Restorative Health Programs

Restorative Health Programs  

Restorative Health Programs are to help correct imbalances in your body's metabolism that accumulate with stress and aging.  Supporting your metabolism in this way can often improve energy and eliminate symptoms that prevent most of us from living a full life.  A customized program, based on a detailed history and lab test results often helps restore health and resolve or at least improve cholesterol problems, menopause symptoms, problems with sexual function, migraine headaches, chronic fatigue and more.

Dr. Chene creates individualized programs for many of her patient to provide a comprehensive, systematic approach for each individual to provide a personalized program using bio-identical hormones, vitamins, minerals and specific beneficial herbs to optimize health.  When using a restorative program Dr Chene helps the patient obtain extensive lab testing at a significantly reduced cost in order to make it more affordable to most. Follow up intervals can be by telephone consult at times or every 4 month visits and as needed.

To find out how you can obtain a personalized program for optimizing your own health please make an appointment with my office for lab testing and to obtain a history form which you can complete before your appointment.  

Alternative Allergy Therapy

Dr. Chene now offers Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT).
Relieve or significantly reduce your symptoms associated with
an allergy or sensitivity.

Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) is a non-invasive treatment that effectively addresses the many symptoms caused by allergies and sensitivities.

Allergies and sensitivities are caused by an error: the body is responding inappropriately to a harmless substance. AAT treats the overreaction by reducing the stress on the body in relation to the offending substance, creating a positive association so that the body may respond more appropriately. AAT merges 21st century science with 3,000-year-old traditional acupuncture principles in offering an effective alternative in the treatment of symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

Non-invasive

No needles

No drugs

No herbal remedies

Why I Recommend Supplements

I do recommend supplements for people who wish to attain their optimal health. The reasons for this are multiple:

1. The first is that most of the food supply has been grown farm land which has been depleted by current farming methods over the past 30 years. When only simple nitrogen is added for fertilizer the plants may appear normal but are actually inferior to the organically grown counterpart in which organic matter is returned to the soil for fertilizer.

2. The second reason is that, in hunting and gathering days, it's estimated that we needed to consume between 4,000-5,000 calories to maintain. It's no problem to obtain sufficient vitamins and minerals etc, in 4,000-5,000 calories of fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat. However, it's obvious that we cannot eat this number of calories these days and maintain a reasonable weight.  

3. The third reason is that most of us eat some processed foods. Since foods require vitamins, minerals and enzymes for their metabolism in the body, when we eat most processed foods, some of the nutrients that they   originally contained are no longer present in amounts sufficient to provide for their metabolism. Therefore, if you do not take supplemental nutrients, your body will actually have to donate the necessary factors to metabolize the nutritionally inadequate processed food and you are likely to become depleted of some nutrients unless you supplement.

4. Some deficiencies actually cause people to crave the wrong types of food. An example of this is magnesium deficiency which often causes chocolate craving. Having adequate levels of necessary nutrients may help weight loss efforts in some cases and at least insure that persons on a restricted diet are getting the proper micro-nutrients,

In July of 2002 the AMA actually recanted it's long held stance (due to the overwhelming evidence to the contrary) regarding vitamins and actually issued a recommendation that physicians advise their patients to use vitamin supplements.

How To Bring Flax Into Your Diet

You can buy flax at your local health food store. Unless they sell large quantities of it, you should find it in the refrigerated area, so that it does not become rancid. You get more benefit out of the seeds if they are ground (a clean coffee grinder works better than your teeth) or at least bruised (such as with a mortar and pestle) as intact seeds pass through your system without full benefit.

At home flax should be refrigerated or frozen to prevent the fragile oil in them from becoming rancid. Rancid flax will smell like paint and will loose its slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The seeds should not be exposed to high heat or air for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, just buy a small amount (1 lb. or less), in order to keep your quantity fresh.


EASY IDEAS FOR USING FLAX

Eat plain with a spoon in a bowl as a snack
Add to hot or cold cereal,
Sprinkle on salad, plain yogurt with fruit, cucumbers
Spread on sandwiches (peanut or almond butter sandwiches)-may make paste with a few oily nuts such as pecans in food processor
Mix into dough of cookies, breads, muffin
Blend with smoothies, potato dishes,.


FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS:  

FLAX HAYSTACKS

Chocolate chips (preferably dark)
Flax seeds or meal
Orange Peel (make sure if frozen that water has evaporated off )
Cinnamon to taste (optional)

Melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler. Remove from heat source. Add in as much flax as the chocolate will hold while chocolate is still warm. Then add in optional orange peel and cinnamon to taste.  
Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to cool and become firm. Store and enjoy in a quantity of  2-1/2   Tablespoons of flax per day.
