Shepherd of Hope Clinic

Alternative Medicine

ost traditional physicians treat patients with medication that takes away their symptoms or the signs of their disease. If a patient has high blood pressure or high blood sugar, a medication is used to control this problem. At SHEPHERD OF HOPE CLINIC we believe that signs of disease are present only when conditions are unfavorable and the body has to change some of its internal processes in order to survive the trouble. The alternative method of treatment finds the unfavorable condition and removes it so that the body can get back into balance and healing can take place. This usually requires the removal of toxins and the replacement of essential vitamins and minerals. Yes - the body does the healing -just give it a chance!

To be healed you must...

Cleanse, Rebuild, Balance

Cleanse

Our modern world has polluted the air, the water and the soil.  Toxins can be heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic; pesticides; chemicals; bacteria; molds; parasites, or viruses. Because we live here, we too are polluted. We have to first clean the parts before putting them back together. This is detoxification. We do it several ways dependent on the type of toxin.

CHELATION THERAPY

This is an IV treatment that is used to remove heavy metals from the bloodstream and tissues of the body. Certain substances  like DMPS or EDTA  have been found to bind to these toxins and are given in IV solution over 2 to 3 hours. The bound metals are then carried away through the blood to the kidneys where they leave the system. Several treatments are usually necessary to maximize the cleansing. A great benefit of this treatment is that it also assists in the removal of plaque from the arteries.

HERBAL CLEANSING

As a result of low fiber diets and environmental pollution, many people have various intestinal toxins. Because most patients are found to have parasites, herbal treatments are used which have been found to cleanse not only the intestine but also the body's tissue of these unwanted chemicals and vermin.

COLONIC

In America, over two million people every year are diagnosed with colon disease. Remember, the saying is "Death begins in the Colon". Cancer of the colon is second only to heart disease as the most frequent cause of death today and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is an the rise.

Cleansing and rebuilding a poorly functioning colon is one of the most important steps you can take to greatly reduce the risk of colon cancer and achieve an improve
state of health.

OTHER METHODS
We may recommend the following methods to accomplish the cleansing of the intestines and colon: colonics, coffee enemas or fasting.

Rebuild

Once the body is cleansed, it may need to be rebuilt.  In conjunction with many standard lab and x ray studies, Shepherd of Hope uses many other tests to determine deficiencies that may need to be replaced.  , such as a hair, analysis assists us in knowing which elements or vitamins should be replaced. When elements and vitamins are significantly low, we may recommend that they initially be replaced intravenously. Ordinarily oral nutritional therapy is satisfactory. A computer generated diet is a phenomenal help to put the patient on the right track.

Balance

It is frequently necessary to assist the body in achieving balance in a number of ways:

• If there is injury involved or evidence that the structure of the body is adversely effected by outside forces, Chiropractic adjustments of massage may be required. This form of treatment causes the vital energies that are intended to flow through the neurovascular system to be reestablished. When these energies are able to reach their destination, vitality can be returned to the organs.
• Most often the processes of rebalancing can be hastened by the use of Homeopathy. Here very dilute substances obtained from natural sources are used. These 'remedies' contain only the atomic imprint of the original substance. When an appropriate Homeopathic remedy is selected by the clinician, this energy transfer can cause very significant healing without adverse effects.
• Prolotherapy is an injection treatment which uses natural substances known as proliferants which, when injected into A joint or ligament, can produce increased strength of the structure. When the ligament or joint is made strong, pains are relieved and function returns. Prolotherapy is used extensively in the management of arthritis and pain syndromes.
