Treatable Conditions

1. Allergy/Environmental Desensitization

Through a process of neuromuscular testing (NMT or applied kinesiology) we identify your unique constellation of sensitivities that are affecting your health. These may include food, environmental substances, hormones even your own organs and emotions. NMT has been shown, in research, to be 92% effective in comparison to traditional allergy testing such as the RAST test.

After identifying the causative allergens, we then use para-spinal massage to influence the neural memory of the allergen combined with acupressure massage or acupuncture . This reduces the true cause of allergies which is the brains inappropriate response to the substance. The person can then return to consuming or being exposed to the substance without any ill effects. It is comfortable and non-invasive.

In our clinic we have seen this fabulous process relieve a variety of conditions such as seasonal allergies and hay fever and food allergies (such as egg, milk and grains) . We have also seen incredible benefit for conditions not necessarily associated with allergies such as migraines, asthma, eczema, Fybromyalgia, fatigue and morning sickness.

2. Functional Endocrinology and Blood Chemistry Analysis

New evolving research tells us what we have known for years. Hormone imbalances and abnormal functional blood chemistry values can lead to a variety of serious diseases in both men and women.

Even though we see hormone imbalances in men which can cause depression, anxiety, fatigue and body pain and prostate enlargement, it is more common for women to visit our clinic for hormone related conditions. Today, "xenobiotics" from environmental and pharmaceutical toxins such as plastics, pesticides, processed food additives and oral contraceptives have created dangerous imbalances in hormones. Emotional and physical stress has further produced a downward spiral in many important protective hormones such as cortisol and progesterone. These conditions have led to major health issues such as PMS, breast and prostate cancer, heart disease, fatigue and more.

Because normal laboratory ranges in blood chemistry are so broad, normal interpretation of lab results usually only indicate far progressed disease. Also, because doctors are continually squeezed by their HMO's, many routine tests are no longer performed. Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis involves looking at a more narrow window of routine blood work to find probabilities of evolving imbalances such as insulin resistance, iron deficiencies, adrenal fatigue, and dehydration.

Everyone can benefit from regular testing and monitoring using saliva, traditional bloodwork and infrared thermography. Natural treatments can then bring balance and reduce risks of future chronic conditions whether it be infertility, chronic fatigue or cancer.

Regular testing and monitoring using saliva and infrared thermography followed by natural treatments can bring balance and reduce risks of future chronic conditions whether it be infertility, Chronic Fatigue or cancer.
3. Natural Family Medicine

The root of our practice is in Integrated Chinese Medicine, the oldest and most researched natural medicine in the world. Natural medicine is the treatment used by some 80% of the worlds population for the remediation of acute to chronic conditions from the common cold to cancer At Sophia Natural Health Center we use state of the art testing such as digital infrared thermography ,electrodermal screening or nutritional testing with blood, urine or saliva.. We then may design a treatment using acupuncture, supplementation or herbal medicine, dietary therapy, detoxification or therapeutic exercises to help you heal you body naturally without the side effects of conventional medications. The World Health Organization has identified over 100 conditions treated by Chinese Medicine and they include:

In addition, these are 25 commonly treated conditions with acupuncture (if any are not listed, please contact me for a free phone consultation)

4. Disease Prevention and Wellness Screenings

Many of today's modern diseases are preventable, if the early warning signs are addressed. While this is not necessarily a condition, it is important to know that many people come to Sophia to prevent disease not just treat it. We have developed many methods of looking at early signals by the body that an imbalance is occurring. Here are some of the methods:

Medical Infrared Thermography

• Use of an infrared camera to "see" and "measure" what we call metabolism, thermoregulation or thermal energy emitted from the body.
• Reveals a fascinating and reliable pattern of thermal activity that discloses a silent warning.
• Thermal patterns may indicate such conditions as: undiagnosed allergies, carotid artery inflammation, immune or hormonal dysfunction, potential cancer risk, early stage arthritis . See our detailed page called Thermography.

LSA-Limbic (Bioenergetic) Stress Assessment
• Electrically analyzes the body response to stimulus that threatens equilibrium & recommends treatments to fit individual needs.
• Supports your body's natural ability to heal; guided by clinical research for over 60 years.

Functional Hormone, Blood Chemistry and Nutritional Analysis

• Cutting edge laboratory tests that assess specific hormonal and nutritional balance of the body.
• Identifies the individualized nutritional protocols that will help most to restore and maintain hormone balance and proper body function.
