Neurotransmitter Balancing is based on over 15 years of research at The University of Minnesota Medical School. The goal of the therapy is to restore balance to the Master Neurotransmitters:

• Serotonin
• Dopamine
• Norepinephrine
• Epinephrine

These master Neurotransmitters regulate all other Neurotransmitters, and are closely linked to sex hormones, cortisol and melatonin regulation.

Although not limited to, listed are some of the symptoms you may be experiencing that MAY indicate the need for neurotransmitter balancing.  (It is also important to note that there may be other contributing factors to your emotional and physical symptoms and neurotransmitter balancing may improve a component of the experienced issues).

• Food cravings(in the absence of hunger)
• Difficultly falling or staying asleep
• Foggy thinking
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Restless leg syndrome
• Inability to handle everyday stress
• Irritability
• Tremors
• Alzheimer’s
• Fibromyalgia
• Parkinson’s
• ADD & ADHD
• Migraines
• OCD

Who Should Consider Neurotransmitter balancing?

An appointment with our clinic is the first step in assessment for the need of possible neurotransmitter balancing and supplementation. During the assessment our medical staff will assess your symptoms and determine the appropriate protocol specifically for you. If you are currently on any prescription drugs and or have any diagnosed medical issues it is important to notify the doctor on your visit. It may be possible to work with your prescribing physician or primary care provider to offer the best treatment option for your needs.

IV Therapy               
We also offer IV (intravenous) nutrition to more directly benefit from nutrient supplementation.  With this procedure nutrients are delivered directly to the cells, bypassing the digestive system.  When the digestive system is not functioning properly, nutrients taken in orally are often not utilized, as a compromised system inhibits their absorption and assimilation.  IV therapy has been proven to improve the signs and symptoms of chronic migraines, inflammatory conditions, skin conditions, fatigue, brain fog, lack of focus, sleeplessness, anxiety and stress, digestive conditions, allergies, and asthma, as well as prevention of colds and flu.  Come in and enjoy an energy boost while your cells marvel in vitamins and minerals.  You will soon see the benefits of this remarkable treatment.

Remember IV therapy’s immune enhancing benefits in the fall and winter, when we need it the most to fight off cold and flu viruses, and get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

Detoxification

Our Detox-Kit Solution will help eliminate toxins and stimulate the cleansing process for overall health and optimal immune response. The Detox-Kit will help give relief of symptoms that get us down from everyday lifestyles. Such as, an unbalanced diet, exposure to environmental toxins, recurrent colds and flu, unusual sleep patterns, and headaches or fatigue.

The Kit works by stimulating the body's natural process of elimination to cleanse itself of toxins, which can build up over time and negatively affect the immune system, and increase oxidative damage to cells and ultimately advances the ageing of cells and tissues.

The major organs for Drainage and Detoxification are the lymphatic system, liver, kidneys, bowels, skin and, lungs. The Detox Kit is made up of 3 formulations: Lymphomyosot, Nux Vomica Homaccord and Berberis-Homaccord.

The Lymphatic system is an important transportation system for draining toxic substances to the blood and from there to the detoxifying and excretory organs where they are transformed and excreted. With Lymphomyosot these lymphatic functions and the drainage of toxins are supported.
The liver is a key organ for metabolism and detoxification. It plays a very significant role as it transforms many toxic substances into a non-toxic and water soluble form to be excreted through the kidneys and bowels. With Nux vomica-Homaccord this function is stimulated and supported.

The kidneys are also very important for detoxification, but mainly for the excretion process. They filter about 190 quarts of fluids every day, which means that the entire blood volume flows through them numerous times daily. They can also transform toxins into non-toxic forms, but primarily act to excrete them via the urine. With Berberis-Homaccord this function can be stimulated and supported.

In addition to the digestive functions, the bowels also have the special function of protection and defense. The biggest part of our immune system is in fact located in its walls and protects us from harmful substances and infections. The substances that the body does not need are excreted. The skin is a special supplementary organ for the excretion of toxins. The lungs are essentially responsible for exchanging oxygen from fresh air with carbon dioxide produced in the body. Together with carbon dioxide we also exhale gaseous toxins.

Detoxification is one of the most important natural processes going on continuously in our body every day. Our detoxification treatment from Heel supports your body’s own natural detoxification system. Let us help you restore your overall health inside and out.
