Help! Environmental Allergies

Darla Willmore — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:51:47 +0000

Spring is the season prized for lovely new “blooms”, but as many of us have noticed, ALLERGIES roll in during our Spring Season in Florida. Allergy sufferers are bothered by sinus or tension headaches, body aches, excessive mucous, sneezing and tearing or swelling eyes. The unfortunate truth is: Allergies aren’t curable, we can only work towards lessening symptoms. The mechanism underlying an environmentally instigated allergic response is the immune system.

Treat Your Symptoms

Taking natural herbal remedies is the best way to get rid of your allergy symptoms. Keep in mind that MANY supplements are misbranded—shoppers must be very intentional—you should buy supplements only from a trusted source. We recommend the quality supplements obtained from trained herbalists, or a doctor that you trust.

Distance Yourself from Pollen- Dust- or Mold

I’ve trained patients to stay away from the natural substances and chemical entities each person is sensitized to. Patients who are allergic to pollen should dwell indoors during the peak pollen dissemination intervals [8 am – 12 pm and 5:00pm – 9:00pm]. Humidity is also a factor to contemplate as an allergy-sufferer plans out his/her nature tours. The general rule of thumb is to expect higher pollen counts on hot , dry and windy days.

Cook with Ginger

Ginger is a natural antihistamine and decongestant. It will provide you with relief from allergy symptoms by helping to open up your bronchial tubes.

Also eating apples, carrots, red onions, black tea and collard greens will also help your food fight off allergens.

Lobelia

Lobelia inflata is an herb that is used to treat asthma, allergies, whooping cough, congestion, and bronchitis. In the past, this useful herb had some utility for tobacco withdrawal, and to assist smokers in their pledge to stop smoking.

How we can help you at The Natural Medicine Center of Lakeland:

Thermography

The image above is a high resolution infrared image of a client’s head who suffers from environmental allergies. The red and white HOT areas of the image represent INFLAMMATION. As you can see the client imaged has inflammation around her eyes, and in her sinus cavities. She also has some inflammation in her neck where her lymphatic system is. This is an indicator that her body is having an immune response to her allergens. Thermography is an innovative medical discovery tool. We are able to see if there are areas in your body that need extra support to prevent disease and illness. If we see signs that your immune system is struggling in certain areas of your body, we can help you treat the issue. Then in the future, we can repeat a thermal scan in the area of interest to make sure you are on the mend.

Allergy testing

Since it is in your best interest to stay away and defend yourself from your allergens, taking an allergy test is a great first step. We offer a simple and inexpensive in office blood test that will not only tell you what you are allergic to, but also how severe your allergy is.

Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (often short handed: PUFAs) –

have anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties. People who have food allergies benefit preferentially from Omega 3 supplements, as Fish Oil and various purified PUFA capsules are superb for controlling intestinal allergies.

RIF – Resolve Internal Fire –

A proprietary blend of herbs, with Curcumin as its primary ingredient. Curcumins are plant derived and cleanly extracted from a turmeric rhizome plant. This herbal blend also features licorice root. The herbal acts as a POTENT anti-inflammatory. As allergic symptoms have genesis from inflamed mucous membranes—this blended herb will help!

Balancing Hormones

Elite Strategies — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:19:32 +0000

Balancing hormones can be influenced by a number of factors in men and women. Fluctuations in hormone levels occur throughout the lifecycle, some are just a natural part of aging while others may be the result of stress, toxic exposures, diet, or unhealthy sleep patterns. It is important to monitor your hormone levels throughout the lifespan and take action early to address imbalances before it affects your health or quality of life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Catherine Onuoha is knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. She takes the time to listen to all my health concerns and has helped me to understand why certain treatments are beneficial. I know that she is on my side in addressing the cause of my condition in a holistic fashion, not just treating my symptoms. I am very grateful to be her patient – thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I was looking for a more natural clinic and I found Natural medicine Center I had no idea how much it would change our lives. My husband, myself, and children are seen here for various reasons.
My daughter, who has some significant mental health problems,  has been treated here and is doing better now than she has in years.
It's nice to have a facility where the practioner is so knowledgeable in the way the human body works and can help you overcome various issues.
When you're in an appointment with Dr. Catherine you don't feel rushed, or like you're just a number. There is real care and concern.
When I say I don't know what my family would do without this clinic would be a huge understatement.
I can't recommend them highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Catherine Onuoha is NOT a doctor. She is a pharmacist with a PhD. She purports to be an expert in many different fields and treats conditions that are far outside her area of expertise. She has tried to treat me for mental health issues while also treating family members for cancer and epilepsy. Clearly these are different areas of expertise and require experts (I.e. real doctors) in each area. She severely misdiagnosed my problems which led to them worsening. Do not trust this practice with your health.

The clinic offers so many natural health and wellness services (too many mention) and the consultation with the Dr is worth every penny. She has personally changed my life and so happy to be a part of the clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On 9/6/2020 I took my wife to the Natural Medicine Center for an alternative to mammograms. Mammograms are useless for my wife due to breast density. My wife decided on the Thermal imaging. She was very pleased with the results.
After my wife’s consultation was over Dr. Catherine asked me if I had any health concerns. I explained to her that I had pre-Diabetes, High Cholesterol, and extremely low vitamin D levels, 17 to be exact. I had also been lethargic and severe muscle pain. Dr. Catherine told me that she could help that immediately with a shot. I received a shot that day. Within 4 hours I felt way better. I have continued to receive weekly shots of Vitamin D since 9/6/2020.
My health has greatly improved, all the muscle pain is gone. I believe that Dr. Catherine saved my life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spent many years at the doctors for my various issues and doctor Onouha spent the time to actually seek out the core issue. I am forever thankful for the work she has done for me and my family. She empowers patients to take control of their own health and helps navigate those choppy waters. Now, I feel in control of my health and nothing beats that feeling

My appointment at Natural Medicine Center last week was wonderful. Winslow did a great job! My appointment was at the end of the day, so we had time to chat after my appointment. I found her to be very down to earth and very helpful. Mr. Ken was also great, and we had a great time just sharing things from our backgrounds. I would definitely recommend this team. I had not had an appointment since Dr. Onuoha took over and was a little apprehensive but was very satisfied with my appointment.

Why am I opting out of mammograms and doing this [Thermography] breast cancer screening instead?

Breast cancer is over diagnosed and over treated. And yet paradoxically mammograms too often fail to detect cancers that kill. It's time for a radical shift

PLEASE, ladies, consider adding Breast Thermography to your screening.

It has changed my life.

Laura G. – Lakeland, Florida

I was grateful to finally have a thermography session. It was simple and easy. I was happy to learn about my breast health without having to radiate to determine. It was also useful to learn other things about my health that I now have the opportunity to address before they become more serious. I could learn about this worthwhile and safe diagnostic opportunity in Lakeland, Florida, which I would highly recommend to everyone.
