Hyaluronic Acid is getting a lot of attention lately as a topical and internal treatment for a multitude of conditions ranging from burns and skin ulcers to arthritis. I am particularly impressed by it’s topical use for aging skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in the body’s connective tissue that can bind up to 1000 times its weight in water. This makes it a very effective hydrating agent that can increase skin’s moisture content and reduces wrinkles and sagging for that reason. Many companies now make face creams with hyaluronic acid which can be beneficial but I am seeing even better results with applying a few drops of a pure hyaluronic acid serum on the skin after cleansing, followed by your usual moisturizer.

Hello Everyone,
The office will be closed for a short break between October 14th and 19th.  We will re-open at 8:30 am on the 20th.  Please contact us today or tomorrow if there is anything that you need.  Keep in mind that you can schedule appointments and refill most supplements via my website. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hello Everyone, 
Flu Nosode is available!  This homeopathic liquid preparation is made each year based upon the flu strains predicted to be most prevalent and is one of my favorite ways to prevent the flu in addition to proper nutrition, good sleep and regular exercise.  Even though Covid is the virus that everyone is focused on right now, the flu is actually circulating in addition to several other respiratory viruses.  The Flu Nosode is given on a schedule throughout the winter, is safe for all ages and does not interact with any medications or other vaccines. 

I also carry all of your favorite immune support products such as Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Probiotics, Quercetin, A-Biotic, Berbercap, EHB, Immune Dx, Cold Dx and more.  Let us know if we can help you come up with an immune support strategy for this season. 

I wanted to mention that I have been seeing a number of patients with Covid-19 and have effective strategies for supporting you through the actual infection and then helping you to recover.  The most common after effect from a Covid infection that I see is profound fatigue.  Fortunately, there are very effective treatments for this type of fatigue to get you back on your feet.  If you do get sick, please schedule a 15 to 30 minute consult.  We will advise you if you should come in person or schedule a phone or telemedicine visit. 

I look forward to speaking to you soon!

It has been so good to see all of you again after being out of the office for awhile. 

I have decided to extend the Health Fair Lab Special through the end of June for those of you who missed it, so please call us right away to get a time slot for your blood draw.  This is a fantastic opportunity to check blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, thyroid and more for a very reasonable price.
