Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are often debilitating conditions that share a number of symptoms such as aches, sleep disturbances and fatigue. These two conditions are causing a rise in disability rates disproportionate to our capacity to identify and treat them.

Practitioners of integrative medicine assume that there is no magic drug that serves as a single cure for this syndrome. They assume that there are several sub-clinical problems like single players in an orchestra. Viral infections, parasitic infections, Candida, hypoglycemia, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, heavy metal toxicity, sick thyroid syndrome, and immune dysfunction can all play a role to orchestrate the cacophony of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.

Prior to diagnosing either of these conditions, illnesses such as Lupus, severe anemia, severe heart disease, and kidney disorders have to be ruled out. Once the diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia has been made, then listening to the patient, correcting the immune system, treating infections and establishing a good nutritional program are the pivotal approaches we use to help the patient start the healing process. When anxiety and severe intolerances to foods and chemicals are overwhelming to the patient, we often start with a more gentle approach called NAET. (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique). NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free process, combining Kinesiology, Oriental Medicine, Traditional allopathic medicine’s wisdom, Acupressure, and nutrition.

Preventive Medicine is committed to long-term health and happiness. We partner with our patients in a compassionate and caring relationship and empower them with knowledge and hope to bring about their healing.

We are patient centered and passionate about working with our patients to ensure them long term health and happiness. We take the time needed to listen to them, explain their lab and test results and answer any questions that arise. We then develop an individualized treatment plan that focuses on the individual, the whole patient who may have a disease, rather than manage a disease that one may have.
