Detailed Patient Services

Nutrition

nutritionist specifically educated in optimum less-polluted nutrition. 

Immunotherapy

Nutrition
Our

Chemical Depuration Program (Combining Heat Depuration Chambers and Physical Therapy)
This outpatient means of treating toxic exposures is a six-day-per-week, physician-supervised program consisting of dry heat, exercise, massage, vitamin and mineral replacement, administration of xenobiotic binding substances and monitoring of toxin levels in blood and/or fat tissue.

Oxygen Therapy
A specialized technique of administering pure oxygen which invigorates the micro circulation and allows for better tissue oxygenation. This process is especially helpful for treating hardening of the arteries and blood vessel spasms.

Nutrient Therapy
This therapeutic intravenous process replenishes vital nutrients that are essential for the successful function of immune and detoxification mechanisms.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a sophisticated method of individualizing small doses of medicines in order to initiate a healing response. We have a licensed homeopath on staff to address patient needs appropriate to this type of healthcare.

Psychological Support Services
Consultant psychologists and family therapists offer individual and group therapy services to patients. Periodic EHC-D support groups are also available.

Energy Balancing
Balancing deals with the energy that flows through and energizes the body's organs and tissues. In practice when influencing energy,  bi-polar contact is used (two contact points touched on the patient's body simultaneously, a positive and negative contact, using hands, fingers or some combination of the two).
