Natural Hormone Replacement using Pellet Therapy
Hormones can be implanted under the skin using a method developed over 60 years ago. After injecting a local anesthetic, a small incision is made in the skin of the lateral buttock. Tiny pellets made of bioidentical forms of estrogen and testosterone are placed through the incision into the subcutaneous fat. The pellets gradually release hormones over the next 4-6 months, relieving menopausal symptoms, improving energy and libido, and increasing bone density. Pellets are superior to oral, transdermal and sublingual hormone formulations.

Even More Reasons to Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup
The reasons to avoid high fructose corn syrup continue to mount. There is little doubt in my mind that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the most toxic chemicals to find its way into our restaurants, supermarkets and even health food stores. It has replaced sugar in many processed foods and has become ubiquitous in the diets of many Americans. It has found its way into beverages, breads, cereals, snack bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups and condiments.

Discontinuing Psychiatric Medications
There are many reasons to stop taking psychiatric drugs. One reason is to restore the range of normal human emotions that allow us to experience life. Psychiatric drugs blunt emotional responses, creating a zombie-like effect. In handling grief and pain, we are able to process and understand the events that caused those emotions. Maturity and growth are otherwise limited, and we do not advance.

Dietary Supplements: Are They Safe? Do They Work?
The Food and Drug Administration is enforcing regulations to ensure the safety of nutritional supplements. Within the next 1-2 years, supplement manufacturers will need to satisfy these requirements or go out of business. The cost of buying these supplements will substantially increase. What has caused this change? Are vitamins and minerals dangerous? Are people at risk of illness or death from taking supplements?

Seizures Do Not Cause Brain Injury
Seizures do not cause brain injury. They are a consequence of brain injury. Unfortunately, medication therapy for seizures is customary, with the assertion by treating physicians that the drugs used will suppress seizures and protect the brain. What happens, however, is that the drugs invariably suppress the brain, and often do not prevent seizures. All seizure medications are sedatives. They cause drowsiness, reduced alertness, lowered consciousness. What children with impaired brain function require is more consciousness, more alertness, so that the brain can develop.

Cardiac Catheterizations - Done Without Reason
Coronary angiograms are injections of dye into the arteries of the heart to visualize blockages. Access to these arteries is obtained through the femoral artery, located in the groin. Well over a million of these procedures are performed every year in the United States. The purpose of the angiogram is to locate blockages in the coronary arteries that may be relieved by balloon angioplasty or stent placement, or establish a need for bypass surgery.

Diverticulosis - What to Eat
Diverticulosis, otherwise known as diverticular disease is the condition of having outpocketings of the colonic mucosa and submucosa through weaknesses of muscle layers in the colon wall. Diverticuli develop in the majority of people in industrialized societies as they get older, most likely due to the absence of fiber in their diets. About 10% of the US population over the age of 40 and half over the age of 60 has diverticulosis. Minute ruptures occur in the wall of the large intestine, which can become inflamed and infected, a condition called diverticulitis.

The Value of Progressive Medicine
A doctor friend recently asked me if our Institute for Progressive Medicine was ahead of the curve of medical practice today, and if I thought our methods were economical, or were so expensive that only the rich could afford them. I told him that we are ahead of the curve, that our philosophy of preventing and treating illness with lifestyle changes and nutrient supplements was far superior to the current practice of offering a drug for every illness or possibility of illness.

How We Treat Osteoporosis and Musculoskeletal Disorders
We have great success in preventing and reversing osteoporosis. Most women and many men are at risk for osteoporotic bone fractures as they get older. Osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones, occurs with the hormonal deficiency of menopause, lack of exercise, weight loss, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, steroid therapy, high protein diets and vitami D deficiency. Certain medications increase bone loss, including cortisone-like drugs and antidepressants. Osteoporosis is more common in tall, light-complexioned women.

Integrative Medicine for Young People
The most important medicine is preventive, keeping illness from happening instead of waiting until it occurs. It is less costly, and more effective, to anticipate problems and work to keep them from happening, than to have to address illnesses that may be incurable. Efforts to ensure a child’s well-being, made before the child’s birth and during the early years of life, promote a lifetime of good health. It has been shown that children born premature, or with low or very high birth weight, are at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
