Do you have Urinary Incontinence or Painful Intercourse?

Check out our new technique to help with pelvic issues in both men and women.

This includes dribbling, urinary urgency and sexual dysfunction.

There is a new injection technique that helps men or women with incontinence issues and helps women with painful intercourse.

Women can have these issues from having children or having gynecological surgery.

Men also can have incontinence from surgeries such as those related to prostate cancer.

This technique takes less than 30 minutes in the office. We recommend a series of 4 injections over a 4 week period.

Non-Healing Joint Injuries and a New Innovative Technique

Have you been waiting for stem cells to help those non-healing injuries to your joints? We may have something better here in Boise!

I have received training in the past month to be able to inject PRC (platelet rich clot) into a joint to enhance healing.

This PRC is produced through a process in the clinic using your own blood to create growth factors to act like a stem cell transplant.

There are no foreign materials involved, and the clot creates a long term slow release of these healing growth factors.

This technique is being used by progressive orthopedic surgeons and is a more affordable option to stem cell transplants for non-healing orthopedic problems.

Real Affordable Health Care?

I was invited to a meeting to understand a new health care co-op – O’Na Health Care. It is a Native American Health Care Plan. You do not need to be a Native American to participate.

For legal reasons:

O’Na Health Care cannot be referred to as a medical insurance plan.
O’Na Care must be applied for.

The type of client that they want to help are people interested in natural health methods and in taking responsibility for personal health.

In this system, reimbursement will be allowed for alternative healing methods.

The deductible is $5,000 for a single person, $10,000 for a family.
Your monthly premium may be as low as half of what you are currently paying.
Dependent children up to age 26 can be covered on the parent’s policy.
This plan is an opt-out for Obama-care, and can take the place of medical insurance.

I’m considering signing up as a provider of these plans and I like to know what you think.

Please email me with your opinion at O’Na Health Care – response

Lavado can prevent Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is predicted to affect nearly 16 million Americans by 2050. Researchers are hopeful that cocoa extract could be a possible preventative treatment.

Lavado, an extract from cocoa, may reduce or block damage to nerve pathways in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, thus reducing symptoms such as cognitive decline.

Researchers have long known that cocoa and dark chocolate have substantial health benefits, due to their sky-high content of polyphenols. In the past, studies have focused mainly on the general health-promoting and protective aspects of cocoa’s various antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.

Now, a new animal study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published in the June 2014 issue of Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease explores ways in which cocoa works at the molecular and cellular level to reduce damage to nerve pathways in Alzheimer’s disease. As nerve pathway damage can be seen long before patients even develop symptoms, there is hope that cocoa polyphenols may be able to help prevent the disease’s onset.

According to the researchers, lavado cocoa extract could pave the way for new treatments, but further studies are needed to better understand how the extract works in the human brain. NaturalHealth365

Ebola – from the doctor

Ebola has spread to 4 countries. From the CDC Ebola response roadmap: As of Sept 24 the total number of probable, confirmed and suspected cases in the current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa was 6263 with 2917 deaths. There may be under-reporting of the ill and dead because the health care system has broken down.

There is fear of the people that if they go to clinics or hospitals, they will catch the disease. There is fear from health care workers that they will be infected from their patients. Families are encouraged to care for their sick relatives at home, which could lead to an under-reporting of the ill/dead. Liberia just completed a mandatory quarantine for 3 days in which time 30,000 health workers health care workers went door to door to assess the extent of the epidemic. Nonetheless, the authorities which have finally quarantined cities, have not curtailed air traffic in these countries.

The CDC claims Ebola is not currently an airborne disease among humans. There was an experiment in 2012 where piglets were infected with Ebola and put in wire cages next to monkeys and 2 monkeys were infected. There was no physical contact between these species. However, this experiment may not apply to humans…yet the ARMY’s public research documents make such a clear case that the Ebola airborne risk is here and now.

Ebola is an unusual virus in that it can be transmitted before the person feels ill. The infection’s symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle aches, and headaches. All these symptoms could be confused with the flu in the beginning stages. The incubation period could range from 2 to 21 days. This could give ample time for […]

We CAN Treat Pain!

Imagine being virtually pain-free—without cortisone, surgery, or prescription drugs. It doesn’t matter if you injured your knee from dancing all night, or your wrists hurt from typing on a computer. Prolozone Therapy™ is a safe, natural, and often permanent treatment.

It’s an injection of vitamins and oxygen in and around ligaments, increasing the cellular repair activity—providing the building blocks necessary to heal your joints.

Prolozone uses procaine injections and ozone to restore injured nerves and tissues. Procaine is very healing to the tissue and acts like an anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic and can block abnormal reflexes that cause pain.

This re-establishes the normal electrical conduction coursing through the body. Ozone is the most powerful form of oxygen in the universe, and has powerful effects in bringing oxygen to damaged body areas injured and starved for oxygen.

A Prolozone treatment can aid most types of pain, including headaches, back pain (including degenerated or herniated discs), sciatica, whiplash, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, rotator cuff, arthritis, tendonitis, chronic pelvic pain, sinusitis, asthma and many other conditions.

Because Prolozone treatments also result in cartilage regeneration, the technique is also remarkably effective even for severe cases of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

What Are Interference Fields and Can We Treat Them?

What does a hysterectomy scar have to do with an irritable bladder? What does a prostate ailment have to do with the front teeth?

Sometimes, people can have injuries or surgeries or infections or foreign bodies which can disturb the electrical system causing interference fields. The electrical system of the body relays information up and down the body, and the Chinese called these meridians. Injured tissue can send faulty information to areas away from the original injury. For example, one lady in our practice had a hysterectomy over 20 years ago, and has recently developed an “busy bladder”. When her surgical incision was treated with a simple, fast injection, she had almost complete resolution of her symptoms.

Procaine is the substance injected into the injured tissues. It is a very safe, fast-acting anesthetic, which breaks down into B vitamin complexes, and has pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine like properties. Very few complications occur from the use of this medication.

Another example of interference field neurotherapy was one gentleman’s chronic prostate problems. The prostate frequently connects with the front teeth, and the ailment was traced to his upper front teeth. I recommended he go to the dentist. The dentist examined him, and probed the area of concern and found a pus pocket. When it was fully drained, his prostate ailment was resolved.

Hyperbaric oxygen chamber has its first birthday!

It has been a year since the hyperbaric chamber arrived at Metta Health Care.

Since then, we have successfully treated a variety of conditions, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, wounds, fatigue and crush injuries.

I have been privileged to watch the progress of Kim Cherry, who has the devastating diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) which is a progressive neurologic disease. Kim has done ozone and hyperbaric oxygen therapies several times a week for about 18 months. Kim has had an excellent recovery for a disease that offers nothing but a death sentence.

I can attest to his progress. You may want to visit his website ALS Winners – The Road to Recovery.

Hyperbarics can also be used for traumatic brain injuries (motor vehicle accidents, football injuries, etc), cerebral palsy, autism, incomplete spinal cord injuries and cardiac disease. Please get the word out about hyperbarics to your friends and family. It offers hope where sometimes there is none.

Here is what our patients are saying about hyperbarics:
