Alternative Healing Treatment Centers
Did you ever consider treating a genetic disorder with diet? Doctors at an alternative treatment center in New York are studying nutrigenomics, which is the interaction between diet and genes, at the Continuum Center for Health and Healing. Diet and exercise are considered a "cornerstone of wellness" at alternative centers from the East Coast to the West Coast that provide primary health care for families and children, as well as treat cancer and even substance abuse.-

Stress reduction through meditation promotes health and wellness. The Continuum Center for Health and Healing is staffed by doctors providing primary health care for adults and children. It integrates all aspects of life into health, including family, community and environmental toxins. The center promotes wellness and illness prevention, but also treats acute and chronic conditions. The doctors support wellness through diet, exercise, stress reduction, self-care and spiritual renewal. Treatments focus on lifestyle changes in conjunction with natural therapies such as botanicals and natural food supplements, instead of pharmaceuticals, for symptom relief. Other therapies include acupuncture and mind/body treatments for stress reduction. Conventional treatments for chronic conditions are not ignored, but the doctors' focus is on strengthening the body's natural healing mechanism--the immune system. The center is located at:

Moores Cancer Center

Cancer treatment without surgery. Moores Cancer Center is located at the University of California's San Diego Medical Center. The center uses the Livingston-Wheeler Therapy to treat cancer. You should seek advice from a qualified physician before replacing standard cancer treatments with this treatment. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, a trained physician, claims she has identified a microbe called Progenitor Cryptoceds that causes cancer when the immune system is compromised. She uses a vaccine she developed to stimulate the immune system to create antibodies to destroy the tumors. She treats patients with a vegetarian whole foods diet, digestive enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, ant-parasite medications and enemas to strengthen the immune system. Psychosocial intervention and spiritual therapies are also a part of the treatment. No clinical trials have been done on the effectiveness of the vaccine, but it has not shown any toxic effect. Side effects include aching, fever and tenderness at the vaccination site. The cost for the 10 day treatment program ranges from $6,800 to $7, 400 dollars. Maintenance is $400 to $500 dollars a month. For additional information contact:
