These include chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, allergies, hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular diseases, hepatitis, diabetes, arthritis, intestinal conditions of various sorts, attentional deficits, autism, age-related problems, hypertension, diabetes, emotional and psychological disorders and many other conditions, and we have had great success in addressing most of these problems. We also see many people interested in optimizing their health, reversing some of the signs and symptoms of aging or wishing to lose weight, end their addictions, eliminate their cellulite or just feel and look their best. The Integrative/Holistic Philosophy-" Complete Health Evaluation" We believe the best way to resolve health concerns is to first reduce or eliminate the things that are harming the body or causing health problems. The areas to investigate in this regard include such things as looking for unsuspected food allergies (these are generally mediated by IgG, not IgE sensitivities), environmental toxins, gut dysbiosis (undesirable balances of intestinal organisms that can produce disease), chronic infections, etc. Sometimes it is necessary to evaluate for hormonal imbalances in the areas of Adrenal, Thyroid, Female/Male hormones or evaluate for nutritional deficiencies at a cellular leval; things that the body requires for optimal health that are not present in sufficient amounts. This list includes vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, adequate protein intake, to actually get to the root of the problem. If one gets out "the bad guys" and replenishes the "good guys" then good health is likely to follow. Conventional (allopathic) approaches to medical care tend to be disease based, and conventional therapies are, more often than not, directed at treating symptoms not causes. For example, patients with migraine headaches are generally treated with "triptan" medications or other pain relievers and must take these each time a headache occurs. The "Integrative/Holistic" approach would be to find those things that "trigger" the headache and to eliminate these triggers. These include food allergies and sensitivities, hormone-related issues, biorhythm disruptions, etc. In this regard there are at least a dozen studies relating frequent migraine headaches to food allergies and senitivities. One such study (Grant, ECG; "Food allergies and migraine." Lancet 1979; 1:966-969) evaluated 60 migraine sufferers who averaged over 400 migraines per month (as a group). After eliminating the offending foods, the number of headaches in the group fell to just 6 per month, and 85% of the patients became headache free! Exclusion of just the tyramine-containing foods, like cheese, chocolate, citrus and alcohol, significantly reduced the number of headaches, but only 13% of patients became headache free. Interestingly, all 15 patients with high blood pressure at the start of the study became normotensive (normal blood pressure) with the diet plus avoidance of other precipitants. If a medication were discovered which could eliminate migraine headaches in 85% of sufferers it would make headlines. But the success of elimination diets in migrainers is an area that has been virtually ignored in conventional medicine. Why is that? Good question!
