is more than 200 years old and is widely accepted in many countries. It is based on the principle that like cures like. Homeopathic
remedies are very small doses of natural substances that are diluted and potentized so they can stimulate the body's self-healing
response without harmful side effects. Homeopathic remedies, when properly prescribed, affect the body’s “vital
force” and strengthen its innate ability to heal. Some conditions for which conventional medicine has no effective treatments
will respond well to homeopathy.
Cold Laser Cold Laser is light or photon energy with the unique property of being able to penetrate
up to two inches below the skin surface causing an increase in cellular metabolism with no tissue damage whatsoever.
Low Level Laser is being used to treat a variety of painful and inflamed conditions of the soft tissues and joints
such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, back pain, sport injuries. This therapy may be beneficial for valley
fever.
The FDA has ruled that the therapy is safe. The only contraindication (warning) is for use directly
in the eye.
IV Nutritional
Therapy IV (Intravenous) nutritional therapies may be recommended as part of
your health program, to facilitate your recovery. IV nutritional therapy consists of medical grade vitamins and minerals
suspended in sterile water and administered intravenously. This bipasses the digestion system to assure 100% absorption
of nutrients. Some patients have impaired digestion/absorption or because of their illness (valley fever, heart disease, diabetes,
chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, allergies, etc.) require both oral and intravenous nutritional therapies. IV therapies
are also useful in nutritional detoxification programs, immune stimulation or, simply, because of depletion of your body stores.
