Functional Medicine

Functional medicine has its roots in natural medicine.

Many prescription medications are made from herbs that have been used by many cultures around the world for centuries.

Functional medicine combines volumes of herbal wisdom with the most up-to-date forms of testing. Testing by specialty laboratories can reveal such nutrient deficiencies and excesses, nutrient absorption, hormone disruptors, aberrant detoxification pathways, allergic substances, and hidden food sensitivities.

Blood, urine, and saliva can provide valuable information about a person’s metabolism. Biochemical individuality forms the cornerstone of functional medicine. Specialized laboratories examine, for example, nutrient absorption, detoxification pathways, and genomic SNPs.

Depending upon findings, you can discover if genetics, lifestyle, and targeted nutrition might benefit your overall health. If you are addressing specific issues or want improved well-being in general, a few tests could make a difference for you. Cardio-metabolic nutrition, such as CoQ, offers promise to improve cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

Physical characteristics, however, are not the only factors in well-being. Emotional health, a person’s mindset, and attitudes play a critical role in their personal satisfaction and happiness. Ultimately, optimism translates as a “medicine” of sorts. Conversely, a pessimistic outlook can keep one in a depressed state and adversely affect physical health.

Functional medicine offers a holistic perspective: by examining family medical history, personal traumas, and emotional wounds from childhood, marriages, divorces, or any significant relationship issues, a functional medicine practitioner can shed light on how seemingly unrelated events might contribute to imbalance. The goal is to restore equilibrium to all aspects–physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual–and so regain a better quality of life.

Allergy Testing

Food allergy testing can help you determine the cause of your mental and physical symptoms. Research and clinical studies have shown that food allergies may be a major contributing factor to many chronic health conditions.

Symptoms of IgG food allergy may include:

Abdominal PainsHyperactivity
Aches and PainsIrritable Bowel Syndrome
AcneItching
ADHDLethargy
AnxietyLoss of Appetite
ArthritisMigraine
AsthmaNausea
AutismPMS
BloatingPsoriasis
Celiac DiseaseRecurrent Ear Infection
Chronic FatigueRecurrent Sinus Infections
Chronic InfectionsRhinitis
ConstipationSinusitis
DepressionSkin Rashes
DizzinessStomach Cramps
EczemaTension
Enuresis (Bed Wetting)Urticaria
FibromyalgiaWeight Gain
Fluid RetentionWeight Loss
GI ProblemsWheezing

When the immune system is engaged in IgG production, numerous cytokines are also put into motion. The influence of these cytokines extends beyond the immune system to specific areas of the brain that regulate and affect behavior and mood. It is no wonder that under the influence of these powerful compounds, people can feel sick and tired when they are indeed being assaulted immunologically.

Not available in NY, FL.

Hormone Testing

Hormones are regulatory substances produced in the endocrine glands. One of the most disruptive factors in hormonal balance is stress. We are inundated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals: food preservatives, plasticizers from bottled water, to name a few.

  • Cortisol – the stress hormone
  • Insulin – glucose control
  • Estrogen – mood, PMS
  • Testosterone – muscle strength and heart health

Hormones regulate our digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. Once one hormone is out of balance, others will follow.

For an overview of the body’s hormone arsenal, see The Pituitary Foundation’s website.

If you are feeling out of balance, are experiencing mood swings, anxiety, irregular cycles, restless sleep, fatigue, or brain fog, hormone testing can provide the explanation. We can help to identify the causative factors and offer solutions to begin to reset your hormonal balance.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy helps people recover from traumatic injuries. An osteopathic physician, Dr. John Upledger, developed craniosacral therapy in the 1970s. Nearly 40 years of positive therapeutic experiences reported by thousands of therapists around the world attest to its efficacy. The craniosacral system comprises the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull, including the face and mouth, and continues to the sacrum/tailbone area.

Craniosacral therapy gently restores the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid, making you feel more relaxed. It is safe for all ages—from infants to 100+ years.

Your nervous system has a pulse you can feel, just like you can sense the rhythm of your heart when you touch your wrist. And in the same way clogged arteries can impair your heart function, factors like a fall, auto accident, whiplash, and other injuries can cause restrictions in your spinal column, which safely shelters the spinal cord. Your chiropractor or osteopathic physician can release much of this stress; however, damage deeper in the body can benefit from craniosacral therapy.

To test for blockages, the therapist uses a very light touch. Once the blocks are released, the body’s inherent hydraulic forces self-correct the misalignments, which might have been causing minor or moderate discomfort to severe pain. The movement is so subtle, yet it produces dramatic results and profound relaxation.

Trauma–especially head injuries– chronic neck and back pain, migraine headache, stroke, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, difficulties with vision, chronic fatigue, and scoliosis are just some of the conditions that can benefit from this gentle but powerful healing modality.

Craniosacral therapy calms fussy infants.

Emotional difficulties, central nervous system disorders, PTSD, stress, and tension also respond to this technique, restoring healthy craniosacral rhythm.

Read about some of the benefits for infants in Green Child Magazine. Craniosacral can be used as an adjunct therapy to help other conditions, such as:

  • Migraines and Headaches
  • Constipation
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Disturbed Sleep Cycles and Insomnia
  • Scoliosis
  • Sinus Infections
  • Neck Pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Recurrent Ear Infections or Colic in Infants
  • TMJ
  • Trauma Recovery, including Trauma from Whiplash
  • Mood Disorders Like Anxiety or Depression
  • Difficult Pregnancies

Naturopathic Consultation

In your naturopathic consultation, you will learn both ancient healing and future medicine.

“May your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”
– Hippocrates 400 B.C.

Raw, organic fruits and vegetables, and fresh herbs and herbal teas are the principal sources Nature Cure uses for healing. Nature Cure holds as its core philosophy the following time-honored tenets to gently stimulate the body’s innate healing ability:

Manual Lymph Drainage

Manual lymph drainage cleanses the lymphatic system — the body’s waste-pumping apparatus. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body and regenerating aging tissues. It works in conjunction with the circulatory system to filter and pump out toxins and maintain a healthy immune system. Tiny muscular units called lymphangions contract to propel proteins, toxins, hormones, fatty acids, and immune cells to the lymph nodes for processing. Fatigue, stress, emotional shock, infection, cold temperatures, chemical toxins, inactivity, and inflammation impede lymph circulation, contributing to the development of chronic illness and accelerating the aging process.

This hands-on technique, manual lymph drainage, activates and cleanses the body’s lymph nodes and reestablishes fluid circulation; it also positively affects the parasympathetic nervous system.

Conditions which may benefit from this manual therapy include lymphedema, detoxification, regeneration of tissue from burns, scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks, and relief of chronic and subacute inflammation such as sinusitis, otitis, bronchitis, acne, and allergies. Some cases of fibromyalgia and CFS, insomnia, stress, memory loss, low vitality, constipation, muscle hypertonus, adiposis, and cellulite may also improve.

“This time, I got Cosmo Therapy instead of former incarnation reading. This Cosmo Therapy was established by Dr. Gumbel, who is German and as old as I. First, you are required to pick a color out of 13, following your intuition. I picked out pink. Then [I] selected [an] aroma oil and drinking oil (i.e., essential oil and aquarom) according to the color. I tried them and felt relaxed.

Next, you are wrapped up in a robe of the color you picked out. Then you are exposed to colored light and sound, holding a gemstone, lying down with your eyes closed. In this way, your five senses are awakened and [your] six[th] sense will be developed. I can see indigo, purple, orange, and white dancing against black in my closed eyes.

I regained my energy full[y] and overcame the fatigue due to the long trip. I recommend you this therapy.”

Cosmo-Music – Encouraging Creativity Through Music

“Many people are dreaming of making music themselves, even though they have never played an instrument before. Cosmo Music is a new kind of music which allows anyone to play freely, creatively and spontaneously depending on the way one feels. Cosmo Music encourages creativity when playing something original—something which was never played by anyone else before. So making music this way is combining composition and play.”

– Excerpt from Cosmomusic (2011) by Dietrich Gümbel, Ph.D.

Sound Therapy

“Very few in this world know to what extent phenomena can be produced by the power of the voice. If there is any real trace of miracle, of phenomenon, of wonder, it is in the voice.”
– Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), Sufi Master

First and foremost among instruments to produce sound is the human voice. From time immemorial, mothers have sung lullabies to their infants and children to gently “lull” them to sleep. Man uses his vocal cords for song, for ceremony, and for everyday speech. From toning and droning to chanting and singing, mankind has delighted in the harmonics that sound can produce.

Man created countless musical instruments–such as trumpets and horns, pianos and organs, tuning forks and gongs, Tibetan bowls, and crystal bowls — to accompany his voice, for solo performance and in symphony with other companion instruments.

Regardless of the instrument, it has long been held as a principle of the physics of sound that it travels on waveforms. Newer research, however, suggests that sound follows a spiral pattern. John and Analiese Reid’s visualization of sound based on the late Hans Jenny’s (1904-1972) research provides excellent scientific proof of how sound affects physical matter (cymatics). See the Reids’ website. You will have no doubt that sound vibrations or frequencies really do shape physical matter.

Brennan Healing Science – a Comprehensive Approach to Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness

Brennan Healing Science demands four years of extensive study of human anatomy and physiology, personal process work, skills mastery in numerous healing techniques, and commitment to a life purpose of helping others. Brennan Healing Science offers an intricate and integrative approach to assessing the condition of the human energy field.

Hands-On Healing

When You Want to Get to the Root of the Problem

Hands-on healing is gentle — yet powerful. Using high sense perception as described by Dr. Barbara Ann Brennan, it is possible to detect disturbances or energetic blockages in the subtle energy field. If you have ever felt out of sorts — just not like yourself — or if your relationship with your spouse, children, parents, siblings, friends, or colleagues does not seem to be working, energy analysis can provide crucial keys to becoming aware of unhealthy patterns that might be causing conflict. So, bringing them to conscious awareness can help you to release destructive thoughts, feelings, and energy patterns to facilitate true healing.

Chakras Relate to Specific Organs Which Correspond to the Human Endocrine System

Art and Skill

There is an art and skill to know when to apply each to achieve the optimal effect: this varies from one person to another. We utilize high sense perception, dowsing, as well as computer programs and sensors with precision to ascertain blockages in the energy field. As a follow-up, periodic assessment is a good way to maintain a healthy subtle energy anatomy, greater vitality, and to address potential health risks before they may manifest as disease in the physical body.

If there is poor nutrition, excess stress, toxins, or negative emotions, the body’s healthy oscillations become imbalanced or weak. A body that is vibrating at a low frequency cannot easily deal with viruses, bacteria, toxic chemicals, and heavy metals that are present. Not only do toxins endanger the body, but they also become energetic stressors. So common is toxicity in our environment today that few can escape its effects. Anxiety, emotional factors, and stress further compromise our ability to excrete and deal with toxins.

Light Therapy – Phototherapy

Traveling Through the Body at the Speed of Light

Light therapy, or phototherapy, has been used for millennia for healing myriad physical and emotional disorders. Since the Middle Ages, colored stained-glass windows served a physiological and spiritual purpose. But the eye is not the only pathway for light to enter the body and the human energy field. When sunlight streamed through the brilliantly colored panes in Christian churches all over the world, the light frequencies replenished the invisible energy field surrounding the congregants’ physical bodies. Colored light restored the areas depleted in their subtle energy fields—their spirit. Today, colored light still shines on the faithful, and outside our places of worship, light simply makes us feel good!

One of light’s most encouraging uses for the relief of physical and emotional symptoms can be found in its application for SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (see winter blues listed in the recommended reading section below). During winter months in the northern hemisphere, when daylight hours are diminished, full-spectrum lighting can provide the visible light frequencies our sluggish bodies and psyches need for nourishment and mood enhancement. Full-spectrum light chases the “winter blues.” Delayed sleep-phase disorder (DSPD) or delayed sleep-phase type (DSPT), a circadian rhythm sleep disorder, can benefit from phototherapy.

Light therapy very effectively aids the healing of skin disorders such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema. Dermatitis (e.g., poison ivy) responds remarkably well to indigo or violet light. An extensive list of photosensitive medications (go to articles for a list of foods and photosensitizing agents) provides ample evidence that light can cause biochemical reactions and does affect the physical body.

The Human Body Is a Bundle of Light Particles

Technology uses fiber optic bundles for thousands of applications—from illumination in surgical and dental procedures to telecommunications. Our bodies are made up of cells that have photons, tiny particles that carry varying wavelengths. They are responsible for electromagnetic activity that keeps us “charged.”

A realistic perspective of the electromagnetic spectrum and its frequencies in relation to matter and molecular structure (downloaded from Wikimedia).

Light affects our body, mind, and spirit so easily and so effectively because skin has trillions of photoreceptors. These receiving packets soak up light signals as a primary nutrient. Just as sunlight is essential for supplying Vitamin D, a full menu of color is critical for our health and well-being. The more colorful our diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, the brighter we shine!

Phototherapy delivers various frequencies of light waves via fiber optics, lasers, LEDs, dichroic glass lamps, prisms, or very bright, full-spectrum light.

At Full Spectrum Energy Medicine, we utilize various forms of light — full spectrum, LEDs, and lasers. Dr. Dietrich Gümbel’s Derma Color Therapy addresses physical skin disturbances. In his more complex system, Cosmo-Therapy, described in depth in his book entitled Healing through the Senses, you can access emotional and spiritual issues.

In sensory healing (Healing through the Senses – “Cosmo-Therapy”), we use one color and its complementary color in the visible light spectrum, ranging from 400 nm (4 x 10-7 m) to 700 nm (7 x 10-7 m) (nanometers).

Energy Medicine: How Does Vibrational Medicine Work?

Energy medicine – sometimes called vibrational medicine – establishes a new paradigm for assessing disease and degenerative processes. In contrast, allopathic medicine bases its views of the human body on traditional biology, as an aggregate of different kinds of cells. Energy medicine holds a more holistic perspective, including body, mind, and spirit.

But what if the body were really a liquid crystal under tension, capable of vibrating and resonating at varying frequencies? This is the new paradigm that researcher James L. Oschman, Ph.D., sets forth in Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis.

Imagine that you are made up of interconnected filaments–filaments that for thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has defined and outlined as the meridian system. Chi, or vital life force energy, travels along these invisible roadways, and modern research proposes that the vital “traffic” consists of light particles and is electromagnetic. These vibrational medicine transit systems carry trillions of neurochemical messages as they travel to orchestrate our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. When human touch or specialized microcurrent is applied to the skin, receptors begin their awesome messenger service to every one of our cells. Read about Chinese Medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
