New Product Spotlight:
The Center for Health and Healing has begun carrying a new amino acid product called Cysnac.
Research indicates that addicts (alcohol, cocaine, heroine, marijuana et.al.) have problems with the cystine/glutamate transporter in the brain and it usually doesn’t kick back in even after sobriety without some help. N-acetyl cycteine helps balance this system, reducing drug seeking behavior as well as enhancing cognitive functioning in dementia patients. One bottle of 90 capsules sells for $25.00.
Bio Cleanse
Bio Cleanse is a highly ionized foot bath that removes toxins from the body contributing to poor physical and emotional health. It helps the body clear out heavy metals (lead, mercury, for example) and other toxins and pollutants from food and the environment. You will enjoy a warm footbath for about 25 minutes while the Bio Cleanse does its work on your body. Ten to twelve treatments are recommended to complete one cycle of cleansing, although many people notice changes after just a few treatments. The Bio Cleanse is very helpful for relieving sore muscles and enhancing the healing process after injuries or surgeries. Short description when hover over the link
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy using bilateral stimulation to help the brain process fears, anxieties, trauma, and other problems that seem to be stuck in the emotional area of the brain. This research-based therapy helps the client build on strengths and relieve the emotions that seem to be stuck in some past event.

TAAT (Targeted amino acid therapy)
Lab tests for saliva and urine are used to determine the imbalances in the brain’s neurochemicals (dopamine, serotonin, GABA, nor-epinephrine, etc) allowing recommendations of specific amino acids to correct these imbalances. Imbalances lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood swings, PMS, low libido, stress, migraines, ADHD. The amino acids can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional medication to help people with these issues. The saliva and urine tests are done in your own home and you then mail the prepaid package to the lab. Results are returned to your practitioner who can then work with you to recommend the specific amino acid supplements to balance your brain chemicals. Short description when hover over the link
Emotional problems
such as depression, anxiety, fear, and trauma can be reduced significantly
with the use of essential oils. The composition
of certain essential oils is very calming and sedating to the central nervous
system which reduces tension in our bodies. Essential oils quickly
absorb into the body first through the nasal passages and secondarily through
the skin. The amygdala gland (center for fear and trauma in the brain)
is activated by essential oils which assists the healing process by releasing
emotional traumas. Every negative emotional response can be improved
with the use of essential oils - Short description when hover over the link

Nutritional assessments and recommendations help the body function at its optimum using the proper foods. Eating the proper foods is one of the best preventive measures you can take to avoid physical and emotional problems. Your consultant will assess your current eating habits and recommend ways to improve your nutritional health. Often supplements are recommended as the American diet is woefully lacking in many of the vitamins and minerals the body needs to maintain good health. Every person has unique needs, so your consultant will work with you to determine your specific needs. Short description when hover over the link
