Arterial Elasticity Index (hardening of the arteries)
 The Arterial Elasticity Index (AEI) is a test that measures the flexibility or hardness of arteries: this is different than arterial blockage. The AEI is measured with a modified blood pressure cuff that measures the extent of arteriosclerosis (hardness) of arteries. Using AEI, alongside conventional cardiovascular markers, we can precisely monitor your response to natural and conventional therapies. Are chelation, diet and exercise working? Let’s find out!

Autonomic Nervous System Evaluation Stress Test
 Heart disease, hypertension, anxiety, hyperactivity, autoimmune disease, certain gastrointestinal disorders, and many other conditions may be related to imbalances of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls automatic (involuntary) body functions, including secretion of acid into the stomach for digestion and speeding up of the heart rate in response to stress. This noninvasive test helps measure the overall “fitness” of one’s autonomic nervous system sot that the appropriate natural treatments can be recommended.

Bio-identical Hormones
 Our office provides a comprehensive and individualized approach using bio-identical hormones. Bio-identical hormones are identical to those made by the body and are synthetic (made in a laboratory). It is a misconception that plants contain “natural” hormones; plants DO contain hormone-like chemicals that are often used as “starting chemicals” when bio-identical hormones are produced in the laboratory. The human body is unable to convert hormone-like chemicals in plants such as soy and wild yams to active hormones. Hormones used by conventional OBs, internist and endocrinologists are also synthetic, but are very different structurally from those made endogenously (in the body). Bio-identical hormones are easily recognized by the body and are thought to carry far less risk of hormone related cancers compared to synthetic, non-bio-identical hormones.

Our office utilizes several important tests for determining the best balance of bio-identical hormones required. These important tests include:
  • Certain blood hormone levels
  • Specific saliva hormone measurements
  • Urine measurements of estrogen metabolites
  • Non-hormone nutritional and other laboratory tests that evaluate various body processes that determine directly or indirectly hormone need, use and overall balance.
It is the combination of these tests that give the most comprehensive assessment of hormone levels, relative use by body tissues in need and potential cancer risk (Yes! Even natural hormones may increase cancer risk in a given individual)

Breast Thermography - Breast Cancer Screening without Radiation
Breast thermography is a state-of-the-art screening procedure that captures images of the breast to aid in the early detection of breast irregularities. According to the American Journal of Surgery, “is a valuable adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, especially in women with dense breast parenchyma”.

It is based on the principle of temperature variation, the slight increase in heat that is almost always generated when chemical and blood vessel activity occurs in pre-cancerous tissue and the areas surrounding a developing breast cancer. Images are captured with ultra-sensitive infra-red cameras and analyzed with sophisticated computers that seek to detect the minute increases in surface temperature and vascular changes that may be occurring within the breast. It is comfortable and safe, using neither radiation nor compression.

Breast thermographic technology has been researched for over 30 years. It has, however, been gaining national prominence and more widespread use only recently, due to the publicity received by radiation-based screening technologies in the guidelines issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Federal Government. It should not, however, be considered an alternative to mammography. Rather, it should be regarded as an adjunct to mammography, and should be included in every woman’s regular breast health regimen. Women of all ages should employ a combination of techniques, including breast self-examination, physical examinations of the breast by a physician, thermography, mammography, and sometimes ultrasound or MRI examinations, where indicated. Studies have shown that the earliest detection generally occurs when several test techniques are used in combination. The inclusion of thermography can often point out the need for more intensive examination to make a complete diagnosis.

The Index Medicus, a comprehensive index of medical scientific journal articles, references more than 800 peer-reviewed breast thermography studies, in which over 250,000 women participated. Many of these studies involved very large groups of patients (from 37,000 to over 100,000) and some have followed patients for as much as 12 years. Among other conclusions, these studies found that when thermography has been added to a woman’s regular breast health checkups, a 61% increased survival rate was realized, and when used as part of a multi-modal approach (clinical examination, mammography and thermography) 95% of early stage cancers will be detected. Since 23% of all breast cancers occur in women under the age of 49, regular breast health checkups should be undertaken by women of all ages, even those in their 20’s. It is well known that early detection is the best defense against breast cancer and that, if treated in the earliest stages, a 95% cure rate is achieved.

Chelation Therapy
The term chelation is from the Greek root word "chele," meaning "claw." Chelating agents, most commonly diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), were originally designed for industrial applications in the early 1900s. However, varieties of chelation agents are available and should be carefully chosen for the specific toxin(s) that must be removed. Chelation therapy also removes various nutrients including zinc; a deficiency of which can reduce immune function. Our office bases chelation therapy upon kidney function, the toxin or toxins (i.e., heavy metal) to be removed, medications, overall health and presence of disease…and very importantly, our patent pending laboratory interpretation technology – Blood Detective (please consult the rest of our brochure for more information). WHAT YOU MUST KNOW - We DO NOT give every patient the same chelation formula in their IV-drips; in fact, it is not uncommon for us to continuously change and adapt your IV-drip based on your progress, new research and your clinical response. This level of attention to your needs is what you will get and deserve! The “best chelator” does not exist – the chelator of choice may change, remain the same and or be combined with other necessary assessment measurements. Arterial stiffness (atherosclerosis measurement) and blood minerals and organ function measurements are just some of the testing possibilities for those who will receive chelation therapy.


Herbal Therapy
 Herbal medicine is a tried-and-tested approach to health and disease treatment used by many cultures around the world. In fact, most medications used by medical physicians were originally derived from plants and herbs. Scientific validation for the use of many herbs is finally here! Together with a careful health history, nutritional examination and the appropriate lab tests, it is now possible to individualize the right herbs for the right person at the right time. Herbs are as complex as the human body. We pride ourselves in our knowledge of Chinese, American and Ayurvedic herbs and their proper use for health and disease treatment and prevention.





Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) Therapy
 Most cells produce hydrogen peroxide. For example, granulocytes (a type of white blood cell) produce hydrogen peroxide as a first-line defense against bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Other cells make hydrogen peroxide to help metabolize proteins, carbohydrate, fats, vitamins, and minerals. We provide intravenous HP on-site.

Intravenous Nutrition/Vitamin and Mineral Injections
 Reserved for those health issues requiring faster results, intravenous nutrition is a reliable method of increasing tissue levels of nutrition many times higher than nutrients by mouth could ever achieve. IV and IM nutrition allow for quickly "catching up" with nutritional deficiencies and are eventually discontinued: allowing foods and oral supplements to work best. Dr. Wald is the author of the most complete textbook on the subject of intravenous nutrition available. Because of age, illness, or medications, some people require higher-than-normal doses of nutrients or cannot absorb the nutrients they need from food alone. When vitamins and minerals are administered intravenously or with intramuscular injections, nutrients are absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream for delivery to the organs and tissues in need. These methods, in combination with a balanced, individually tailored diet and nutritional supplements (if needed), can meet one's nutritional needs more quickly and thoroughly than dietary interventions alone. WHAT YOU MUST KNOW – Our facility bases intravenous nutrition formula’s upon your health issues, your current stresses, your genetics and your laboratory work…as well as other factors. We DO NOT give every patient the same nutritional formula in their IV-drips; in fact, it is not uncommon for us to continuously change and adapt your IV-drip based on your progress, new research and your clinical response. This level of attention to your needs is what you will get and deserve!

Medical Diagnostic Testing & The Blood Detective™ Approach
 Our staff is trained to evaluate blood tests from a nutritional and medical perspective, allowing for more accurate interpretation and treatment options. Dr. Wald is the developer of a ground breaking technology called Blood Detective Logic that is influencing the natural health care field worldwide. Most doctors only identify test results that are already in the abnormal high or low range, and treat disease once it is obvious and in full force. The Blood Detective system (Dr. Wald’s invention) goes beyond this, potentially uncovering sub-clinical (hidden) abnormalities and trends before blood levels show the full disease state. The result — we help you prevent disease and illness...naturally! Even when your doctor says, “Your lab tests are normal,” Dr. Wald, the original Blood Detective, works hard to find natural solutions for all of your health issues.

Osteoporosis Screening - No Radiation!!
 Our method of bone density measurement uses the calcaneous - your heel bone. It is the most weight-bearing bone in the body. What's best is that our technique uses sonogram (sound waves) and not x-ray radiation as conventional testing does, to accurately screen for loss of bone density (i.e., osteopenia and osteoporosis). Complementary medicine recognizes that degrading bone health may be secondary to absorption problems, chronic infections and disease, hormonal disorders and nutritional inadequacies. Osteoporosis screening is quick, painless and is part of a well-balanced nutritional and natural medicine approach. Please consult the information below and consider whether or not you should be tested. PDF document on osteoporosis

Ozone Therapy
 Ozone is an element (an oxidant) that the body naturally produces that stimulates the immune system and our antioxidant defenses. The body might produce an "oxidant" such as ozone to fight against a bacterial, fungal or viral infection, and/or repair dead and dying cells. Ozone may be dissolved into sterile water or blood products: within the blood ozone has been scientifically shown to kill various infectious agents. Our office provides intravenous ozone therapy.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (ORPT)
 Our office utilizes individually based dietary, vitamin, mineral and herbal approaches for sports injuries. There therapies are based upon extremely detailed blood and urine tests that often reveal underlying nutritional problems that may either predispose and/or severely limit recovery of tissues including bone, ligament, tendon, muscle and nerve. We do not provide PRPT, but prefer to balance the entire individuals unique nutritional needs enhancing overall health and well being; with an emphasis on sports injuries.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation
 Dr. Wald is the author of two popular books among Anti-Aging doctors entitled: The Encyclopedia of Nutritional Laboratory Tests and, The Encyclopedia of Anti-Aging Nutritional Tests. Dr. Wald literally invented the Blood Logic System helping him figure out your unique bio-nutritional needs. Traditional medicine has only remedial training in nutrition and is trained in only the RDA (minimal) governmental requirements. Testing and technologies are available to help determine your precise nutritional needs.

Weight Loss (... and keeping it off) Consultations: Our, Perfect Weight Loss Plan
 Measuring Tape blank Reducing caloric intake and exercise may not have worked best for your weight loss efforts. In our experience, weight loss efforts must consider the entirety of your health care needs. Here are some examples of important considerations often missed:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Deficiencies of testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, hormone and/or progesterone for example can and often do slow or prevent weight loss efforts. Blood, urine and/or salivary hormone tests may all be required to get a complete handle on your hormonal problems. Keep in mind that foods and exercise affect hormone levels! However, if hormone levels are imbalanced the effects of even the most carefully planned out diet calorically and exercise plan will be blunted.
  • Toxicity: Many toxins are fat soluble which means that they are stored by the body in fatty tissues such as the breast tissue and the fat around organs. Weight loss efforts are often slowed or prevented when the issue of toxicity is not adequately handled. Not all detoxification programs are the same and they should not be!! Our detox plans are toxin-based which means that tests are done to identify some predominant toxins in your body and a food, exercise, supplement and lifestyle plan invented for your health, detoxification and long term weight loss needs.
  • Exercise: So you think you exercise enough and exactly as you should? Maybe or maybe not. Exercises should be based on your overall health and weight loss goals and not all exercises will affect you and your metabolic rate the same. If you have never heard of muscle confusion or lactic acid threshold then you are probably not exercising correctly. Also, your exercise, food and nutritional supplement plan must all be coordinated together in a way that is, "do-able", relatively enjoyable and results ultimately in the desired weight loss from fat and water weight and not from lean body tissue.
