Vitamin/Mineral/Enzyme/Amino acid Glandulars, and/or Homeopathic remedies on an individual basis

Chelation of the heavy metal either oral or intravenous.

Removal from diet and environment of substances toxic to the patient and often a detox program,

Appropriate monitored medication, if necessary,

Removal (in proper order) of silver/mercury amalgam fillings,

Correction of various skeletal maladjustments,

Counseling to meet individual needs and stages of recovery, coordinated with appropriate physical treatment,
