Naturopathic doctors combine the wisdom and power of nature with the advancement of modern science. Trained in traditional healing methods, principles and practices, naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic, proactive prevention and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. By using established protocols that minimize the risk of harm, naturopathic doctors help facilitate the body’s intrinsic ability to restore and maintain optimal health. The role of naturopath is to identify and remove barriers to good health by helping to create optimal environment for recovery and healing.

We help our patients to understand general causes of loss of energy or fatigue, focus and emotional issues, weight challenges, hair & skin conditions, sleep disorders, and decreased sexual desire and much more. Instead of finding a cure for health issues, Dr. Gorinshteyn focuses on restoring biochemical balance in the body. Through improved personal diet, personalized supplement plan, plant based products and holistic care, we teach patients how to improve overall health naturally which can lead to a happy and healthy long fulfilling life.

One of Dr. Gorinshteyn’s greatest joys as a traditional naturopath is seeing an improved quality of life in his patients.

A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) simply stated, is a screening test that measures the mineral content of your hair. However, a hair tissue mineral analysis is much more than a test for minerals. Providing a blueprint of one's biochemistry, a hair tissue mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about your metabolic rate, energy levels, carbohydrate tolerance, stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity. This screening test can also be used to reduce the guesswork involved when recommending nutritional supplements and dietary modifications.

Is Hair Analysis A Valid Basis For Evaluation Of A Person's Chemistry?

Blood tests and urine tests obviously provide important information about a person's biochemical status, but they only evaluate the fluids in the body. However, the vast majority of biochemical functions actually take place inside the cells themselves. Of course, we can't conveniently take snips out of the various organs of a person's body in order to evaluate what is going on in the cells, but there are cells conveniently available to us, the cells of the hair. Through extensive research and correlation of data, it has been established that there are reliable relationships between the levels of minerals in the hair and other tissues of the body. Thus, analysis of the mineral content of an individual's hair can provide us with a general 'blueprint' of the mineral content in the rest of the body's tissues. Since these minerals are crucial to the functioning of enzymes, hormones and other biochemical systems which sustain life, it is possible to read this 'blueprint' and see where m etabolic patterns are deviating from normal.

Another benefit of hair analysis is that it may be used to assist the health care professional to pinpoint the development of metabolic dysfunctions often before symptoms manifest. While mineral imbalances in the body do eventually show up in the blood serum, they will not do so until the condition is so advanced that the individual is often experiencing overt symptoms. Tissue mineral analysis allows us to determine that an imbalance exists, before the imbalance begins to manifest disturbances on a symptomatic level. Therefore, the imbalance can often be corrected through nutritional therapy even before a person begins to suffer from metabolic symptoms.

Detoxification with Chelated Minerals

Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Aluminum

Organic chelation is the natural process of building an amino acid, peptide, or polypeptide fence around a specific metal so that it is available for absorption and utilization within the body.

There is a considerable difference between chelated minerals and inorganic minerals. Chelated minerals consist of a mineral attached to an amino acid to assure better absorption than is possible with inorganic minerals. Minerals attached to orotic acid (a nucleic acid) are known as orotates and as such are more easily transported across the cell membrane and into the cell.

The same holds true for mineral aspartates which consist of various minerals attached to aspartic acid (an amino acid) which is known to be involved in energy production within the cell itself.

Chelation Functions In The Following Ways:

1. Food digestion, absorption and assimilation.

2. Formation and control of numerous body enzyme systems.

3. Synthesis of hormones.

4. Reduction of damage resulting from toxic substances.

5. Movement of vitamins, hormones, minerals and other nutrients to required tissues and organs.

6. Regulates interrelated functioning of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones, etc. in the body's cellular metabolic processes.

All metabolic systems of the body using metals require organic chelated or complexed metals.

All mineral chelates, gluconates, sulfates, etc., have different absorption potential.

WHY TESTING FOR TOXIC METALS?

How Toxic Metals Affect Your Body

Thermo-Magnetic therapy is a therapeutic modality where we use synergy between heat or infrared light and the magnetic field to reduce stress, manage pain and promote overall healing.

Magnet therapy is a direct application of a magnet to the surface of the skin or close to the skin to improve a condition such as pain.

Magnets were historically used to treat conditions such as general pain, pain after surgery, low back pain, foot pain, heel pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), carpel tunnel syndrome, painful menstrual periods, nerve pain caused by diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), sports injuries, and migraine headache. However, the success of the treatment depends on physical properties of the magnet and the duration of use. Our clinical research in VIVO has demonstrated a direct correlation between magnetic field of a permanent magnet and the increase in threshold potential of a neuron. Another in VITRO study demonstrated a reduction in the viscosity of dipolar fluids.

Heat therapy, also called thermotherapy, is the use of heat in therapy, such as for pain relief and health. It can be applied in the form of a hot cloth, hot water, heating pad, whirlpool baths, cordless FIR heat therapy wraps, and others. It can be beneficial to patients with arthritis and stiff or constricted muscles and injuries to the deep tissues. Heat may be an effective self-care treatment for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Heat therapy is most commonly used for rehabilitation purposes. The therapeutic effects of heat include increasing the extensibility of collagen tissues, decreasing joint stiffness, reducing pain, relieving muscle spasms, reducing inflammation, edema, and helps in the post-acute phase of healing, and increasing blood flow. The increased blood flow to the affected area provides proteins, nutrients, and oxygen for better healing.

The premise behind hot stone therapy is that the direct heat or energy transfer via infrared light emitted by heated stones relaxes muscles and helps to reduce inflammation. Combining hot stone protocols with other therapeutic modalities such as a massage, reflexotherapy, aromatherapy etc., provides healing and effective experience. The heat helps to expand (dilate) blood vessels and improve blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.

Since the heat is transferred in the form of infrared radiation (IR), it has developed into a commonly used and well-studied therapeutic modality. Clinical studies have shown that the most effective infrared light wavelength is between 850 and 900 nm.

National Institute of Health (NIH) has evaluated infrared therapy in a set of clinical trials, the conclusion was that combination of multidisciplinary treatment, and repeated thermal therapy may be a promising method for treatment of chronic pain.

Combination of heat therapy and magnetic therapy demonstrated a synergy in treatments of stress and chronic pain. The main premise of this treatment is to harness two separate physical phenomena to produce a new therapeutic benefit! As we know from the course of basic physics, all electrons in a magnet spin in the same direction, therefore, producing a magnetic field. When the magnet is heated, it releases a uniform concentrated beam of infrared radiation (IR) within the magnetic field. Therefore, modulation of two separate therapeutic effects of stress management and reduction of muscular tension produces anti-inflammatory pain reliving effect that can help to alleviate chronic pain.
