespeople have jumped on […]

by Maria Troia —  It would be logical to think that low back pain should be addressed by focusing on the back muscles. However, particularly in the cases of women who have had caesarean sections and hysterectomies, it is vital to treat the front of the body to release the scar tissue causing the low […]

by Brian Skow —  Asian medicine (which includes Asian Bodywork Therapy or ABT, Chinese herbology and acupuncture) is effective at treating conditions where emotional disturbance or stress is an underlying factor. This includes insomnia, anxiety and depression, muscular tension, headaches, digestive disturbances, menstrual dysfunction and low resistance to infection. Also included are multi-symptom illnesses such […]

by Maria Troia —  Those who are faced with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia often find themselves confused as to what the diagnosis really means and what has caused it. Modern medicine offers little in the way of an explanation beyond a faulty immune system or inflammation. Patients are almost always handed prescriptions, which often cause […]

by Dr. Kenneth F. Muhich —  Hypoglycemia syndrome is a condition of low glucose (blood sugar) levels. Glucose is a source of both physical (muscle) and mental (brain) energy. The brain, representing only 2 percent of the body’s weight, has no energy stores of its own, yet it requires about 60 percent of the body’s […]

by Dr. Kenneth F. Muhich —  More and more research has validated the notion that the symptoms of fibromyalgia derive from the same source — inflammation. This inflammatory process is often insidious and usually attacks the body’s weakest area. It can affect any organ or tissue, and may eventually affect the entire body, as is […]
