Alternative Health – Functional Medicine

Be My Friend – http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth

When treating a patient we strive to provide more than just rapid relief of your immediate symptoms. We focus on your overall health examining nutritional, metabolic, immune, hormonal, structural, and any toxicological factors in which you may be involved. Through a personal and comprehensive examination, we try to get to the source of your condition enabling you to restore your health. We also look at emotional and psychological factors as these create the background which shapes every aspect of your health and well-being.
Most conditions whether it involves heart disease, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, headaches, chronic infections, allergies, elevated cholesterol, depression, anxiety, PMS, menopause, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. are manageable if the underlying causes are more fully understood. That doesn’t mean we only use the latest fad or herb to cover up your symptoms. Rather, we apply scientific principles in a practical and logical way to solve your medical needs.

That means asking the right questions, careful listening, complete examinations of your physical and biochemical state and understanding how you function within your own environment. If necessary, select labs that identify your nutritional needs, allergies, hormonal status, metabolic efficiency, etc. can be performed. When it is all put together, a practical and personalized plan will be agreed upon that is designed to not only get rid of symptoms you don’t have to live with but also create a healthier, happier, more vital you.

  1. As a CAM provider (massage) I VERY VERY VERY thankful for the information
    and all the vids I’ma adding you as a friend on “myspace” and subscribing
    to your channel….Very valuable info I recommend EVERYONE do the
    same…again thank you very much!!

  2. I agree with your philosophy 100% We don’t have Health Care in America..we
    have Sick Care. You are the health care of the future.

  3. you arent going to do the FM movement any good when they certify people
    with no medical training whatsoever,there are nutritionist(not dieticians )
    and fitness trainers who have paid for this certification and are
    practising FM.That doesnt make sense.

  4. wycieczka1 True, except if you have hidden infections or toxicity from
    mercury or pesticides, or if you have a nutrient poor diet your positive
    mental state is under attack from more than just emotional issues.
    Functional Medicine also includes mind-body – attacking the problem from
    both ends – although you are correct that he omitted that.

  5. This is what everyone needs to realize that our western medicine only
    treats the symptoms but does not deal with the real problem to begin
    with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the
    problem while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we
    are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few
    dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine
    needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

  6. chiropractors have excellent training programs and for all but the serious
    of illnesses (source:mercola(dot)com/newdoctor)

  7. Weight loss programs are dying for individuals to to try their new products
    to demonstrate that they really help people lose weight. Well you must
    check out this website that will send free samples to your home, its the
    best way to get free diet supplements 🙂 You can get them here

  8. this guy has only limited training in medicine, but he seems to claim great
    knowledge on the subject. all he’s talking about is what he knows about
    nutrition. doesn’t seem ground-breaking to me, but i have a BS in nutrition
    so maybe it is new to someone else.

  9. This is cool. I have been having so much problems here. And I finally
    talked to my brother lately and he said that I inherited the Psychological
    disorder (such as extreme or paranoia) from my mother. I don’t really know
    if I am sick or not but for sure I pretty much hear that I am sick whenever
    I talk to my brother. 🙁

  10. You can measure certain neurotransmitter levels in the blood and urine,
    however, 1) The amount in the blood or urine doesn’t tell you the amount in
    the brain. 2) There is no standard for an ideal level of neurotransmitters
    3) blood and urine levels of neurotransmitters will vary dramatically from
    hour to hour. There is no definitive scientific study which says
    “depression is caused by this specific neurotransmitter level being below
    or above a specific level.”

  11. unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with
    pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem
    and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through
    nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

  12. This approach to medicine isn’t about taking a “natural medicine” it’s
    about finding out what is causing the acid reflux to begin with and
    eliminating it. I myself had acid reflux for years but totally handled it
    through nutrition. At some point I’ll do a video on this with Natalie.

  13. OK, video description including link is now posted. I have two more video
    of Dr. Bellonzi coming up. One deals with food allergies and the other with
    weight loss. Thanks for watching.

  14. would you then side with the insurance companies who refuse pharmaceutical
    treatments? For prescriptions meds, it seems pharmaceutical and insurance
    companies would be at odds with each other.

  15. Thank you so much for this very relevant information. I’m leaving my
    psychiatrist of 12years in order to find a doc near me who practices
    functional medicine.

  16. Yep you do. The best way to eat veggies, fruit and nuts is uncooked.
    Cooking especially destroys the enzyme content. Certain vegetables I don’t
    like eating raw so I cook them just a little bit at low heat.

  17. Time to change our path through awareness and education! Will you be a
    guest on my internet radio show? My husband has been in remission
    (Sarcoidosis) for 19 months now through functional medicine and natural
    remedies! Look forward to hearing from you. Dani

  18. Interesting subject. I’m looking forward to finishing this video later, but
    I just had to say that I’ve never seen someone with more letters after
    their name than Vincent Bellonzi B.S.,D.C.,C.C.N., C.S.C.S., A.C.S.M. H/FI

  19. @psychetruth yes, but this eastern and holistic medical bullshit isnt any
    better. most of the time the “cures” are just placebos and overpriced
    animal shit sold because white idiots are attracted to different cultures,
    so it just has to be labeled “easter” and people will buy it. sure, certain
    methods of eastern medicine can help, the people of india first invented
    vaccines but the kind of crap you promote is just bullshit. you care just
    as much about profit as the pharmaceutical companies.

  20. all very good, But one minute he warns of ‘labels’, and next he is using
    some the most bogus evil labels of our age that are the bane for millions
    of our children and their loved ones, ‘ADD’ ‘ADHD@. He mentions them as
    thought they actually are real. THEY ARE NOT REAL! And there is no such
    think as ‘chemical imblance’ neither.

  21. Check out “The UltraMind Solution” by Mark Hyman MD or how to “fix a broken
    brain” by treating depression & anxiety AS SYSTEMIC CONDITIONS, not
    strictly as mental illnesses. He talks a lot about using magnesium in
    treating anxiety/ depression. He might use IV magnesium injection b/c that
    is the best delivery. The 2nd best delivery is by using the skin. It’s
    called transdermal magnesium chloride in a foot bath for 1/2 hr. Unlike
    Epsom salts it will last 24 hrs by relaxing the body & mind.

  22. The best thing I’ve found for the physical side of depression is the
    Omeaga-3 EPA, plus lots of therapy for the other parts.

  23. Well Serenity, you might not want to talk to your brother about yourself.
    See the videos “Friends & Haters”, “How to feel like crap” “Intimacy” and
    “Secrets to Intimacy”. All these videos are in my channel. See if they
    don’t help you figure out what to do.
