What is Chelation therapy? How would I find supportive MD of complimentary/alternative therapies?

I am sick of meds… I am 50 and am having success with natural energies, nutritional suppliments etc. If I ever have to be hospitalized, I would want a supportive MD. I have talked with others about my desires, and am told that If MDs in this area of FL are open, they lose credibility and have even left the area to practice. Any suggestions?

I have a couple of suggestions. First, are there any Naturopathic Physicians (N.D.s) in Florida? These are excellent doctors who specialize in alternative therapies, including chelation.

Second, you can find a list of qualified doctors in Functional Medicine (including N.D.s, D.C.s, D.O.s and M.D.s) at the website for "The Institute of Functional Medicine". They are located in Gig Harbor, Washington and have trained doctors from all over the country (including many doctors from leading medical schools). You can find their website by doing a web-search. Doctors that take a Functional Medicine approach focus on finding and treating the cause of ill health, rather than using drugs to mask symptoms. These doctors have to be 'masters' of biochemistry and physiology, which makes them 'rare' in the medical world. They can be miracle workers for patients with chronic health issues.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes and good luck.

Is there an herbal or alternative therapy to use instead of heparin?

I have a friend that wants to know if there are any alternatives to heparin. She keeps having miscarriages. The only time she was able to carry a pregnancy to term was when she was on heparin. However, her doctors seem to think it is unrelated and will not put her back on heparin.
She believes it was the heparin that allowed her to have her first child. She has had many, many miscarriages. I believe the number is over 25 at least. When she was taking the heparin, she was able to not abort. I don't know if is a coincidence or not.

Yes, there are alternatives that are natural. She should check with a naturopath or her nearest good health foods store that sells herbs and suppliments.

She also needs to make sure she is not eating unhealthy and exercising and if she is over weight, she needs to lose the extra weight.

Has anyone used acupuncture,reflexology or any other form of alternative therapy to help insomnia?

I have tried all the usual do's and don'ts and would only like to us prescription medications as an absolute last resort.

I used another form of alternative therapy after 2 years of insomnia, was at my wits end! It took about 3 days and now I sleep like a baby every night!
Can't post links here.

I suffer with real bad headaches, looking for alternative therapy?

Since March I have suffered with bad headaches/ migraines and am currently under a neurologist, they have tried me on many types of tablets from blood pressure to pain killers and anti inflammatory type medication, so far nothing has worked. I can have then for days at a time, they keep me awake at night and make me slow and I lack concentration alot too. So much so I lost my job due to making errors and am now off sick. Any help or ideas on an altternative therapy would be good?

I'm so sorry for your headaches, but the best advice is to ask your doctor about "Inderal". I suffer from daily migraines, and have gone to neorologyst and emergency room. Inflammatory donnot help, you might of also being born with this problem if you recall suffering from headaches your entire life. They may of gotten worse because your probably currently under stress.

I use a heart medication, i know it sounds weird but Inderal is ment to lower your blood pressure the only difference from other medicines that are for blood pressure is that this one is specially made for your head, it's ment to calm down and lower all the electricity that's going on in your brain. However, you need to ask your doctor to also use an anti-depressant, which is what im currently taking. *I don't have the name yet because im suppose to get my perscription in 3 days*. But i will try to edit it here.

Since i suffer from daily migraines, and have the same problem you do, they had to mix this medication with an anti-depressant that is used for migraines. Trust me, i was hospitalized and was even given two high doses of narcotics at the hospital and it still didn't work.

Theirs an anti-depressant that is used for migraines, all i know about it is that you need to take it before you feel a headache coming along with inderal. Ask your doctor he'll know. The reason why they give people like us anti inflammatory, anti- depressant and heart medication for our headaches it's because no one has a true cure for headaches & migraines, sadly theirs people born this way. I was born weaker than other people, and you seem to be as sensitive or born this way. All i've noticed is that when i also get stressed my migraines endure longer. Now with this medicine i feel better.

My honest opinion: They make me feel better than anything i've tried so far. All you need is a combination of these medicines, you need your doctor to start thinking of giving you different medicine and consider lowering your blood pressure and anti-depressant. This is the only true therapy that will make you tired but not unable to work and will ease your pain.

Good luck, i feel your pain, i've been through the same, i've had different neurologyst & doctors. I hope your doctor considers changing medicine and not give you inflammatory.

Homeopathic Medicine Pt.1

Dr. Robin Falkov is licensed acupuncture physician with extensive training in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. She is a Diplomate of the National Board of Homeopathic Examiners and has worked with Homeopathy for over 20 years. She has had one of the earliest wholesale accounts with the well known, pioneering Life Extension Foundation in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. and has worked with nutritional supplements for over 25 years. She currently resides in New Mexico and consults with patients by telephone and the Internet. Falkov presented a Health Freedom Panel in which she was joined by three experts in alternative healthcare. Falkov expressed concern, which was echoed by the panelists, that pending FDA legislation could dramatically restrict consumers’ access to alternative treatments and choices. She also voiced opposition to a possible North American Union as well as Universal Health Care plans, which could reduce health care options under a centralized bureaucracy. Her website, healthfreedomrights.com, offers ways for people to have their viewpoints be heard. You can also write to the FDA at the address below. Burton Goldberg has spent over 30 years carefully researching every aspect of holistic medicine. What put Goldberg on the fast track to national prominence was the 1994 publication of his now best-selling Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide. Burton Goldberg is on a mission to reform conventional medicine and to help people reclaim their health. He has a mission to reform American medicine and to help Americans reclaim their health. He wants people to know that with alternative medicine, every disease is reversible. In trauma and emergency situations, mainstream medicine can work wonders. But in the vast majority of health conditions, alternative medicine has the treatments that can help. Richard Clement has practiced Medicine around the world for the past 25 years. He is an active member of the HPCUS (Regulation of Homeopathy in the USA) and of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. He has been consulting at the National Institute of Health on Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He was the Medical Director of Heel USA 1996-2000 and he formulated the Flu Plus®, Body Pure® and the BHI Cough Syrup. He also co-developed the line of Homeopathy for Arkopharma. An active lecturer, writer and teacher of Homeopathy, Dr. Clement he has a part time practice in Paris (France) and is the Medical Director of the Spa at the Hacienda San Gabriel de Las Palmas in Mexico. Dr. Clement teaches Homeopathy and Pharmacology at the ATOM school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and formulates new homeopathic combination remedies for the Homeopathic industry in the USA. He has developed several nutrition supplements (Arthroclem, Hepatika V 5, MintyGreens®, PranaGreens®, Pro Colos®) under the label Richard Clement Nutrition. Dr. Richard Clement spoke about the effectiveness of homeopathic treatments for individual imbalances. Author Burton Goldberg noted that homeopathy has become the #1 form of treatment in India, because it’s both inexpensive and effective. He also discussed the case of Dr. James Forsythe, who was indicted on charges of smuggling Human Growth Hormone. Forsythe was singled out because he was offering alternative treatments for cancer that authorities wanted to rein in, said Goldberg. Journalist Peter Barry Chowka believes that the politics of health care are vital, and he warned that the FDA could curtail freedom of choice, such that alternative treatments will gradually become more difficult or expensive to acquire. Falkov also touched on her work with light emitting diode therapy. A diode generator can be used at home and is helpful for injuries and soreness– it enhances cellular function and increases blood flow, she reported.
