Our Services

Pediatric and Family practice primary care and acute care

Pediatric and Family practice primary care and acute care- We treat adults and children from a holistic perspective utilizing nutritional science, nursing science, western medicine, nutriceuticals, pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, and psychotherapy. We use the modality that is necessary for the presenting condition based on our experience.

Acupuncture

We use this 2,000 year-old therapy for treatment of pain, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, inflammatory conditions, and more. Acupuncture is performed by a licensed acupuncturist or Acupuncture Physician.

Herbal Medicine

We blend Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern nutritional science to create formulas specific for different health condition. Our herbal apothecary offers over 100 different herbs for various conditions. All our herbs are shipped from companies that test for heavy metals and pesticides and are then identified in our office and ground for cooking as a tea or ready for extraction.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes by increasing the circulating oxygen. This is done with increased atmospheric pressure on the body and increased percentage of respiratory oxygen.

Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body by red blood cells with a tiny amount also dissolved in plasma, the liquid portion of the blood. When oxygen is delivered under pressure much greater amounts of oxygen are dissolved in plasma where it is more readily available for transfer to all of the tissues and fluids in the body, such as the central nervous system fluid, the lymphatic system, connective tissue, all solid organs, and bone. In the smallest blood vessels, plasma blood flow carries the increased oxygen to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, adequate oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues, especially those where healing is delayed or diminished. Once sufficient oxygen is delivered to these damaged tissues, the oxygen reduces swelling. This greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria and stimulates new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.

What Conditions Does HBOT Treat?

Nutritional Counseling

We provide nutritional counseling from an integrative approach of modern nutritional science and ancient Chinese Medical Macrobiotics. This combination looks at food from the micro nutrient and biochemical perspective as well as the macro perspective of warming/cooling and yin/yang.

Psychotherapy

We provide psychotherapy from a patient-centered approach. The goal is to help our patients move past the particular mindset that is tied to distress into a mindset that is free of distress.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated blood sample that contains high levels of platelets, a critical component of the wound healing process. Platelets contain growth factors that are responsible for stimulating tissue generation and repair. Growth factors derived from platelets are responsible for soft tissue repair, bone regeneration, development of new blood vessels, and stimulation of the wound healing process. Harvest PRP delivers a concentration of autologous platelets and growth factors that is roughly 4-6 times greater than that found in whole blood. Unlike other products, it delivers a broad range of growth factors in the proper concentration and ratios to help optimize conditions for healing. Clinical studies have shown that application of PRP can help reduce bleeding, minimize pain, reduce infection rates, and optimize overall healing. (http://www.harvesttech.com/harvest-prp)

Autologous stem cell concentration therapy- We utilize the PRP protocol listed above with 3 days of stem cell mobilization to allow for greater than 6 million stem cells in the final solution. Stem cell levels are monitored utilizing flow cytometry in-office at Shalem Healing with a FACS Calibur flow cytometer.

LDA / LDI - immunotherapy

LDA (short for "low dose allergens", or ultra low dose enzyme activated immunotherapy) is a method of immunotherapy enhanced by a minute dose of the enzyme, beta glucuronidase (dose is 10-13). The beta glucuronidase activates extremely miniscule doses of various allergens (10-6 to 10-17) and stimulates the production of T-suppressor cells, now called T Regulator (T Reg) cells. These cells actively "switch off" helper cells that are erroneously causing patients to be ill by misidentifying normal substances in the body to be allergens. T-cells may live for long periods of time in the bloodstream, so LDA needs to be administered only every 2 months at first, and then less often as time passes, generally with one to three tiny (1/20 c.c.) intradermal (in the first layer of skin) injections on the inner aspect of the forearm. Low-dose immunotherapy is an expanded application of LDA treatment for the resolution of allergies and select autoimmune disorders.
