Dear Friends,

The biggest thing these days here is that we are now offering a fabulous new therapy for symptoms of low estrogen and testosterone in both women and men. It consists of painlessly placing small pellets of bioidentical hormones under the skin of the hip. The procedure is done right in the office, and only takes a few minutes.

I have found that these little rice-sized pellets are able to do an excellent job of eliminating hot flashes, night sweats, irritablity, insomnia, forgetfulness, and other symptoms of perimenopause and post-menopause. They also reduce menstrual migraines significantly. The side effects of hormone pellet implants appear to be far less than any other current hormone replacement therapy, and, therefore, represent a significant improvement in hormone replacement therapy. These natural hormones are derived from soybeans, and exactly match what is already in your body.

This treatment is not new, but is very underutilized, with only a handful of doctors across the country currently using them. There are, in fact, over 80 references on hormone pellet implants in the mainstream medical literature. Hormone pellet implants have been in use for over 50 years, and their track record of success and safety is unsurpassed.

Men with low testosterone levels also stand to benefit a great deal from subdermal testosterone pellet therapy. Greater libido, more energy, stronger muscles, and better mental concentration are some of the benefits seen.

Another very exciting thing that’s new around here is that we now have a wonderful medical acupuncturist sharing the office with us. Her name is Dr. Catherine Chong and she is wonderful! She does acupuncture for many different conditions. That includes helping people to quit smoking. To read more about acupuncture, and what it’s used for, just click on http://www.medicalacupuncture.org/acu_info/articles/aboutacupuncture.html
which is information from the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, in which Dr. Chong is a member.

Dr. Chong is also knowledgeable in the area of Chinese herbology, and has many herbal formulas right here in the office that she can use to treat your particular condition.

If you’re reading this, it means you have entered the 21st century electronically speaking, which is good, because I really believe that we can use modern technology to improve the way we do healthcare. It makes communication easier and faster. You can email us, and we can email you back. And it can improve the way medicine is practiced, by making the most up-to-date information available to everyone almost immediately. There is so much that can be done with computers and the internet now, it’s amazing. I am hoping that soon, our office will begin moving toward becoming “paperless” and “wireless”.

As always, we want to say thank you in a tangible way if someone you refer to us comes for an appointment. We do that by giving you a $10 credit on your next visit, or on supplements. So if you are happy with our services to you, tell lots of other people, and you could get some free nutraceuticals or even a whole office visit at no charge! As always, we sincerely appreciate the trust you put in us for your healthcare and the people you send to us.

God bless!
