A
Healthier You Starting Now! Detoxification Makes The Difference Not one of us is immune to environmental toxins. Almost everyone can
benefit from a safe detox -- one of the best ways to remain healthy in
a destructive environment. A safe detox program aims to remove the
cause of disease before it makes us ill. It's a time-honored way to
keep immune response high, elimination regular, circulation sound, and
stress under control, so your body can handle the toxicity it
encounters. The SOLO'S carbon surround technology is pure organic black carbon that
is cut into pliable sheets. After that electrical heater wiring is
added resulting in carbon heater sheets that cover the entire surface
area of the domes, totally surrounding your body, ensuring broadrange,
even heat distribution. Since the human body consists mostly of carbon,
the frequency at which it receives far-infrared heat is perfectly
compatible with Solo's heaters resulting in improved benefits. GREATER
PERFORMANCE In addition to the pure carbon heaters, a ceramic laced
cloth enhances far-infrared emissions, allowing for an even deeper
penetration of heat and improved health benefits. Your detox program
will include dietary changes, a combination of herbs and vitamins which
assist the liver in detoxification and use of an infrared sauna. Call a staff member for our discounted package prices! PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY
Pulsed magnetic fields have already been in use in Europe for at least 30 years. What has been found with the ongoing use of pulsed magnetic fields to the body is an induction of electrons, which creates a natural resonance that the body and its cells recognize and work to maintain. Based on extensive research, this new health concept is now being introduced into the United States and Canada with a new home health appliance called Magnopro. Questions abound with the introduction of this novel health technology that consists of a full body mattress, a small pillow and control panel that is plugged into a wall socket. "How do pulsed magnetic fields work?"
The human body is electro-magnetic in nature. We all know the brain and
nervous system are electrical. By adding a balancing charge to your
cells, your lifestyle improves because your cells are calibrated. Thus,
with continued use you will find you feel more vital because your cells
are better utilizing the water, food and air you take in. Increased
elimination of waste byproducts also occur. "I want to see real improvement with stress relief. How soon will I see results and what changes might I expect to see?" Some people see immediate relaxation, deepened and clearer breathing, relief from discomfort of one type or another, and better sleep that night. Some people need a few days to a few weeks to feel more energy, have body aches go away and see an improvement in their sleep. "Is the
Magnopro like a massage and does it affect my muscles?"
Pulsed magnetic fields are similar to a massage in that they do
increase blood flow and relax muscles. The results of pulsed magnetic
fields are more profound since electro-magnetic balancing occurs in the
body's cells. "Can you feel pulsing while lying on the mat?"
No, the magnetic field is so gentle and low that most people cannot
detect it. "How much time each day do I use the Magnopro? Do I sleep on
it?"
No, you do not sleep on the Magnopro. One fifteen-minute treatment upon
rising or after work is all you need. For best results, using the
Magnopro again before bedtime will assist in sleep and regenerating a
tired stressed body. "I am a busy person and have a full schedule. How
will I fit using the Magnopro into my daily routine?"
Use the Magnopro on a bed or in a chair while watching TV, opening the
mail, talking on the phone, holding a loved-one, reading, filing your
nails or simply relaxing! "Are there any contraindications?"
People with severe mycosis or epilepsy should consult a doctor before
use. It is not recommended for use by pregnant women or by people with
heart pacemakers. "Is this product safe?"
Yes, it can be used safely on children, animals and adults of all ages.
Pulsed magnetic fields are noninvasive and nontoxic, which makes them
ideal for gradual body rebalancing. "Will I experience any side
effects?"
There are no undesirable side effects. If a dull headache, increased
thirst, slight fatigue and achy muscles are initially experienced,
persist with increased water intake. These symptoms will clear when
toxics have released from the body. "Would using Magnopro lower my overall health care costs?" Yes, ongoing lifetime use of pulsed magnetic fields lowers stress levels in the body. This can prevent disease before it starts. Taking this kind of preventative approach will lower health care costs overall by reducing the need for more costly treatments such as medication or surgery. Pulsed magnetic fields will continue to be the choice of educated consumers as a new approach to "Pure Prevention" in health care. Now, optimizing your lifestyle only takes 15 minutes of whole body relief using the Magnopro. Use of the MagnoPro haS been proven
safe and effective in Europe and Australia. As yet, no medical claims
are made or implied concerning use or application in the USA. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

Nanogreens 10 is a super greens food that supplements your diet with up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables. Today, scientists better appreciate
that dark greens, brightly colored fruits and vegetables are not only
rich in vitamins and minerals, but phytonutrients. Ongoing nutritional
research has demonstrated that optimizing phytonutrient intake by
eating 7 to 13 servings a day may: * increase energy, naturally,
without stimulants * reduce appetite, improve metabolism, assist weight
loss efforts * restore regular elimination and assist digestion *
reduce inflammation, relieve stiff and achy joints and muscles * lower
risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke * inhibit hardening
of the arteries * protect your vision from age related vision loss and
blindness (ARMD) * maintain strong bones * support immune function and
increase resistance to infections * reduce allergy symptoms without
drowsiness * improve mental acuity and protect mind and memory *
detoxify toxic metals and chemicals * help slow aging of the skin and
dulling of the hair To enjoy these benefits and protections the USDA just announced we
Americans need to eat approximately 50 % more vegetables, 150% more
fruit, 250% more orange and 350% more green vegetables every day.
That's 7 to 13 servings a day! In spite of the governments best
efforts, few American adults, and far fewer children, even eat the
recommended minimum 5-a-Day! A month's supply only cost $41.00, which is much more cost efficient then othe greens products. The research is out and Nanogreens 10 has the best antioxidant activity per cost compared to the following products:

DITI-
(Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging or Thermography) is a non- invasive
diagnostic technique that allows the examiner to visualise and quantify
changes in skin surface temperature. An infrared scanning device is
used to convert infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface into
electircal impulses that are visualised in color on a monitor. This
visual image graphically maps the body temperature and is referred to
as a thermogram. Today, breast cancer is a major health risk to all
women. It silently grows and destroys uninterrupted for 10 years. Early
detection and prevention is the key. Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging takes a thermal picture to determine
abnormalities or changes in the breast tissue. Thermography can detect
irregular patterns years before a mammogram. Best of all, Thermal
Imaging is painless, non-invasive, and has no radiation. For the sake of ourselves, our mothers, grandmothers, wives, daughters, sisters, and friends, we can beat this.
Early detection saves lives. DITI's role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in
early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the
establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of
disease. When used with other procedures, the best possible evaluation
of breast health is made. This 15 minute non-invasive test is a valuable procedure for alerting
your GP or specialist to the possibility of underlying breast disease.
This test is designed to improve chances for detecting fast-growing,
active tumors in the intervals between mammographic screenings or when
mammography is not indicated by screening guidelines for women under 50
years of age. All patient's thermograms (breast images) are kept on
record and form a baseline for all future routine evaluations. DITI is especially appropriate for younger women between 30 and 50
whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to
pick up suspicious lesions. This test can provide a 'clinical marker'
to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs
particularly close examination. The faster a malignant tumor grows, the
more infrared radiation it generates. For younger women in particular,
results from DITI screening can lead to earlier detection and
ultimately, longer life. OUR NEXT THERMOGRAPHY SCREENING WILL BE HELD

Please call a staff member to schedule now 708.771.3471 Understanding Vitamin D
The
high rate of natural production of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol
(pronounced koh·luh·kal·sif·uh·rawl) in the skin is the single most
important fact every person should know about vitamin D?a fact that has
profound implications for the natural human condition. Technically not a "vitamin," vitamin D is in a class by itself. Its
metabolic product, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone that
targets over 2000 genes (about 10% of the human genome) in the human
body. Current research has implicated vitamin D deficiency as a major
factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as
heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes,
depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle
weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, and more. Vitamin D's influence on key biological functions vital to one's health
and well-being mandates that vitamin D no longer be ignored by the
health care industry nor by individuals striving to achieve and
maintain a greater state of health. Sunshine and Your Health If well adults and adolescents regularly avoid sunlight exposure,
research indicates a necessity to supplement with at least 5,000 units
(IU) of vitamin D daily. To obtain this amount from milk one would need
to consume 50 glasses. With a multivitamin more than 10 tablets would
be necessary. Neither is advisable. The skin produces approximately 10,000 IU vitamin D in response 20-30
minutes summer sun exposure-50 times more than the US government's
recommendation of 200 IU per day! In your next appointment ask Dr. Reynes about getting a Vitamin D 25(OH) test to determine your Vitamin D requirements. DETOX PROGRAMDr.
Reynes uses a 3 Step Detoxification process, which is part of our 6
Week Wellness Program. Our Detox program is unique in that we use specific products in the
first phase of the detox to combat inflammation and clean the body of
allergens. This is done by using an NF-Kappa B (the gene that causes
pain) inhibiting supplement and specialized enzymes. Step 2 uses metabolic cleansing to address toxic overload, harmful
bacteria, heavy metal toxicity and leaky gut. Step 3 is the regeneration and repair stage, which addresses cell
malnourishment and joint repair. All subsequent program components consist of additional dietary, exercise, stress reduction techniques, breathing exercises and additional guidelines for optimal detoxification. WELLNESS ESSENTIALSWellness
