Elizabeth attended the Institute for Functional Medicine Symposium “Year of the Heart” in late May and early June. This is the “cutting edge” information on all aspects of heart and vascular disease. IFM’s president is Dr. Mark Hyman author of “The Blood Sugar Solution”  and Dr.Mark Houston author of “What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Heart Disease” spoke on the connection between heart disease and metabolic syndrome and the surprising real underlying causes.

IHC is providing advanced testing and holistic treatment with this functional medicine approach to finding and treating the causes of metabolic syndrome.
A key component of changing lifestyle and treating metabolic syndrome is working with a supportive community of others. Please let us know if you are interested in helping to form and join and heatlhy living group at IHC.

Are allergies making you miserable? End allergies and asthma the easy way! Allergy Easy’s oral drops work faster than allergy shots and they are safer. While over-the-counter or medication prescribed by your doctor may put a temporary stop to allergy symptoms, they are a short-term fix. The real solution is to treat the root of the problem through a process known as desensitization. While over-the-counter or medication prescribed by your doctor may put a temporary stop to allergy symptoms, they are a short-term fix. The real solution is to treat the root of the problem through a process known as desensitization.

Desensitization teaches your body not to overreact to dusts, molds, pets, and other allergens in the air. Allergies result when your body perceives these otherwise harmless things as threats and rallies it’s defenses against them.

Once you decided you’re ready for the Allergy Solution, getting started is as easy as pie.

1. Get a brief allergy test
   
2. Take your allergy drops home
   
3. Relief at last!

Just call our office if you have more questions or would like to schedule an appointment to come in to be tested or see myallergyeasy.com or betterhealthusa.com. The allergy test is offered by Immunolabs and Allergy Solutions.

We have reports from several patients that they have never had such good relief from allergies from any other medication or injection!!

We use several tests for diagnosis of Lyme disease: 1) the Lyme Western Blot IGG and IGM, 2) a more sensitive Western blot with more bands tested from Igenix Lab, and also 3) the Bowen test, which is still being researched.

We have recently switched from IGenes Laboratory to Stony Brook Lyme Disease Laboratory in Stony Brook, New York.  Stony Brook detects IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies and they also have the ability to report CDC non-specific bands if requested.  Stony Brook is now billing Medicare and Medicaid.

• For additional information at the SpiroStat testing for Spirochetes see Spirostat.
• A good resource on Lyme disease recommended by many of our patients is  Lymenet.
• For more information on my Lyme Immune ID please look at Neuroscience.

We now have a contract with Doctor’s Choice, a company that allows us to extend a sizable discount on out of pocket labs. These labs are drawn in our office and sent to Quest Diagnostics via a national account. Payment for these labs must be prepaid and are due in our office the day of draw. Please call our office for more information.
