Alternative Health - Functional Medicine
Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth
When treating a patient we strive to provide more than just rapid relief of your immediate symptoms. We focus on your overall health examining nutritional, metabolic, immune, hormonal, structural, and any toxicological factors in which you may be involved. Through a personal and comprehensive examination, we try to get to the source of your condition enabling you to restore your health. We also look at emotional and psychological factors as these create the background which shapes every aspect of your health and well-being.
Most conditions whether it involves heart disease, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, headaches, chronic infections, allergies, elevated cholesterol, depression, anxiety, PMS, menopause, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. are manageable if the underlying causes are more fully understood. That doesn’t mean we only use the latest fad or herb to cover up your symptoms. Rather, we apply scientific principles in a practical and logical way to solve your medical needs.
That means asking the right questions, careful listening, complete examinations of your physical and biochemical state and understanding how you function within your own environment. If necessary, select labs that identify your nutritional needs, allergies, hormonal status, metabolic efficiency, etc. can be performed. When it is all put together, a practical and personalized plan will be agreed upon that is designed to not only get rid of symptoms you don’t have to live with but also create a healthier, happier, more vital you.

Thank you so much for this very relevant information. I’m leaving my psychiatrist of 12years in order to find a doc near me who practices functional medicine.

This is a good video. I like it very much. Aslo a site called pubspa has many interesting vidoes, useful information and knowldge.

This is what …
This is what everyone needs to realize that
our western medicine only treats the symptoms
but does not deal with the real problem to begin with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the problem
while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

A great video. 5 Stars. People need to start taking control of their own health by learning more about natural or “alternative” medicine.

would you then side with the insurance companies who refuse pharmaceutical treatments? For prescriptions meds, it seems pharmaceutical and insurance companies would be at odds with each other.

The best thing I’ve found for the physical side of depression is the Omeaga-3 EPA, plus lots of therapy for the other parts.

It would be very ground-breaking to the average MD, who knows very little about the role of nutrition in maintaining health.

unfortunately, it …
unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

Makes sense. If …
Makes sense. If only there was a functional medicine lobby to rival the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults for 5 years and saw first hand the chemical restraint used to control their undesired behaviors. It’s pretty sad. So many problems in our country, it’s overwhelming at times.

You can measure …
You can measure certain neurotransmitter levels in the blood and urine, however, 1) The amount in the blood or urine doesn’t tell you the amount in the brain. 2) There is no standard for an ideal level of neurotransmitters 3) blood and urine levels of neurotransmitters will vary dramatically from hour to hour. There is no definitive scientific study which says “depression is caused by this specific neurotransmitter level being below or above a specific level.”

I searched “measuring neurotransmitter levels” and found reference to measuring urinary levels.

this guy has only limited training in medicine, but he seems to claim great knowledge on the subject. all he’s talking about is what he knows about nutrition. doesn’t seem ground-breaking to me, but i have a BS in nutrition so maybe it is new to someone else.

Maybe there are actually ways to measure them. What does he say?

I agree with your philosophy 100% We don’t have Health Care in America..we have Sick Care. You are the health care of the future.

Interesting subject. I’m looking forward to finishing this video later, but I just had to say that I’ve never seen someone with more letters after their name than Vincent Bellonzi

Yep you do. The best way to eat veggies, fruit and nuts is uncooked. Cooking especially destroys the enzyme content. Certain vegetables I don’t like eating raw so I cook them just a little bit at low heat.

Also, I’d be interested to know what he thinks and what Natalie thinks about eating raw vegetables vs cooking them. That is, is it true that you get better nutrition depending on how you prepare them? I prefer my broccoli cooked, I wonder if I lose any nutrition by boiling it?

AFAIK, it is not …
AFAIK, it is not possible to measure neurotransmitters in a way that would let someone know whether they were “balanced” or not. That is, detecting the presence of, say, serotonin in the blood is not the same as knowing whether it is in the “right” “balance” in the body and brain. Good video on many other points, though.
