Only by doing so, will our bodies correct themselves and return to optimal health.”

Weaving Internal Medicine with Alternative Medicine to Use the Best Each Has to Offer

Prevention and Healing clinic integrates traditional internal medicine with Alternative and Complementary medicine for the management of chronic illness when conventional approaches alone have failed.

“My Doctor said everything is fine! Then why do I feel so bad?”

New environments bring new health problems. Conventional medical treatments never deal with the reasons why illnesses exist. They frequently create new health problems as side effects in their attempts to treat symptoms.

Modern medicine has been very successful in dealing with many serious infectious diseases and acute medical problems, but now we are facing greater challenges.

We are dealing with chronic illnesses based on their symptoms such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Allergies, Hypoglycemia, Anxiety, Depression, Irritability, Attention Deficit and Memory Loss, and later diagnosed with Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, and many others.

If you’re suffering from a chronic and incurable disease, have been diagnosed with “medically unexplained symptoms (MUS)” and labeled as a weird, difficult or extreme patient, there is hope for you. Think outside of MUS head! Your medical problems may not be what you think or what you have been told or diagnosed.

Think hidden parasite infection, food allergies, environmental toxicities from heavy metals and chemical exposures, dental infection, diet and nutrition, unresolved emotional conflict and the need for detoxifications. Accidental Cure, the book, will explain my approach to an individualized evaluation based on your unique biological terrain, bio-cybernetic matrix, and bio-energetic, acupuncture meridian assessment.

You may go to my web site for numerous articles. To be informed of the book’s release, you can sign up for my newsletter through my web site. You’ll be able to purchase the book from my web site or from www.AccidentalCure.com in the spring of 2010. Beware and be warned! To some, this book will seem like it’s just full of crock pot ideas on alternative/complementary medicine. To others, it feels like a sigh of relief, an accidental discovery of an oasis in a desert.

Longevity Plus had effective answers to osteoporosis with their Beyond Bone, H.R.T. Plus and Beyond Any Multiple but the public will prefer the subsidized poisons offered under our health care system, unless you educate them about the dangers from bisphosphonates like Fosamax.

Excerpt:

Bisphosphonates are now the most widely marketed and prescribed patented, FDA-approved anti-osteoporosis drugs. Bisphosphonates mimic, to some extent, the effects of estrogen on bone in that they work by inhibiting bone resorption [the process by which old bone is removed to make room for new bone]. However, like estrogen, these drugs have no ability to build new bone.

Currently FDA-approved bisphosphonates, including Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel (risedronate), Didronel (etidronate), Boniva (ibandronate), and Reclast (Zometa) (zoledronate), are designed to strengthen bone by inhibiting normal osteoclastic bone resorbing activity, which slows the loss of bone mineral density (BMD), allowing the trabecular architecture to stabilize. Notice that this has nothing to do with stabilizing the balance between estrogen and progesterone, restoring calcium levels, or any other natural process.

Like many other patented drugs, bisphosphonates are synthetic analogs of an important natural bone-building chemical, pyrophosphate, which normally helps bind calcium to bone tissue through a process known as mineralization. Unlike pyrophosphate, however, bisphosphonates actually block normal mineralization as well as osteoclastic bone resorption.

Large, placebo-controlled trials generally show that these drugs can indeed increase BMD and reduce the risk of vertebral, hip, and other nonvertebral fractures in women with osteoporosis—at least in the short run. That’s the good news. Merck, the company that markets the leading bisphosphonate, Fosamax (now also sold generically as alendronate), seized upon results like these to turn its drug into a blockbuster worth as much as $3.6 billion per year. Use of Fosamax and other bisphosphonates has been growing at an especially rapid rate since 2002, when the publication of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) results scared women away from “estrogen” replacement, which until then had been the leading conventional method for preventing osteoporosis.

Unfortunately, all may not be so rosy after all. Trials lasting up to 10 years are beginning to raise doubts about the long-term safety and efficacy of bisphosphonates. The main problem is that bisphosphonates not only directly—and unnaturally—inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption, they also indirectly inhibit the other side of the bone-building coin, osteoblastic bone formation.
