Many people do not realize the profound difference between treating symptoms with conventional medicine and getting to the underlying causes of those symptoms with Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), also known as Holistic health care.

In order to effectively diagnose and treat a parasite there are a number of things needed.  The first thing discussed in this video that is needed to diagnose and treat parasites is to get the static out of the nervous system.  There are a number of ways that this can be done.  For example, there may be an energetic / chemical imbalance that can be improved upon with homeopathy; or there may be bones that are out of alignment that are interfering with nerves and those nerves would need to be re-aligned; or there may be an emotional imbalance that needs to be addressed.

Hot Flashes and night sweats are thyroid symptoms. The thyroid gland regulates body temperature. The adrenal glands use a hormone called aldosterone, a mineral corticoid, that regulates sodium and potassium levels in the blood stream. Sodium and potassium are also very important in order to regulate blood pressure. The renin / angiotensin system is dependent upon aldosterone. Angiotensin I is converted to Angiotensin II with the substance called renin in the distal renal tubules of the kidneys. This process can only take place when aldosterone are present in the right levels in the blood stream. This is the main system responsible for normal healthy blood pressure. Hot flashes and night sweats are a result of both thyroid and adrenal dysfunction.

symptoms of a major detoxification? Most of what we hear are rumors and philosophical opinions. As a San Rafael Functional Medicine Doctor, I would like to set the record straight on the subject of detoxification and healing. There is just too much confusion out there and we need to cut through all of the confusion and create some clarity. What is the science behind detoxification? How do you know whether or not the detoxification you are experiencing is healthy or unhealthy? Detoxification signs and symptoms may include skin rash, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches and a number of other unpleasantries.

The endocrine system (hormonal system) is like an orchestra of players all playing in tune. If just one of the players in the orchestra plays out of tune, then the entire orchestra sounds terrible. Alternately, if we just listen to one or two of the players that are excellent and have everyone else be quite and take a break then the one or two excellent players sound great.

The renin angiotensin system controls blood pressure through the sodium / potassium pump.  Without aldosterone, this renin angiotensin system that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II will not work properly.  Remember that much of the absorption of calcium and sodium and potassium in the body does happen in the tubules of the kidneys.  The colon is another important place for mineral absorption that is often overlooked.  Weak adrenal glands will dramatically compromise mineral absorption at every level.  Aldosterone is the main mineral corticoid coming from the adrenal cortex

One day when I was at the gym lifting weights I tore 90% of my pec major muscle on the right and had to get it surgically repaired.  A few years later I tore the other pectoralis major muscle on the opposite side of my body.  When I began to study Professional Applied Kinesiology I later learned that the pectoralis major muscles are related to the liver.  The Acutane had caused me to have an extremely toxic liver.  Because I was feeling so poorly, I went to the Medical Doctor to have a blood lab done and the blood lab revealed that my thyroid hormone levels for TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) were more than 4 times normal.  I was suffering from hypothyroidism.  

Mineral deficiencies have become rampant in the modern world. Over the last 3000 years or so, many of the minerals have washed down into the sea. Lots of people are deficient in both iodine and zinc. Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormone and zinc is needed in order to taste properly, make stomach acid, smell, have a properly functioning hormonal system and hundreds of physiological functions.
