Services
Colon Hydrotherapy
Our colon hydrotherapy sessions use the advanced LIBBE system to gently remove accumulated toxins through warm water irrigation. This FDA-registered procedure supports Phase IV detoxification in our 5 Phase Program by promoting intestinal health and systemic cleansing. Patients receive personalized guidance throughout the process.
Live Blood Microscopy
This diagnostic tool examines fresh blood samples to assess cellular health and identify imbalances. Combined with urine/saliva testing, it helps create personalized detoxification plans by revealing nutritional deficiencies and oxidative stress markers that affect overall wellness.
Far-Infrared Sauna
Our far-infrared sauna therapy mobilizes stored toxins through deep tissue penetration and perspiration. This 30-45 minute session enhances cellular detoxification while promoting circulation and metabolic efficiency as part of our comprehensive wellness programs.
EAV Testing
Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV) identifies food and chemical sensitivities through electrical conductivity measurements. This non-invasive assessment helps create customized avoidance strategies to reduce total body stress load and support immune system balance.
Mild Hyperbaric Therapy
This pressurized oxygen treatment enhances cellular healing by increasing oxygen availability by 51%. Administered in a comfortable chamber, it supports tissue repair and neurological function while complementing our detoxification protocols for optimal health outcomes.

Questions
What makes your approach different from conventional medicine?
We focus on identifying and eliminating root causes of illness through natural detoxification rather than symptom suppression. Our 3.5-hour initial consultations allow comprehensive assessment of environmental and lifestyle factors affecting health.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly, but provide documentation for potential reimbursement. Our pricing includes comprehensive testing and personalized treatment planning not typically covered by standard insurance plans.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your initial 3-4 hour consultation includes urine/saliva screening, physical exam, live blood analysis or EAV testing, and personalized product recommendations to begin your detoxification journey.
Are your detox programs safe?
All therapies are administered by licensed professionals using FDA-registered equipment. We follow strict safety protocols and monitor your progress throughout the 5 Phase Optimal Health Program to ensure proper detoxification support.
How long does treatment typically last?
Most patients complete a 10-12 session detox series over 4-6 weeks. The 5 Phase Program is designed for gradual, lasting lifestyle changes with periodic re-evaluations to maintain optimal health.
Can children receive treatment?
Yes, we offer modified programs for children under 18 with age-appropriate consultations and therapies. Parental consent is required for all minor patients seeking naturopathic care services.
