It is a simplified program of diet and/or fasting with ingesting ULTRACLEAR powder twice or more daily, to really cleanse that over-worked liver of yours! Of course colonic irrigations in addition to this program work fabulously! This approach is particularly good for chronic illnesses as it works gently.
Are you asthmatic or suspect you are? Ask for a spirometry test. It is a very economical in-office test that is underused in the evaluation of asthmatics. If your asthma is severe this test should be repeated yearly.
The comprehensive stool analysis with parasite testing is a sure diagnosis for colon cancer risk, candida, dysbiosis, malabsorption syndrome, and bacteria and parasite analysis. Please enquire at the office for more information.
Are you taking cortisone? If so, you should be concerned about bone density. Ask about OSTEOPRIME - an excellent mineral supplement that gives you better bone protection than calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D alone.

Capsaicin in chili pepper and cayenne pepper has been proven, by Chinese investigators, to be protective against gastric ulcer development. It increases mucosal blood flow and acts as an anti-inflammatory and both these factors assist in healing and repair.

Women smokers are at a greater risk of reduced bone density, so be sure and take Osteoprime or a calcium and magnesium citrate combination, if you are still smoking.

Most young women don't exercise enough or get adequate amounts of calcium in their diet to protect against osteoporosis later in life. Women consider osteoporosis to be less serious than heart disease and breast cancer despite the facts that 50% of all menopausal women will be affected by osteoporosis, compared to 33% who will develop heart disease, and 11% who will be affected by breast cancer. Low calcium intake and lack of exercise are risk factors identified by most women, however other risk factors were not known by them ie: family history, loss of estrogen after menopause, menstrual irregularities, smoking, being caucasian, and history of prolonged bed rest.
Does your child suffer from asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis and laryngitis even in spite of naturopathic treatment? Second hand smoke is linked to chronic illnesses in children.
