Non-Medication Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

/in , , , , , , /by

Three big mood disorders – anxiety, depression, and insomnia – are experienced by all, but sometimes to a point where quality of life is compromised.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation, or CES, uses simple alpha waves to improve brain function and reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia. While contraindicated during pregnancy and those with cardiac pacemakers, this FDA approve device is simple with minimal and limiting side effects.  The Veterans Administration and many police organizations use CES for post traumatic stress disorder.

“The Alpha-Stim is a great alternative to medications,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “Drugs have side effects, but the Alpa-Stim is well tolerated, easy to use, and much safer than medications.”

Many medical studies indicate improvement in chronic fatigue, focus, and memory.  CES has shown to decrease chronic pain, especially those who suffer from fibromyalgia.  Attention deficit disorders and addictive personalities have demonstrated improvement as well.  Many dentist use if before procedures to reduce anxiety.

Heavy metal pollutants can create health hazards and reduce the normal physiological processes from optimal function.  Additionally, deficiencies in anti-oxidants and vitamins can lead to a higher risk for age related disorders.

Chelation therapy reduces heavy metals from the body as a detoxification process and supplements of vitamins and anti-oxidants are given  to restore recommended levels.  Treatment is aimed at removing and detoxing accumluations of harmful levels of aluminum, iron, copper, and toxic heavy metals which enhance free radical damage. Chelation might be useful to prevent or treat rapid oxidation of LDL or bad cholesterol, poor circulation, and heart disease brought on by iron overload. In addition, this combination of IV chelation/nutritional therapy has helped those with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma, and may offer help with chronic fatigue and improve overall sense of well-being.

This functional medicine approach incorporates complementary and alternative medical as well as age managment concepts for well-being and possible longevity.
