What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been used in Asia for over 2000 years. With each dynasty, the court physicians tried to define it in different ways and tried to explain it with the use of drawings and symbols. Acupuncture fell out of favor in China between 1930 and 1970 due to lack of scientific evidence. Then there was a resurgence as medical and scientific evidence became imperative for all medical treatment in China. Many forms of acupuncture exist but since the 1980's Chinese acupuncture is in the widest use. It is included with all hospital based care in mainland China. Consequently, since the 1970's thousands of well designed studies have been published in Chinese medical journals.

We now understand acupuncture to be a whole medical system that utilizes the insertion of sterile disposable needles into organized pathways or into painful points on the body. The insertion of the needle alerts nerves and the white blood cell system which then triggers an elaborate system of proteins that communicate with the brain which then releases endorphins and neurotransmitters. The orderly orchestration of this is a combination of the acupuncture skills and the innate ability of the human body to respond. The end result is pain reduction, better circulation, and symptom elimination.

 

What is Biopuncture?

Biopuncture is a safe, effective and gentle treatment for most conditions. It consists of painless injections of FDA approved liquids that contain diluted natural substances. These treatments work by balancing immune factors called helper T cells. These cells modulate physiological reactions to toxins in our bodies. Toxins can come from outside the body or from faulty metabolic processes in our body. These create sickness! The natural medicines in these injections eliminate toxic loads and restore the immune system and your body to a balanced, healthy state. This form of medicine has been used in Europe for over 50 years.

 

What is Medical herbalism?

Herbalism is the use of plants, fungal and bee products that have a scientific basis. Herbs or plants with biochemical effects have been used throughout time. Much of our information about medicinal plants have come down through traditional cultures. Opium, aspirin, digitalis, and quinine are some of the earliest herbal remedies. The World Health Organization estimates that 80 percent of the world's population presently use herbal medicines for some aspect of primary health care. Currently 25% of moderndrugs used in the United States have been derived from plants.

Here at Medical Therapeutics, we utilize the vast knowledge of Chinese formulas, single herbal prescriptions and combination formulas that are all made from herbs grown here in the USA.

Our goal is to help you resist disease and provide nutritional and immunological support that pharmaceuticals lack.

 

What is Nutrition?

Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet.

Necessary nutrients are provided in the form of food and supplements to support life.

At Medical Therapeutics we go in depth to understand your lifestyle and personal palatability (your likes and dislikes) when we design a balanced food intake for you.

Do you have a shelf full of unused vitamins? Bring them in and we will streamline your intake. Many vitamins are useless and wasteful. We will find the simplest solution for your individual needs.

 

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a whole medical system that was first purposed by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. This system works on the information that "like cures like". Homeopathy is the art and the science of healing the sick by using substances capable of causing the same symptoms, syndromes and conditions when administered to healthy people. For example, if you are stung by a bee, a remedy prepared by diluted bee sting will stimulate the body to heal itself from the red itchy bump that resulted from the sting.

Any substance may be considered a homeopathic medicine if it has known "homeopathic provings" and/or known effects which mimic the symptoms, syndromes or conditions which it is administered to treat, and is manufactured according to the specifications of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). Official homeopathic drugs are those that have been monographed and accepted for inclusion in the HPUS. The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States began compiling provings in 1897. Prior to that Homeopathy was widely used during the Civil War.

Many people use homeopathy for simple ailments. The British Royals use homeopathy and it is in general use in Europe and India. Many self-limiting conditions may be self medicated, but for other conditions a health care provider is advised.

Homeopathy is the second most widely used medicinal system in the world and it has been used safely and effectively for over 200 years. Unlike allopathic medicines, which suppress symptoms rather than curing, homeopathy supports the natural curative mechanisms within the body. In the United States over 90% of homeopathic medicines are available over the counter with costs less than the average co-pay for a pharmaceutical drug, less than $10!

"The low cost of the medications and the rarity of adverse reactions make it (homeopathy) preferable, in most cases, to modern drugs. Furthermore, because the medicines are inexpensive, safe, and easy to use, individuals can learn to handle many common illnesses for which people regularly seek medical help," says William Shevin MD As an experienced practitioner, Mary Lee Bergman utilizes concise computer programs that collate your constellation of symptoms and match them with the myriad of proving symptoms found in the natural substances that have been deemed useful by the FDA.

Homeopathic remedies are made by diluting and shaking plants, animal or minerals. There are administered in drops, sugar pellets or by injection. The tiny amounts of materials alert the immune system which triggers appropriate cellular or humoral responses to alleviate your condition.

 

What are Aesthetics?

There was a time when your skin radiated youthful vitality, health, and beauty. This was before aging, loss of collagen, wrinkles, sun, damage, stress, and toxins took their toll.
