Acupuncture has been practiced in the Orient for thousands of years and is used to treat virtually all conditions. In my practice I specialize in the system known as Classical Five Elements. Instead of just addressing symptoms, this form of medicine takes into consideration the entire person-body, emotions, mind.
I use mainly two techniques:
First, I often avoid the use of needles altogether but in cases where needles are warranted, I use extremely fine gauge ones (thinner than a human hair). All needles are fresh from the pack and not reused. Normally I insert the needle into a point then immediately remove it.
Some of my best acupuncture patients are children who look forward to the needles.
Second, Korean Hand Therapy is extremely effective for pain relief. It's one of my favorite needle-less techniques. In 9 out of 10 cases, pain is greatly reduced by simply placing a small pellet on the hand in a location that corresponds to the place on the body where the pain is felt. No needles necessary!
A few of the conditions I successfully treat include auto-immune disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivities, headaches, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety as well as Lyme disease and its co-infections.
We use only the purest excipient free supplements available on the market from companies that go the extra mile to ensure that products free from magnesium stearate and other fillers that prevent absorption by the body.
I continue to keep up with Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA) techniques as taught by Dr. Bob Marshall, founder of Premier Research Labs (PRL). I also incorporate Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt's Autonomic Response Testing (ART) into my practice. In this day and age, no one teacher has all the answers . . . but I have found on my journey that too many practitioners, MDs included, are living in the past and are simply not up on what happens to people when the environment they live in has become bombarded with toxins.
When appropriate, I work with a patient's medical doctor or other practitioner and I refer patients to Lyme-literate MDs and other health-care workers.
No one protocol works for everyone. That's why we test with ART and QRA to target the nutrients, homeopathics and drainers that are just right for you.
When appropriate, I will use a computer screening device to assist in putting together a nutritional regimen for the patient. This comes in handy especially for pinpointing what flower essences the body/mind/spirit would like in order to move forward more quickly. The emotional component needs to be addressed and EDS testing is one way we use to gather information.
Oxygen-fed Scalar Transmitter Tissue Detoxification System is non-invasive and non-cytotoxic. Helps detoxify tissue by assisting in dissolving lympth blockages and restoring normal lymph flow. Patients find it relaxing and after a treatment, many feel like they've been on vacation.
"About 25 years ago I started having stomach and knee pains. Medical doctors could not figure out what was causing them. "It's your nerves", they said. So, I started seeing holistic healers who helped me a lot, but then I had to struggle with multiple food sensitivities that had come to light, and I lost a lot of weight. About one year ago things became much worse when extremely low energy was added to the list, and the weight loss became alarming. I feel so fortunate to have found Alexis Rotella. After seeing her for 2 months my energy level is gradually improving. I know that it's going to be a journey to regain my health, but now I have hope that I can continue
to live in my own home and be independent. Thank you Alexis!"
