Natural Medicine - Consultation, Treatment, Analysis and Testing Natural Medicine - Consultation, Treatment, Analysis and Testing
Professional Health Consultation
The consultation centers around discovering from an examination of your medical history, complaints and symptoms what your main concerns are. From there, we put these concerns in order of priority and determine what further analysis or testing may be required(if any) and what treatment recommendations are needed to help bring you back to the most optimal health possible. Natural solutions to your concerns using diet, nutritional supplements, herbs, homeopathy, and a host of treatment options await you as you consult with Dr. Sloan.
Reflexology Treatment
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art that is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural functioning of the body. Essentially, Reflexology helps to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your whole body.
Nutritional Urinalysis
This invaluable screening enables us to gather information on a number of important health markers – 14 tests which help us to determine the presence of diabetes, infection, acidity, alkalinity(urinary pH) general immune system function, calcium levels, adrenal gland function and stress levels, Vitamin C levels and much more.
Cholesterol Testing
Testing for total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and cardiovascular risk ratio.
Dry Blood Analysis
When your drop of blood on the slide is allowed to dry and placed under a powerful electron microscope, Dry Blood Analysis can reveal vitamin and mineral deficiencies, organ toxicity, inflammation, presence of environmental and food allergies, free radical damage, immune dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, yeast overgrowth or candida, parasites and much more.
Hair Analysis
Some of the greatest health challenges many women and some men face are due to imbalances of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone and the male hormone testosterone. A women who is either pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal or menopausal can in many cases suffer numerous, differing symptoms of mental and physical distress due to hormonal imbalance. Research also shows that infertility, polycystic ovaries, fibrocystic breasts and most breast cancers are a result of hormonal imbalance. Our Saliva Tests are the most accurate way to determine imbalances in these hormones. This allows us to devise a natural hormone balancing program involving diet, lifestyle, and if necessary bio-identical hormones and other natural hormone balancing supplements.

Iodine Testing
Every cell in the body contains and utilizes iodine. Essential for life, iodine has many effects on the body: hormone production, nerve and muscle function, metabolism, tissue growth and repair, and cell respiration. It has been estimated that approximately one third of the world's population is iodine deficient, and studies in the United States have suggested that the number may be even higher, with some estimates as high as 95%.¹ Iodine deficiencies can occur not only because of inadequate intake, but also due to the damaging toxins we are exposed to every day. Given the various functions of iodine in the body, it is easy to see how even a slight deficiency can cause widespread problems.
An especially interesting area of study in iodine deficiency is the field of hormone balancing. Iodine is a crucial ingredient in the delicate balance of the endocrine system, and deficiencies have been implicated in conditions such as diabetes, polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS), fibrocystic breast disease, increased breast cancer risk and most commonly goiter(swelling of the thyroid gland).
More than 100 years ago, iodine was called "the universal medicine". Recent research may prove this to be true. Much promising research has been conducted on the use of iodine to treat fibrocystic breast disease, as iodine concentrates in and is secreted by the mammary glands. Normal breast architecture requires adequate iodine, and in a deficient state, the breasts and thyroid compete for available iodine. Hyperplasia may be induced in these glands. Estrogen production increases with an iodine deficiency, thus causing an increased sensitivity to estrogen by breast tissue. As early as twenty years ago The Lancet reported that iodine deficiency predisposes one to an increased risk of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer.² Assessing iodine levels and the imbalance of hormones is the key to lowering that risk.
