Expansion of Our Clinic! In October, Jordana Gainsworth, CBP, CCP, joins us. She is the founder of Arizona BioEnergetic and Rejuvenation Medicine. She brings us an unparalleled opportunity to experience the future of medicine. The body is an electrical being, and in the right hands, the body's innate wisdom can direct its own healing. Every organ in the body operates with its own set of frequencies. Indeed, every cell of the body is subject to the activity of the ion pumps (sodium/potassium, calcium channel, etc.) which generate electrical activity. Jordana's practice uses various technologies that are widely used internationally including the Ondamed, SCENAR, GDV, Esogetic Colorpuncture, ZYTO - and more - to tap into the body's abilities to heal and rejuvenate itself. Jordana studied abroad with the pioneers of energy medicine and we are very fortunate she is bringing her practice in-house to work alongside with ours. As Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra and others have noted, energy medicine is the future of medicine. Our highly successful neurotherapy program BrainAdvantage™ will now include the addition of in-house qEEG and other forms of neurotherapy.Stephanie Reese, PhD, the Chief Science Officer of BrainAdvantage, is expanding her offices, adding more brain training stations in order to accommodate the increased need for the therapies. New music and rhythm based technologies developed by the BrainAdvantage team are being added to the current program, in addition to new, entertaining and effective ways of providing blood flow-based biofeedback to the brain. Nancy Wigton, MA, is joining us in October. She has used brain-based biofeedback for many years, and is an invited speaker at the Symposium of the International Society for Biofeedback and Research to be held in Denver, CO, in 2010. Nancy is BCIA certified in EEG and standard biofeedback modalities. She has considerable experience with multiple qEEG databases, which will allow us to provide more accurate assessment of brain wave function before and after treatments.  Professional Colon Hydrotherapy is another treatment we are adding; Amy Sanders, C.T., is joining us. We will be building appropriate space for this and should be ready to go by the end of October.We have acquired the west side of the building and are dedicating the entire space to the healing arts, incorporating new approaches to health at the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine. It is truly a holistic approach to treating the physical body, the energetic body, and the brain. Join us on this exciting journey! |

Swine Flu"We have no reason to believe the swine flu is anything more than a bad cold," said New York-based internist Dr. Erika Schwartz, medical director for Cinergy Health, a Florida-based health-insurance provider that enrolls about 40,000 families. She was quoted in the Tucson paper recently. A poll recently conducted by AP-GfK found a third of adults oppose swine flu vaccination and two-thirds of people are concerned the new vaccine might bring side effects. Several surveys found healthcare professionals are likely to refuse swine flu vaccination in fairly large numbers. A survey published in the August 25 issue of the British Medical Journal reveals that perhaps half of the doctors and nurses in public hospitals would refuse the H1N1 vaccine, due to concerns about side effects and doubts about its efficacy.Part of the concerns revolve around what is in the vaccines, including mercury and squalene; squalene has been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. You can read more in our new library article on Swine Flu. |

September is Cholesterol Education Month From the National Institutes of Health: "September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a good time to get your blood cholesterol checked and take steps to lower it if it is high. The higher your cholesterol level, the greater the risk ... Cholesterol lowering is important for everyone-younger, middle age, and older adults; women and men; and people with or without heart disease ... Saturated fat and cholesterol in the food you eat make your blood cholesterol level go up..."This press release is a classic example of why more and more Americans are beginning to distrust government agencies who blatantly promote the pharmaceutical industry. Cholesterol screening fails to identify 50 percent of the people who have heart attacks in the United States each year, because their total cholesterol is either normal or only moderately elevated. Cholesterol IS NOT the cause of heart disease. The body, in its wisdom, uses cholesterol as a band aid over arterial plaque and lesions, which generally result from inflammation and turbulence in the arteries. Cholesterol can be a marker, but it is not a cause of heart disease - unless you want to confuse people to sell statins. Med school 101: Most of the cholesterol in our bodies is made by the body; it does not come from what we eat. Humans simply need a lot of cholesterol. It is a potent anti-oxidant. It is a major player in athletic performance, regulating blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, regulating mineral balance, maintaining libido, and building muscle mass. It is also the raw material from which vitamin D, CoQ-10 and all the adrenal and sex hormones are made. Do you really want to artificially suppress the body's output of a natural hormone with drugs? Cholesterol forms 50 percent of the nervous system. A deficiency of cholesterol results in fatigue, obesity, nervous and emotional disturbances, digestive difficulties, impotence or inability to conceive and/or complete a pregnancy, menstrual syndromes and masculine traits in women, effeminate traits in men, blood pressure irregularities, fluid imbalances, nutritional deficits and imbalances, and more. Homocysteine levels are more valuable than cholesterol levels in providing an accurate assessment of cardiovascular health. So too is a measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP). This marker is produced by the liver as a response to injury or infection and is a sign of inflammation in the body. Chelation is an excellent tool to lessen the inflammation. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States and will likely continue to lead the list until those who send out press releases stop promoting the sale of drugs and begin to educate the public responsibly. I have two really good articles you can print out and share with your family: http://www.arizonaadvancedmedicine.com/articles/heart_disease.html http://www.arizonaadvancedmedicine.com/articles/cholesterol.html |

New in the Library We regularly post new articles in our website Library. For example, check out the new ad campaign launched by the New York City Health Department. Their target? Soda and other sugary drinks. Not what you expect.Another new article we in the process of adding to the library shares with you the latest thinking about chronic illness. The article reports on the 2009 LIA conference I attended. It's an eye opener on what is driving epidemic rates of Lyme, autism, autoimmune, and other diseases. |

National Health Care I just read an article in the September Atlantic Monthly magazine that makes a lot of sense to me about what went wrong in the health "care" system and what we need to look at if we truly want reform."Spending on health care, by families and by the government, is crowding out spending on almost everything else ... Education, public safety, environment, infrastructure-all other public priorities are being slowly devoured by the health-care beast ... How has a method of financing health care become synonymous with care itself? ... A guiding principle of any reform should be to put the consumer, not the insurer or the government, at the center of the system." As you know, I opted out of insurance because it does not encourage patient choice, nor does it encourage prevention and restoration of health. Many of you thanked me for sending around the notes from the Rep. John Shadegg meeting, so I think you'll find this essay thought-provoking. You can read it in its entirety at http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200909/health-care And kudos to Michael Pollen for putting the "health" in the health care discussion. He wrote an essay in the New York Times September 9th saying that "To listen to President Obama or to just about anyone else in the health care debate, you would think that the biggest problem with health care in America is the system itself - perverse incentives, inefficiencies, unnecessary tests and procedures, lack of competition, and greed. ... bringing health care costs under control ultimately depends on whether Washington can summon the political will to take on and reform a second, even more powerful industry: the food industry. The American way of eating has become the elephant in the room in the debate over health care." You can read it in its entirety at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/10/opinion/10pollan.html?_r=1 |
