Help! Environmental Allergies

 

 

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.

Recovery and Mental Health

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement is a natural form of therapy, using hormones that are identical to hormones produced by the human body. One may argue that by using plant-derived hormones instead of synthetic hormones, the body will be more receptive. By using natural hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroidal hormones for those who are deficient, one can regain their normal hormonal levels. Combining hormone balancing with healthy lifestyle changes may be our best hope for preventative health against breast cancer, heart attacks, and menopause issues.

Psychological Assessment

Anxiety and Depression are the two leading disorders in the U.S. affecting as much 40 millions adults. Due to the one sided view of psychological disorders; many people are running towards medication without understanding the root cause of their suffering. Through professional psychological assessment as well as practices of hypnosis, meditation, and counseling that our institution offers, one may understand the root cause of their suffering and become liberated of their pain. Dr. Catherine can also prescribe medication in a furthering manner if they see necessary.

Acupuncture and personalized counseling is embraced and naturopathic/ herbal treatments are given.

Prescription Drug Counseling

Would You Like to Reduce the Amount of Pharmaceutical Prescription Drugs You Are Taking?

                          WE CAN HELP.

The United States is only one of two countries in the WORLD that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers.

USA is 5% of the World Population

USA Consumes 75% of the World's Prescription Drugs

Adage: an expression or phrase conveying wisdom, although the expression should not be interpreted literally.

Big Pharma Run Amok

Consider the adage, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”… this proverb resonates HOW western medicine is “broken”.

Prescription Drug Counseling Reduce Get Off Pills Holistic Approach Addiction Side Effects Symptoms Holistic Recovery Natural Medicine Center Lakeland Central FloridaDid you know that only two of the world’s 195 nations (US and New Zealand) allow direct to consumer [DTC] marketing for prescription drugs? DTC advertising was first enacted under President George W. Bush’s term. Sadly, after DTC permissions were in place, and ads became commonplace, further deregulation subverted the US FDA agency’s authority for halting misinformation in DTC ads. Big Pharma Conglomerates have proceeded to air inaccurate and highly biased messages in their radio and TV advertising.  Truth in advertising is dead.

Citizens of the US are drowned by misrepresented strategic prescription drug messages numerous times a day! TV commercials portray happy, good-looking actors who pledge loyalty to certain branded drugs.  Some actors share their gratitude for the ‘healing’ they’ve experienced. Subtly, popular media has chiseled messages into the grey matter of American viewers / listeners. Wise consumers pause to recall that an advertising agency has paid these actors and radio spokespersons. Most other people, though, will accept media messages at face value. Alas, since the governmental regulations have swung toward leniency, Americans seem to believe what the Big Pharma shareholders would like them to believe. “He who pays the piper calls the tune”.

Here’s a second important downside to the fact that mass media is ‘without’ conscience –medical prescribers have been yielding when their patients’ request specific drugs (e.g., research review by Frosch et.al.1). Hence, the Big Pharma conglomerates fix consumer notions that their branded drug will “heal” (invoked via subliminal messaging rather than through explicit persuasion). This unfortunately activates patients to request specific drug products during an office visits. Sometimes the brand drug that a patient has requested is less effective and has a larger side effect liability than older and less expensive prescription drugs. The most important point, however, is that… when a charade like this unfolds… Big Pharma sales TRUMP prescriber training and patient well-being. Further research is needed on the clinical and economic impacts of DTC advertising, but it remains banned in 193 out of 195 nations.

We strive to give only accurate and genuine information to our patients. A coercively sterilized consideration is promised to all patients, which sets-aside the promotions of drug companies, to focus only on patient care.

We will provide:

  1. Disease assessment and management
  2. Drug regimen review

  5. Drug information
  6. Medication therapy management services
  7. Patient-focused activities
  8. Facility focused activities such as establishing policies and procedure for medication use
  9. Out-patient compliance packaging

Need help with your Store purchase? We want to provide you with the best possible buying experience with some Shop FAQs ( Frequently Asked Questions ).

Homeopathic Dilutions

What does the "X" after a homeopathic ingredient mean?


The “X” refers to the level of concentration or dilution of the basic medicinal substance which was used to make the finished product. A basic medicinal substance may be a “Mother tincture” of a plant or animal or the mineral itself.

  • 1X means the dilution contains 1 part basic medicinal substance combined with 9 parts of diluent
  • 2X means the dilution contains 1 part of a 1X tincture with 9 parts diluent. So a 2X dilution is 1 part basic medicinal substance and 99 parts diluent or a 1 % extract, as shown below:
  • 1X: 1 part in 10 or 10%
  • 2X: 1 part in 100 or 1%
  • 3X: 1 part in 1,000 or 0.1%
  • 4X: 1 part in 10,000 or 0.01%… and so on.

What does the "MT" after a homeopathic ingredient mean?

  • “MT” means “Mother Tincture” (described above). Most Mother Tinctures are a 10% extract of the pure plant or animal and generally are designated as a 1X potency.
  • “MT(N)” means that the Mother Tincture for this ingredient in the product contained a 33% extract of the pure plant.
  • “MT(M)” means that the Mother Tincture for this ingredient in the product contained a 50% extract of the pure plant.
