The study reports the findings are concerning because Statin drugs are being advocated widely for use in a “preventative” way for young people at a high risk for cardiovascular disease.  This would open them up to a large range of possible injuries and musculoskeletal damage.  Many people cannot take statin drugs as a very common side effect is rhabdomyolysis, a painful condition where muscle tissue is destroyed.  This study suggests that less dramatic musculoskeletal complications are also connected to statin use weakening tissue.

Naturopathic medicine is very good at lowering blood lipids.  At Human Reconstruction we do a cutting edge lipid analysis called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Testing of lipid particles to determine which are high, and we can then give specific advice about how to lower them most effectively with dietary, lifestyle, and supplements.

My favorite “supplement” known to increase some HDL (good cholesterol) particles is red wine.  Others available are Red Rice Yeast, Fish Oil, and supplements which help to lower blood glucose, a contributing factor to high cholesterol.

If you are discouraged because you have tried some of the natural cholesterol medications before, and did not have success, you still may want to meet with one of our doctors, as they are better trained than vitamin store clerks, and can suggest the best way for you to lower your lipids based on evidence based medicine and clinical experience.

We know which nutrients and herbs are legal to use, and which are flagged by agencies.  The supplements we use are pharmaceutical grade, and the purest available, which are researched for efficacy, and are highly absorbable.

We use this therapy on the skin for wrinkles and age spots and along ligaments and tendons to repair joints, but it can also help to stimulate the stem cells in the scalp to regenerate hair follicles.

Anti-depressant medications alter your brain chemistry with drugs that also have an effect on a baby’s developing brain.

You can treat anxiety and depression naturally at Human Reconstruction.  We assess neurotransmitter levels, nutritional levels, stress and sleep as well as the rest of your clinical picture to create a natural supplement plan to help you feel better, and decrease your child’s chance of having autism.

While you are in the tub, we monitor vitals and temperature, and make sure you are comfortable and hydrated.

When you reach the desired temperature, we help transfer you out of the bath, wrap you in a cold sheet, cover you with wool blankets and let your body return to normal temperature.  This is a deeply relaxing time on the table and many people experience profound and healing emotional experiences or a deep and regenerative meditative state, hence this is a mind and body therapy.

All of our cancer patients are recommended to do a three week intensive where they have a bath daily to stimulate their immune systems with an artificial fever. We ran my blood labs during the therapy, and we could see higher circulating White Blood Cells, which are the cells that search out and kill infections and cancer. Our peat baths use peat from the Czech Republic, which detoxifies and nourishes the body.

Peat baths can help with the following:

• Arthritis
• Athletic Performance and Recovery
• Allergies
• Autoimmune diseases
• Cancer
• Chronic Fatigue
• Chronic Pain
• Chronic Stress
• Colds and Flu
• Detoxification
• Environmental Toxicity
• Fibromyalgia
• Headaches and Migraines
• Hepatitis
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Infertility
• Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s, IBS and Ulcerative Colitis
• Insomnia
• Lyme’s Disease
• Neurological Conditions
• Psoriasis
• Weight Loss

Balding happens in men and women for different, yet related reasons.  At Human Reconstruction, we determine the likely cause, and then we address that cause of balding, be it a hormonal imbalance, auto-immune problem, or due to toxicity levels in the body, possibly from too many hair dyes, heavy metals, solvents or other environmental reasons.

We offer many therapies, including balancing the hormones to promote healthy hair growth, stem cell and microneedling therapies to help regrow hair, as well as detoxification plans to help your body get back to normal, and help you get your full head of hair back.

Some companies have committed to having BPA free cans, Trader Joe’s, Eden Organics and Native Forest can be trusted to be BPA free, except for tomatoes, which are too acidic and should be bought in glass containers.  For a more extensive list visit:  http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/7-companies-you-can-trust-to-use-bpa-free-cans.html

Another way to limit your exposure is to NEVER microwave anything in plastic.  Get glass food containers, and better yet, don’t microwave, as it makes healthy fats unhealthy.

Decline receipts at major retailers who use thermo-sensitive paper to print.  Don’t give your children receipts to hold, or play with, as BPA can be absorbed through the skin.

If you have toxic exposures you want to protect your body from, or would like more information on detoxification call 916.241.9325 now to make an appointment.
