Getting healthy requires us to know the health basics.  It is best to avoid excessive amounts of wheat, dairy, corn, soy or processed sugar because those things just aren’t all that healthy.  It is also important to get plenty of fresh air with Oxygen in it and to drink plenty of health spring water.  ——-Crystal Geyser, Aqua Panna, Simply Sedona Arizona Spring Water.

Wheat – Gluteomorphins

Dairy – Casomorphins

Corn – Dermatitis, Diarrhea, Depression, Dementia…..  DEATH

Soy – Cancer, sterility

Process Sugar – leads to chronic diseases like those alluded to below.

A quick recipe is suggested and how well to cook the food.  Dr. Skolnikoff even talks about how to minimize deconforming the proteins and how to avoid bacteria and parasites.  It is a great visual.

The doctor suggests that it is best to avoid wearing face masks for many reasons.  One reason is that the facemask prevents the normal healthy flow of air into and out of the lungs.  The other reason is that the holes in the face mask are not small enough to block viruses from getting into the mask so if that is the intended purpose of the mask, it would not make any common sense to wear the mask for that reason.  Watch the entire video in order to learn more about the health basics.

Hormone-imbalances, Diabetes Type 1, Diabetes Type 2, Grave’s Disease, Celiac’s Disease, Scleroderma, Hashimoto’s, Rheumatoid arthritis and a number of other diseases are all discussed in superficial detail.

Protein – comes from the latin word “Proteus” which means “of utmost importance.”

Sun – Improves your health.

A healthy liver is very important.

Healthy Vitamin D metabolism is necessary for healthy bones, joints, ligaments.  Vitamin D is primarily metabolized in the liver and kidneys.

San Rafael Chiropractor and Thyroid Expert Explains how to Treat Parasites https://triadofhealth.net/san-rafael-chiropractor-and-thyroid-expert-explains-how-to-treat-parasites https://triadofhealth.net/san-rafael-chiropractor-and-thyroid-expert-explains-how-to-treat-parasites#respond Wed, 08 May 2019 14:27:30 +0000 http://dgm.78f.mywebsitetransfer.com/wordpress/?p=121
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.

Parasites can be anywhere in the body and nearly anything can cause the parasite to persist in the body.  For example, the parasite could be in the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, brain, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, skin, muscle, fatty tissue, blood or another organ or gland or in the gums or just about anywhere in the body.  So how do you figure out where the parasite is?  You have to ask.  You have to ask the patient’s body.

Thoughts are very powerful and they can have a dramatic effect on parasites.  We can say that this is a mental / emotional cause of parasites.

Dr. Skolnikoff explains that John Diamond M.D.’s idea of “The Body Doesn’t Lie” may not necessarily be true.  He goes on to say that the body does indeed lie.  It is the Master Practitioner who is able to discover whether the body is lying or not lying.  The most effective way to determine if the body is lying or not is to balance the body well enough to establish clear communication with that person’s body on a very deep level.  The more clear the communication (that allows for an accurate diagnosis and treatment), the more effective the treatment.

In this video below we can learn quite a bit about the art and science of chiropractic.  Chiropractic is based upon the sound sciences of human anatomy, functional anatomy and biomechanics, neurology, biochemistry, nutrition, physiology, histology, immunology and all of the basic sciences.  These are the same basic sciences taught in medical school.

The brain can be thought of as a master biocomputer.  Many of the messages that come from and go to our nerves are processed by the brain and spinal cord.  Bones in the spine that are out of alignment can have a dramatic effect on our nervous system.  The messages that come from and go to our nerves can become mixed up and jumbled due to the bones that are out of alignment.  Chiropractors call the bones that are out of alignment “subluxations.”

Dr. Skolnikoff’s Healing Journey – San Rafael, California https://triadofhealth.net/dr-skolnikoffs-healing-journey-san-rafael-california https://triadofhealth.net/dr-skolnikoffs-healing-journey-san-rafael-california#respond Sun, 19 Aug 2018 22:58:16 +0000 https://triadofhealth.net/?p=2006

Here is something you may not know about me.  I also want to say that what I am about to say changed the course of my life, in fact, it is the story of my life.  It is also why I am all about paying it forward to the people of Marin County.  I was not always the healthiest person.  I was a very shy/introverted child growing up.  I rarely went out and had very few friends.  I was completely oblivious as to what good health was, despite having a father who was a psychiatrist and a mother who was an anthropologist and had studied psychology in college.  My main food staples were pizza, submarine sandwiches, burritos, pasta and sushi.  I loved spicy food such as Indian food, Mexican food and Thai food and such.  (I later learned that this was due to a zinc deficiency.  A zinc deficiency leads to an inability to taste one’s foods that leads us to crave spicy, sweet, sour and salty foods.

In my mid to late teens I developed severe acne.  I didn’t know what to do.  I wanted to go on a few dates like other people my age but I had severe cystic acne and it was really embarrassing.  Sometimes it looked as though I had a third or even a fourth eye.  Like most teens at the time, I tried the main products available on the market such as benzyl peroxide and strydex pads (salicylic acetate). These products made my skin worse even though they helped for the first couple days or weeks that I used them. Since both of my parents were in academic professions they sent me to a dermatologist.  The dermatologist continued with prescriptions from where I had left off with the over-the-counters.  I used Cleocin-T, Retin A, Tetracycline and finally Acutane.

Each and every one of the products that I had been using were treating symptoms and NONE of them were addressing what was causing those symptoms.  What is so ironic and fascinating about all of this is that acne is due to both a virus and poor detoxification.  Compromised detoxification happens when the liver and gallbladder are congested with poisons and toxins that lead them to be unable to allow the immune system and skin to be healthy.  I was being given products to make my skin healthier that were causing my symptoms to get worse and my liver and gallbladder to be more toxic which was then leading to me having even more difficulty with detoxifying and leading to even more acne.

When I finally ended up on Acutane for several months my skin did get much better but there was a price to pay in pain in suffering.  The Acutane came with warnings from the manufacture that explained that it might cause liver damage and should not be used by pregnant women as it could cause birth defects in yet to be born children if the woman were unknowingly pregnant.  The label also said that the product could cause minor visual changes such as floaters in the eyes, dry and flaky skin, flushing, that the user should not go into direct sunlight as they might damage their eyes, and a long list of other side effects.  (I later learned that none of these types of side effect are side effects at all, but rather, they are the well-known, well studied and well understood, EFFECTS of the medication.)  The product is a synthetic type of vitamin A that prevents the liver from metabolizing fat. One of the main functions of the liver is to metabolize fat.

This was a very, very, very toxic product.  There was a class action lawsuit later against the manufacturer of Acutane because so many people got incredibly sick from its use.  That is how bad it was and still is.  Since the late 1988 they have reformulated the product several times to make it only slightly less toxic.  When I began to take the product, I started to experience many of the same symptoms that were listed on the product pamphlet.  Sure enough, I began to flush easily, I saw floaters in my eyes, and one symptom that was not mentioned on the label was that I often began to get quite irritable.  Fortunately, my acne had greatly improved with the use of the product but at what price?

A few years went by and I started to notice some very undesirable symptoms.  I was tired all of the time.  I was beginning to have neck pain and mid and low back pain.  Even though my acne was much better, I still experienced some acne.  I was regularly getting so angry with close friends and loved ones that I would yell at them at the top of my lungs.  I then began to have warm flashes during the day that caused me to get so disoriented that I was dizzy and couldn’t think straight.  I had night sweats.  I was regularly having difficulty thinking clearly – foggy thinking.  I even developed chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I was beginning to get depressed and I had a great deal of difficulty sleeping at night.  I was experiencing leaky gut / GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) — having diarrhea 4 to 6 times per day as well as fibromyalgia symptoms.  At one point I had sharp shooting pain between my shoulder blades that was so severe that I was unable to move.  I needed a handful of pills to wake up In the morning, a handful of pills to function throughout the day, and a third handful of pills to go to sleep at night.

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.  (In order to make active thyroid hormone, T3, you must have a healthy liver because 60% of the conversion of inactive to active thyroid hormone takes place in the liver.)  The doctor reviewing the lab suggested that I would need to be put on thyroid medication for the rest of my life.  Instead, I chose to use holistic therapies to heal without using any prescription medication, surgical procedures, or radiation therapy (like radioactive iodine)

I needed a solution. I started getting treated with acupuncture 5 times per week and chiropractic adjustments once every week or two.  After having received more than 17 chiropractic adjustments and over 40 acupuncture treatments with herbs over the course of 5 months, I was not really doing any better. I was not getting worse, but I also was not feeling any better.  I was at somewhat of a plateau with my health.  I found out about a chiropractic holistic doctor named Dr. Bruce Shin who had special skills and training.  His practice was in Temecula, about an hour and 45 minutes away from where I was going to school in Whittier at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Southern California University of Health Sciences.

Dr. Shin had the same title that I now hold, a Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology. He had also studied Neuro Emotional Technique and Total Body Modification and a variety of other techniques. I was able to obtain more relief after just one treatment with Dr. Shin than I was able to receive from all of the acupuncture visits and chiropractic adjustments over the last 5 months!  My energy improved.  Most of my severe pains and aches went away.  I no longer needed all of the pills to get to sleep, wake up, or function throughout the day.  I went from taking about 12 or 15 different nutrients to only needing 2 or 3 different things.  I was thinking clearly throughout the day and felt like an entirely different person.

It may sound like I was now completely healed, but my health journey was really only just beginning. What I haven’t mentioned, was that many of my worst digestive symptoms and back pain happened immediately after I received the required MMR and TB vaccines when I began chiropractic school. When I was studying the science pre-requisites needed for entry into chiropractic school, I had been exposed to mold in the apartment that I was living in in Los Angeles.  Once I graduated from chiropractic school I was again exposed to mold.  There was mold in my office, car, gym and home.  This went on for a period of more than 6 years.  This is no exaggeration.  As a result of the mold, I had to move my office twice.  I also ended up in litigation against my previous office landlord because they did not properly remediate the mold.  I purchased a new car.  I cancelled the gym membership that I had at the tie and joined another gym. I moved to a new place to live.  I moved my office twice because I had been working in a mold office environment twice throughout my first 6 years in practice.

Today, I am one of the healthiest and happiest 48-year olds that I know and I am married to my beautiful and sexy wife Ivette whom I love very much.  She means the world to me.  I met Ivette while traveling in Central and South America. During the last 11 years I have become known as one of the world’s most highly sought-after Functional Medicine / Integrative Medicine doctors who specializes in thyroid disease and hormone imbalance.  I have been on a variety of radio shows and, as you know, featured on NBC, CBS, abc, Fox News and Yahoo!.  I am also a mold and candida expert due to my own healing journey with mold infection.  I have written several articles on such diverse subjects as acupuncture meridians, TMJD (Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction), muscle testing and andropause (the male menopause).

Could your Eyeglasses and Metal Fillings Be Causing Your Brain Fog? https://triadofhealth.net/could-your-eyeglasses-and-metal-fillings-be-causing-you-to-have-brain-fog https://triadofhealth.net/could-your-eyeglasses-and-metal-fillings-be-causing-you-to-have-brain-fog#respond Mon, 23 Jul 2018 05:32:47 +0000 https://triadofhealth.net/?p=1995
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.

Heavy metals such as silver and mercury found in mercury amalgam fillings are extremely toxic.  You will see the nasty effects of the mercury vapor coming off of the silver amalgam fillings.  Mercury is highly toxic —– it is not something to be played with.  Mercury poisoning can cause hallucinations and all sorts of problems.  You can also watch videos from Hal Huggins, a dentist who discusses root canals vs. implants.

If you think you might have a problem with your prescription eye glasses then you should consider finding a behavioral optometrist who can help.  The incorrect eye glasses prescription can distort your experience of reality.  What is good because bad.  What is bad becomes good.  What is happy becomes sad.  What is sad becomes happy.  What is up now seems down.  What is down seems up.  What was once weird seems more normal.  Sometimes this is referred to as an acquired brain injury although, unlike a true brain injury, it is completely reversible with the correct eye glasses prescription.

In this video below we learn about the negative effects of mercury and silver in silver amalgam fillings.

In this video you can hear about Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, and his discussion about root canals.

Patient Services – Diagnosis & Treatment – Functional Medicine – What to Expect https://triadofhealth.net/patient-services-diagnosis-treatment-functional-medicine-what-to-expect https://triadofhealth.net/patient-services-diagnosis-treatment-functional-medicine-what-to-expect#respond Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:10:17 +0000 https://triadofhealth.net/worpress/?p=129

Patient Services

Most of us want quantity and quality in our life.  We want to live as long as possible and we also want our quality of life to be maintained throughout the years.  There are numerous options available when making decisions about how to get the most out of life.  From surgeons and prescription drugs to spiritual healers and water fasts, the array of choices for the healthcare consumer can be overwhelming.  In today’s information age, it is hard to keep up to date regarding all your health concerns and the options that you have regarding how to address them.

Dr. Ilya – Your Personal Guru to Health and Well-Being – Your Health Guru

IMGP96331-e1376866416412

What people need is a health coach – a doctor that will take the time and have the knowledge to direct them to the best option for their health. Ideally, such a doctor would inform his patients about the risks and rewards of their treatment options and allow patients to decide what is best for themselves.  Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff

“I highly recommend Dr. Ilya as your personal guru to health and well-being.”
He has geared his practice toward being that person for his patients.

–Marina King, patient

 

What to Expect

During your first visit, you will begin to learn how you can benefit from our unique services that are likely very different from those of any practitioner you have seen previously.   This is because our focus is on increasing health and not on symptoms or disease.  Commonly, most practitioners will often rush to a diagnosis in just a few minutes or send their patient to a specialist who can take care of their problem with some form of pricey surgery or drug.  Dr. Ilya invests the time needed to take a broad and thorough view of the patient’s life. After spending between 20 minutes to an hour with you, Dr. Ilya will be able to ascertain what is causing your health difficulties. He then gives you a report of his findings based on the recent health history and examination.  This report of findings, also called a diagnosis, clarifies how he can help you with your health concerns. Dr. Ilya is able to help most people with their health concerns most of the time and often resolves them quickly.  The majority of people understand how he can help them resolve their health concerns and improve their lives with a new model of health care that is based on creating optimal health and free of expensive surgeries and medications. 

Dr. Ilya is happy to refer his patients to the appropriate specialists when needed.  Whether the referral is an MD or a licensed psychologist, he will make sure that, if he cannot help you directly, he will find you a doctor who can.  Dr. Ilya is like a ONE STOP DOC.  He will be your advocate, your mentor, and your coach. To Prepare for Your Treatment Session Please wear loose, comfortable, cotton clothing or other natural fiber clothing (e.g. wool, linen, hemp, silk). Avoid wearing synthetic fibers (polypropylene, polyester, Lycra, spandex), skirts, dresses, and tight, binding clothing such as jeans. Be sure to take off all jewelry, watches or other metal objects prior to the treatment session.       

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

stinsy-6701600x1200

Psoas Muscle Test

Doctor Ilya Understands Your Body Language  Did you know that your body can talk without your even saying anything verbally or using any type of  body language? It is really amazing.

Manual muscle testing is the means by which a Chiropractic Kinesiologist communicates with the body and understands the “electrical language” that is being “spoken”. This is the most useful diagnostic tool for identifying nutritional deficiencies and health problems. Each muscle of the body relates to a specific gland and/or organ that refers to specific bones, emotions, nutrients, homeopathic remedies and herbs.

Applied Kinesiology                

Applied Kinesiology (AK) provides the foundation of Dr. Ilya’s work and is the most advanced diagnostic and treatment system in healthcare. It is an interdisciplinary approach to health care that, in addition to muscle testing, uses traditional blood, urine, and saliva laboratory findings, as well as blood pressure readings to learn about a patient’s overall health. AK has been used worldwide for more than 40 years to help people with their health.Combining professional Applied Kinesiology with chiropractic works miracles! 

What is unique about Applied Kinesiologists is that they spend many years studying the interrelationships in the body that traditional Western doctors overlook.   It is an in-depth study not taught in chiropractic school (with the exception of 1 school) or medical school but only taught in specialized postgraduate education courses.

Because of its fragmented nature, today’s health care fails to integrate treatment. That’s why we see a failure in managed health care. People are not actually improving in conventional health care.  They are just “managing” their health or “managing” their pain. Dr. Ilya’s approach actually RESTORES the healthy functioning of the body and helps his patients regain optimum health.

There are 3 Main Methods of Diagnosis in Applied Kinesiology:

1)  -Pulse Points. Based upon 10,000 years of knowledge from Acupuncture, Pulse Points reveal what gland or organs aren’t functioning properly.

Chinese Pulse Points

2)  -Postural Analysis. “The gait of man is the fate of man.”  The structure of the body, when it is still or in motion, reveals imbalances and improper functioning.

5730086L1

3)  -Temporal-Sphenoidal line: A suture in the skull where two bones known as the temporal bone and the sphenoid bone meet.  Each portion of this suture relates to a different muscle, bone, and organ/gland. A trigger point in the muscles along this suture can be used to diagnose improper functioning.

Dr. Ilya – A Master Diagnostician

What is unique about Dr. Ilya’s approach to health care and helping his patients get well quickly is his skill as a master diagnostician.  Dr. Ilya has over 8 years of additional extensive training involving specific diagnosis and treatment protocols.  This allows him to accurately understand what’s causing someone’s health challenge.  In just a few visits, he can help his patients free themselves from reliance on medical prescription drugs.   Because of his extensive training he can identify what is causing a patient to need medication in the first place.

Very few doctors are diagnosing what is causing a particular health problem, addressing how to get rid of it and prevent its return. Dr. Ilya spends 80% of his time with patients diagnosing and 20% of the time treating. Only when the source of the problem is known can the problem be resolved permanently and quickly.   To use an analogy, if you were driving down the freeway at about 70 miles per hour and the steering wheel started to shake, would it do any good to replace the steering wheel?  Not necessarily. A new steering wheel might make some change, but the original problem was not the steering wheel.  The underlying cause of the shaking steering wheel was wheels out of balance.  You can play around with the steering wheel or replace it with the best steering wheel in the world, but that will not balance the wheels.

http://www.dreamstime.com/-image4054272

Unbalanced Wheels

Unfortunately, this “replace the steering wheel” type of approach is common in conventional, Western medicine.  Doctors want to fix your heart with heart surgery, fix your thyroid with thyroid medication, study your colon with a colonoscopy, and fix your diabetes with insulin.  But what caused your heart to begin to not function properly?  What was the source of your thyroid dysfunction that led to your needing thyroid medication?  What caused your colon to have trouble?  What caused you to have diabetes that led your body to no longer be able to make enough insulin?

These are the questions Dr. Ilya considers when diagnosing and treating you. You deserve the very best in health care. And that means an approach that doesn’t put a Band-Aid over symptoms but actually goes to the root and heals the cause.

You Can Trust Dr. Ilya to Get a COMPLETE PICTURE of Your Health!

The average health care provider today rarely takes the time to speak with you face-to-face about you and your health. Dr. Ilya is different. He won’t just check your lab results to make a diagnosis. He takes into consideration your structural, chemical, and emotional make-up as a complete human being. He will notice how you stand, walk, talk and breathe and frequently will know right away what is going on with you by simple observation – a lost art in health care today.   He looks at you and your body and will ask you questions about your personal habits.  He doesn’t just examine the piece of paper that shows your lab results, but he examines YOU, the person sitting in front of him, in order to discover how your health challenge got there in the first place.  What every other doctor may have found perplexing about your health and told you was “normal,” Dr. Ilya will discover the cause quickly and accurately so that you can feel great – like you did when you were young – only even better!

TREATMENT – A New Approach

Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff uses a revolutionary “holistic” approach to health care.

In chiropractic school, students are taught to address all aspects of health, not just the spine. Some chiropractors focus solely on the spine in their practices. While this works for some patients, Dr. Ilya is his patients’ complete health resource. This means that he pays careful attention to all aspects of patient health.  This involves a complete health history, an examination that involves all of the muscles and bones of the body, dietary and environmental considerations, as well as specific lab and imaging studies that may be needed. Chiropractors receive extensive training and are often times the most qualified doctors to provide care to muscle and joint problems throughout the body. If you sprain your ankle, your chiropractor should be the first person you turn to for help. The same goes for a recurrent shoulder problem or that knee that keeps “going out.”  Chiropractic addresses all health concerns because the brain and the heart and the kidneys are connected to the flesh and muscles that are attached to the skeleton.  Every part of the body relates to every other part of the body.  Western medicine fails to put this together. For example, a right shoulder problem could be caused by a left hip injury or left ankle sprain.  In fact, it often is.  And so, if the health care provider just puts a microscope up to the right shoulder, the cause of the patient’s right shoulder pain will not be revealed.  If the cause of a problem is not revealed then even though the problem may go away, it will come back, or, another problem will arise from the same cause.


Chiropractic versus Western Medicine

Choosing a health care provider is difficult. Nobody wants to cut corners or “get a deal” when it comes to their health. These are sobering times that we live in with 7 out of the 10 top causes of death in the United States being chronic conditions. Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, etc.) focus their attention on the treatment of chronic conditions. Chiropractic is safe and non-invasive. There are no drugs, radiation or surgery used in chiropractic. Chiropractic is the science of “caring for the human frame” and paying attention to diet and exercise and lifestyle as a means of promoting healing.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association’s July 26, 2000 edition, medical treatment (drugs, radiation, surgery and medical doctor preferred therapies) was the third leading cause of death in the United States that year, causing 225,000 deaths (Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000; 284(4): 483-5). In the publication called “Death by Medicine” by Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean, MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; and Debora Rasio, MD, western medicine is now rated as the #1 cause of death in the United States.  Marcia Angell, M.D., the first female editor-in-chief for the New England Journal of Medicine, describes why this happens in her book, The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Lie and Deceive Us and What to Do About It.  Because Dr. Angell was so disturbed with her findings about the drug companies, she chose to quit her position as editor-in-chief after 14 years and expose the pharmaceutical companies in her book.


Functional Medicine

At Triad of Health we practice “functional medicine.”  What this means is that we check to see how a patient’s body will respond to therapy BEFORE and AFTER we offer a course of therapy.

There is a 3 step process involved.

1.     The cause of the health concern is diagnosed

2.     The need for therapies is diagnosed and supplied.  A minimum of 3 therapies or their equivalent are given: structural, chemical and emotional.  These therapies are specific to the individual patient on the day they are seen.

3.     The results of all structural, chemical, emotional, electromagnetic and lifestyle change therapies and referrals are closely followed.

To repeat, chiropractic is safe.  We do not use drugs, radiation or surgery.  We use a variety of holistic approaches such as homeopathy, herbs, nutrition, and dietary plans. We also use acupuncture, massage, whole food nutrients, glandulars, exercise, emotional therapies, weight loss plans and allergy desensitization procedures. All of our treatment approaches have been adequately tested.

Holistic Therapy

By providing the most advanced holistic therapies currently available, we are able to bring you to a place of peace, clarity and health.  Each of our holistic therapies is specific and varies from patient to patient.  No two patients are ever given the same therapy or put on the same protocol. No two patients are the same!  There is neither a “one size fits all” approach nor a turnkey system that works for everyone.  Each person has a different metabolism and unique health needs.  At Triad of Health, we believe that it is important to consider the whole person from a physical, nutritional and emotional perspective. This core belief system permits us to call ourselves “holistic” doctors because we address the “whole person.”

“The Highest Good is to find the Cause
