We provide conservative and traditional therapies.

They are conservative in terms of best conserving your health and your resources including financial resources in a time when healthcare costs are sky-rocketing.

Natural in terms of traditional therapies that have stood the test of time and preserve and encourage your own natural and inherent healing abilities. Acupuncture is at least 4000 years old, herbs go back to biblical times (read the first book on holistic health in Leviticus) as does massage and manipulation.

Detoxification crosses all cultural boundaries and goes back to the Bible and can bee seen in Greek, Roman, Red Indian and many other cultures.

At the Holistic Health Clinic at Lake Lure we use acupuncture and oriental medicine which according to the World Health Organization is the most practiced form of healing in the world today. We also use the Computron/EAV machine for screening patients for energetic imbalances.

We use acupuncture and energy medicine to determine your energy levels and energetic level of health. Our acupuncture techniques are traditional and classical in scope and combine 5 element and eight principle approaches.

We provide massage and manipulative therapies to relax and stimulate the body to build resistance to disease and develop more energy and greater levels of well-being.

We provide a complete detoxification program to clean the body and emotions of toxic foci. Detoxification focuses on:

Bowel cleansing using fiber, herbs, enzymes and nutrients and colonic irrigation. Many toxins that overwhelm the kidneys, liver and gallbladder are cleared only through bowel cleansing.

Flushing the liver, gallbladder and kidneys using herbs, nutrients, massage and acupuncture.

We provide lymphatic stimulation using massage and a lymph machine. Many people develop clogged lymphatic vessels so the toxins cannot get out of the tissues and accumulate in the tissues and they become toxic. Lymphatic therapy helps open up these vessels and channels into the circulatory system and out through the kidneys and liver.

Recent research suggests three out of five Americans will be infected with parasites at some point in their lives. Proper diagnosis and treatment of parasites is essential to good health.

Cleanse the tissues using steam cabinets and ozonated baths to help toxins come out through the skin and homeopathic and herbal remedies to speed up the metabolism and help the detoxification process.

We provide counseling to resolve the emotions from an energetic perspective.

Note: A person whose beliefs, thoughts, and emotions are chaotic has a very hard time healing. Often physical problems are the result of emotional imbalances and unsupportive belief systems. For example people who deal with their unresolved anger often experience a spontaneous detoxification of their liver and gallbladder.

After detoxification we use nutritional support, including dietary advice to build a strong healthy body. The body needs the right nutrients to rebuild health. It also needs to avoid putting more toxins in the tissues. We educate patients regarding nutrition, water purity and how to avoid air pollutants and environmental contaminants. Part of our nurturing program includes the use of:

Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals/Herbs,
Enzymes, Homeopathics

Unhealthy electromagnetic effects can be generated from dental fillings, from electrical and home appliances, radio, computers, TV and telephones and from geopathic stress. The United States Congress' Office of Technology Assessment recommends a policy of prudent avoidance of EMF's. We show you what to do. The USA Department of Health, Education and Welfare in 1979 reported that geopathic stress may be a factor in between 40-50% of all cancers.

We refer to biological and aware dentists who acknowledge the energetic relationship between the teeth and the rest of the body. For instance we know the importance of healthy teeth, gums and jaw to energetic health. Individual teeth are associated with acupuncture meridians and toxic producing jaw infections have a detrimental effect on the meridian involved.

We refer patients to dentists who realize the importance of cleaning up pockets of dental infection and "dead" teeth. We also realize the importance of an even bite in terms of cranial and spinal misalignments that occur from malocclusions.

We also acknowledge that the EPA has declared mercury a hazardous waste in 1988 and by law it cannot be thrown in the trash, buried in the ground or put in a landfill, but for some reason it can be put in people's mouths and so we support biological dentistry which acknowledges the hazards of mercury toxicity. Studies by the World Health Organization show that a single silver mercury amalgam can release 3-17 micrograms of mercury per day.

We treat addictions and use detoxification, acupuncture, herbs and manipulation to get results.

We provide educational workshops on energy medicine, acupuncture, body therapies, stress, emotions management, self-talk, communication skills, herbs, detoxification, nutrition and healing.

Computron/EAV Screening Device gives a very accurate assessment of your energetic health and can discover imbalances that many conventional methods cannot. You can then follow up with other tests to confirm your evaluation.

We use muscle testing, urine, blood (dark screen microscopy), saliva and digestive stool analysis.

We are willing to work with your physician on a collegial basis.

We don't pretend to know it all, and are willing to learn.

We work with the patient as a partner in their health and not from the standpoint of "the expert." At the same time we pride ourselves in being professionals in our work.

We integrate a number of natural and traditional modalities which together are more effective than apart.

We educate the patient and strive to see the interrelationships between mind/body and spirit.

At the Health Restoration Center, we are always prepared to refer patients to other practitioners when appropriate.
