Powerful Relief from Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia
Jacob Teitelbaum, MD has a 5-part program to address these difficult but
very treatable conditions that he calls “SHINE”. The 5 areas that must be addressed are Sleep,
Hormone deficiencies, Infections, Nutritional deficiencies, and Exercise as
able. Low-dose Naltrexone (LDN) has also
shown great promise. More recently, Dr.
Ty Vincent from Alaska as shown how the allergy/sensitivity treatment known as
Low-dose Allergens (LDA) can be modified to treat these problems
effectively. At Celebration of Health
Association in Bluffton, Ohio, we use all three of these modalities. Our patients are really excited by their
results.

Pain Relief in Minutes
Dr. Steven
Kaufman of Denver has invented the pain neutralization technique with several
important corollaries. No drugs, no
surgeries, no treatment devices, just light pressure from the treatment
practitioner’s hands. Those trained in
Kaufman’s, procedures, as I have, find that they can often dissolve pain
rapidly. Permanent resolution might
evolve in 1-4 treatments with relatively little cost and no side effects.
Find out more from Jonathan Wright’s newsletter, Health and
Healing, June 2013 issue, or from going to www.painneutralization.com.

Good News for Runners!
Dr. Lo
reported on a comforting study at the American College of Rheumatology meeting
in Boston. Runners who do not start
running with arthritic knees do not have an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis
due to running at any time of their life.
Go ahead and run. It’s good for
you.

Tylenol (Acetaminophen) Does Not Outperform Placebo for Low Back Pain
A large
study in Australia treated low back pain patients with acetaminophen or
placebo. The median recovery time for
both groups was 17 days. There was a
minimal relief of pain with the drug, much like using NSAID’s like ibuprofen
and Aleve. Most patients recover from
acute low back pain reasonably well with maintaining activity and utilizing
safer modalities as needed, such as acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, and
herbal supplements.

To Tan or Not to Tan
The answer
is not to tan, especially with indoor tanning booths. The Surgeon General estimates that indoor
tanning might be associated with 400,000 new cases of skin cancer and 6000
melanomas each year. 9000 people die of
melanomas yearly. One in three white
women, aged 16-25, use tanning booths.
The best protections outdoors are hats and clothing. Sunscreen might protect against harmful UV
exposure, but it has to be applied repeatedly, and it reduces the body’s
production of vitamin D, which can have its own set of problems. Get your vitamin D level checked with a blood
test, especially at this time of year.
Supplementation is often indicated to reduce the risk of cancer, heart
disease, and osteoporosis.
Google the Surgeon General’s report on indoor tanning for
more info.

The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, Phase 2The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, Phase 2The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, Phase 2The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, Phase 2The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, Phase 2
TACT-1 was
a huge study that showed that chelation therapy can prevent future cardiac
events for patients who had suffered a previous heart attack. Chief Investigator, Dr. Gervasio Lamas, has
published the study in major journals and presented the data at many medical
schools across the U.S. The most
impressive part of the study was a 51% reduction in cardiac events in diabetic
patients over a 5-year period. The FDA
was impressed as well, but they demand a confirmatory study for acceptance of
chelation therapy. Thus we now have
TACT-2. If you know anyone who is a
diabetic and has had at least one heart attack, please have him or her contact
our office to find out if they are eligible to participate in the study. They would have a 2/3 probability of receiving
$10,000 worth of treatment, without cost.

What do Autoimmune Diseases, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Yeast Have in Common?
All of
these medical problems involve malfunctions of the immune system. Conventional treatments for them are
powerful, expensive drugs that have potential side effects. For many, treatment has had limited success. We now realize that a significant factor for
all of these problems can be a sensitization which occurs to common bacteria
that reside in the patient’s digestive tract.
This sensitization might be reversed by treating with a very low dose
allergen treatment (LDA), much like homeopathic remedies. This is a natural treatment that can be given
orally without severe dietary restrictions.
The details were presented at the fall meeting of the American Academy
of Environmental Medicine. It is an
exciting new approach that we are delighted to offer at our clinic.
Google Low Dose Allergen treatment or contact our office in
Bluffton, Ohio at 800-788-4627.
