What is Alternative Medicine?

Alternative medicine is defined as a practice/therapy/treatment that is not exercised in the traditional medicine community. Some people call chiropractic alternative medicine, yet there is strong evidence that chiropractic works (maybe not for everybody). In medicine there is a general rule: “Never say never, and never say always.”

Consider acupuncture: it has been around for thousands of years, Dr. Floyd has seen an actual movie where a gallbladder surgery was performed, and the only anesthetic used was acupuncture! However, traditional medicine can not deliver a scientifically sound explanation for why acupuncture works. So even though billions of Chinese patients have benefited from acupuncture, this technique is not taught in traditional medical schools.

While Dr. Floyd is fully licensed to practice Traditional Medicine, he knows that there are limitations in what traditional medicine can do. This is especially true when it comes to viral and degenerative (age-related) conditions. This is when Alternative Medicine gets the call. Our new problem is that unqualified individuals can post anything on the Internet, and there is no authority to separate bona fide Alternative Medicine treatments from dangerous quackery. One of Dr. Floyd’s missions: to be a voice of reason in the world of Alternative Medicine. He seeks to identify bogus treatments, and to educate the patient in what is, or is not, appropriate for them. Call for a free consultation by phone, or in person.

Some of Our Alternative Medicine Treatments:

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement: Saliva Hormone Testing is used for both men and women. Bio identical hormones are superior to synthetic hormones, because they are natural. For example, women do not gain as much weight with the Bio-identical estrogen as they do using Premarin.Hormone replacement is an important anti-aging therapy, and helps with menopausal symptoms, loss of sex drive, weight gain, and overall energy level. Don't forget, men have hormones too.	Food Allergy Testing: Food is nature's foundation medicine. We take it every day. A condition called "Toxic Food Syndrome" is becoming more common in our society. Here, foods that are generally considered to be healthy, can produce physical, mental, and emotional distress in certain people. You can stop poisoning your system if you can identify the (normally healthy) foods that are bad for you. Some conditions that can occur from food allergies include, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, Crohn's Disease, migraines,sinus problems and even weight gain. For more information see www.immunolabs.com
Chelation is an intravenous therapy that slows and or reverses the progression of Age-Related or Degenerative Diseases. A useful detoxification technique, chelation has positive impact on macular degeneration, diabetic complications, helps prevent strokes and or heart attacks, and may have a positive effect on cancer growth. See http://drcranton.com/chelation.htm	Cranio Sacral Therapy is a specialized, gentle, osteopathic technique that improves the functioning of the central nervous system. It helps conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Migraines, Confusion or Emotional Distress, and Autism. See www.iahe.com/html/therapies/cst.jsp
HCG Diet: HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. There, its function is to breakdown fat to provide nutrition for the developing fetus.When a person is not pregnant, HCG both breaks down fat and suppresses appetite. In practice, HCG is given as a series of tiny, painless injections. Generally, people experience a 20 pound weight loss in 6 weeks.
